Third random coordinate in LA… the ocean. Spent three days photographing on film and recording video. It’s been so long since I’ve shot the ocean on film—I forgot how differently it captures the movement of water. Part of a new project…The Outcast of the Universe.

My second random location photographing with the medium format camera onto film landed near Lancaster—no power lines, just open desert. It's been interesting getting back into medium format after years away—these are a few quick iPhone shots.

It was a random location…the 12 gps coordinates that I have to work with this year are all over Los Angeles county…randomly the first location was in Altadena…which would have looked a lot different if I did this project last year.

For 2025, I’m photographing a different part of LA each month using randomly selected GPS coordinates from ChatGPT—shot on 120mm film with my old 6x7 camera. The first location: Altadena. The fire’s devastation is immense. Here’s a picture from my iPhone…
