Joining a panel next week Jan. 22nd from 6:30-7:30 at in Wilmington for a discussion of “Art After Helene,” with and who are also in the current exhibition. It’s an interesting time to look back at work created over a year ago and the impact it currently has on people. Hope you can make it. (Doors open at 6:00pm.)

I’ve taken on a special projects this past few years that take longer to see the light of day. It’s mostly due to releasing things when they’re ready versus just rushing them out. This slowing down in terms of process is a different mindset for met, be they my own personal project or in support of other artists trying to bring their vision to life. One such project is in support of the new album by called “Little Deaths.”

The challenge became one of bringing his vision to life without having finished songs to riff off of visually as far any imagery went. Sage though had a vision in mind for how the themes of the songs would be echoed through images. It still left latitude to explore within those boundaries because there with a generalized framework, which is both liberating and terrifying, as you’re trying to intuit the very thing someone else has been living with in their headspace for some time.

There’s pressure there to get that right even though there’s no right or wrong answer necessarily, just what resonates with the artist so that they feel they’ve been heard. The various slides above represent multiple shoots in different locations made over two winters ago in the Before time when the world wasn’t completed upended.

Besides having a vision, it’s also comforting to work with someone who is very aware of their surroundings and relationship to the camera while also allowing room for me to experiment.

Now that the album is out, I’ve listened to it multiple times with a different POV of how the images serve the stories within that world. It’s available on multiple platforms and available through a link in Sage’s bio.

Now go get you some fabulous Little Deaths.

A year ago rummaging through post-Helene aftermath never thinking I’d be at a show opening as part of a museum exhibition. You don’t capture the images then thinking about how they’ll be used later, you just know you have to capture the images. Very heartfelt thanks to the curatorial team of for including the before/after series in From Mountains To Sea. The show is up through 5/10/26 if you’re in Wilmington. I’ll be on a panel talk coming up on 1/22/26 speaking about the work. (Details TBA.)

The expectation of anniversaries can be a heavy thing. Four months ago I wandered through the swept shell of . Last night I walked a mile to be in the same space that was now standing-room only, filled with hundreds of other people who turned out in support. Normally, that’s reason enough to bail on an event. 

Instead, an anniversary came to mind. But it wasn’t the day Helene turned the world upside down – it was that four-month anniversary this past May when I looked around and thought, “Open by Summer? Ambitious, if it can be done.”

And here we were. 

I hadn’t ever seen a crowd that size for one venue in RAD before. It showed above all else that a dreaded first Helene anniversary doesn’t have to be about destruction, but progress. A thing said early in the recovery has guided how I’ve documented it:

Don’t just come and take a picture of the rubble – come back and tell the story six months from now. A year from now. And so on. The Before & After series I keep adding to sees a new “& After” update every few months now.

It is also the story of not bailing. 

Of survivors directly impacted choosing to stay and rebuild. Robert in RAD stayed. They rebuilt. People returned. The After that was last night’s turnout was people believing again in a place called RAD.

And the real anniversary I want to think about is in a year from now when other places have returned and rebuilt, all because they saw Marquee do it.

Like I said I shoot live artists and dead buildings. Sometimes the buildings got people in them so I guess that don’t make them dead as much. ANYWAY, point is I got a show of the latter coming up this week in Sumter, SC. If you’re in the region swing by this Friday night for the opening > .gallery.salon
