Two lenses, one world

I'm Sam. I live in Berkeley with my kid and a music setup that was definitely worth every penny (ask me again in a year). I spent most of my twenties traveling the world making photographs for a living, 20-something countries, a few Lonely Planet covers, and a frankly unreasonable amount of time in airports. Now I shoot because I can't stop, which turns out to be a better reason anyway.

I'm drawn to the blue hour, books, and conversations that go longer than planned. I have strong opinions about lenses, records, and the right way to spend a Sunday — most of which involve walking somewhere without a particular destination, which my kid finds less charming than I do.

Perfection is a useful compass but a terrible destination. The best photographs and the best products have this in common.
