Spanning seasons and cities—from New York to Mexico City, Los Angeles to Philadelphia—these 35mm photos capture shifting textures of time and place. They explore light and color, layer and perspective; the ways people shape a space—or quietly leave behind traces of their presence. This collection is a mosaic of how I see the world: sometimes inherited, sometimes constructed, always experienced.
Mike’s Artist Statement
My photography lives in the intersections: between people and place, nature and city, the fleeting moment and the enduring truth. How time, place, people, and our relationships between them shape the reality we experience — and often the one we overlook.
I shoot entirely on 35mm film, a practice that began with the Nikon FM my late father gave me. The process forces me to be present and intentional. With a limited number of frames and no instant playback, every photo becomes an act of trust — in the light, the composition, and the feeling of the moment.
In recent years, I’ve begun studying meditation and Buddhist thought. While my work isn’t explicitly spiritual, that exploration has clearly reshaped how I see. It’s helped me understand that being present is the only way to truly experience life — and for me, the camera is a vehicle to do just that. It demands that I move slowly and pay attention to the world around me with unwavering focus. The result of that is what you see in my work.
Together is a reflection of that mindset. It’s about coexistence — between nature and the built environment, between people and the world we move through. My hope is that these images offer a sense of stillness, a thread of connection, and a reminder that if you stop and take a look around — you’ll experience the was, the is, and the will be, quietly existing… together.
