This is work from so long ago, I had actually forgotten about it. In November of 2023 (yes, over a year ago!) I was hired to photograph Phoenix-based artist Mike Carson for LUXE Interiors + Design. I had been waiting for this to publish and completely forgot about it until recently.

What I’m sharing here is some photos of likely the most photographed places in the world. Places where I couldn’t possibly make a unique image. Places where tour guides will gladly take your phone, frame up a shot, and take the same photo some asshole sold for a million dollars or something. It’s places where real landscape photographers might bust out the tripod, spend an hour framing up the perfect shot, then wait for the perfect light, the perfect moment.
