Affinity Visuals

Last caress before the encore.

This year tested me in ways I never expected—heavy losses, hard pauses, and a lot of growth in between. From hospital visits to getting injured protecting my camera at a show and landing on short-term disability for (now) the second time... 2025 definitely wasn’t my favorite year.

But it was real. And through it all, I was reminded how much love, support, and beauty still exist. As I reflect on this year, what I feel most is gratitude—for every lesson, every moment, and every person who showed up for me and believed in me.

A huge thank you to yet again Thrillrot, Thurston, The Walking Corpses, Koy Pond, and every local artist who welcomed me into their world and gave me the chance to do what I love. Your support means everything to me. (We should host another house show and not have the cops show up at 6pm this time!)

Cheers to continued healing, gratitude, and a fresh start in 2026. Here’s to more photography, shenanigans, and growth. ❤️‍🩹

With love and gratitude,
