I’m running out of forgiveness. I do my best to stay active and play by the rules- but to be facing possibly losing a month of tips, with no warning, is just cruel. It’s making it hard for me to feel valued and trust the team, if everything I’ve earned this month can be taken away like this.

The tokenized art space faces hurdles—big ones, complex ones—but I’ve accepted that I can’t solve them all. What I can do is stay true to my vision as an artist, and that matters. At times, I feel the weight of the NFT stigma, especially in contemporary art circles. When introduced as ‘the photographer who sells NFTs,’ I instinctively brace for judgment. But then, I stand tall. I share my art, my inspirations, and why I chose to tokenize my digital originals—how it connects to the history and future of photography. And you know what? People listen. They see my passion. They ask questions. Onboarding collectors remains a challenge, but the conversations? They’re shifting. I can’t fix everything, but I can contribute. And I’m proud to do my part.

A portrait of a stallion, from my series Wild Mustangs. The way the mud clings to its face—almost like nature’s own brushstrokes—adds to its raw, untamed beauty.

Heartbroken to learn of AlphaTrilogy's passing. A true champion of digital photography, his passion for this evolving medium and belief in my work—like his acquisition of Plate 15, Ebbing Tide—meant so much to me. Grateful we connected through art. Rest in peace. 🖤

These three images are the only photographs I've ever tokenized as editions. They’re pieces of a larger story I’m proud to tell: one of curiosity, humor, preservation, and celebration. These works weren’t just created to be seen; they were meant to connect on a broader scale—to share moments that bring us closer, even across time and space.

As we stand in the winds of change, I find myself reflecting on the ever-shifting landscapes and communities we call home. What does ‘home’ mean to you? Is it a physical place, a feeling of belonging, or something else entirely?

With another crypto art marketplace shutting down, it’s a reminder of the challenges we face. Artists and collectors share the responsibility to preserve their work. Platforms may come and go, but the artist’s role in safeguarding this digital legacy is more important than ever.

Reflecting on my SR Genesis, a piece that captures a part of my home, California. In light of the devastating LA fires, I’m reminded of how fragile our surroundings can be. It’s why documenting this place—its beauty, its essence—feels so important. We never know when things might change, or when parts of what we love could be lost forever.

Natural Inscriptions, Rock Ed. of 33 2023 Reflecting on the recent interest in Bitcoin inscriptions and the idea of permanence; stone is one of the most permanent materials, these etchings have been here for centuries. Will our digital tokens last longer? Maybe, maybe not.

As I reflect on the journey of my work in the digital art space, I’m reminded of when I first authenticated my collection Wild Mustangs on OpenSea years ago. The provenance of those works, is tied to the earlier OS shared contract, holding a unique significance to my journey. While new platforms like Rodeo are gaining attention for making digital art more social and accessible, I’ve chosen to focus on building upon the legacy of my early works and the conversations they inspire. The history and provenance of my art are fundamental to its significance, with each piece carrying a unique story. The rarity of the original digital work adds to its depth, as it represents a singular moment in time—an irreplaceable connection to the past. This journey of creation is about more than just the finished product; it’s about preserving something valuable and authentic.
