A Personal View of Place
Photographs and reflections from the road, organized by state and city and shaped more by observation than destination.
What You’ll Find Here
Eye Before You is a growing collection of documentary-style travel photography, with a strong focus on urban geometry — shapes, lines, color, and shadow in cities and towns across the lower 48. Organized by state and city, each place is shaped by its own visual thread — the recurring details, forms, textures, and patterns that begin to define how I see it. The site also includes journal entries that trace what caught my attention, what stayed with me, and how each place unfolded along the way.

Featured City
Fitchburg, Massachusetts: Fitchburg is one of those places that rewards close attention. Its downtown streets, older buildings, and shifting light make room for both strong urban geometry and quieter photographs that speak to mood, texture, and time. It is a city that reflects much of what this project is about: observation, character, and the visual language of place.
From the Journal
Behind the Camera
After more than 35 years in creative work, I’m finally giving more time and attention to the kind of photography that has always meant the most to me. Based in New England, I travel with a curious eye, drawn to shape, light, structure, and the small details that give a place its character. This site reflects a new chapter in my life — a chance to slow down, follow what truly interests me, and create something personal and lasting.
