blog—occasional stuff, probably with no overarching theme.

Photographs give me hope. I am a political scientist interested in the institutional foundations of collective decision making. Political science research takes creativity and imagination, but provides a somewhat cold and cynical, albeit not entirely unoptimistic, view of people and their world. Taking pictures, from seeing something interesting to capturing it and printing it or putting it here, is my way of looking at the world from a different, more intimate, and I hope warmer perspective.

I took all the pictures here with either a Fujifilm X20—a trusty, compact, and remarkably capable travel companion and gateway drug to bigger things—or a Fujifilm X-E3. I hope you like them. But if you came here looking for a political scientist and not photographs, try here.

If you want a print, email me.
