emonome | photography zine
Stories don’t just connect us. They unite us.
emonome is a print-only, monthly photography zine. Each 40-page issue weaves together my photographs with the occasional short fiction, poetry, illustration, and collage to explore a universal theme that shapes us as artists.
I've been a photojournalist for over fifteen years, contributing to nearly a thousand stories for The New York Times and other major publications.
This is different.
emonome is where the photographer, the filmmaker, and the rule-breaker converge. My independence from the gatekeepers who masquerade as tastemakers. My refusal to stay in lane.
Where to begin: Each issue, no matter when published, stands on its own and is evergreen. Start with any issue/theme that resonates, or curate your own bundle.

“If you want to be taken seriously, be funny.”
The line dropped like an anchor in my head the morning I greeted 2026.
It wasn’t a line of dialogue for a story—it was a message for me.

Connections that last a lifetime are held by a constellation of silences: an embrace when it’s hard, a nod that says I see you, the quiet after a work of art moves through us.
We practice to earn silence. Not perfection.

Who were we when we made our earliest work? We may forget, but the work remembers everything: the clarity, audacity, and raw instincts that drove us. Revisiting my old work recently reminded me of the person I aspire to be today. What I make today is evidence of who I'll discover tomorrow.

Some say a fear of the dark stems from having a fear of the unknown, but I find comfort in the darkness. I don’t agree that darkness is the absence of light. The dark is my subconscious, a place where ideas wait for the light of day.

It isn’t always easy being green. It isn’t always easy being a multi-hyphenate. It’s a constant call-and-response with the world, failing in the most interesting ways, and building your own stage to perform on. Embrace being a square peg in a round world.

I never considered myself lucky. But this is an ode to luck. Good luck and bad luck. Luck isn’t a finger wagger, but the one holding the "One More Mile To Go" sign at the end of every difficult trek.
