I specialize in event and portrait photography, with a documentarian style.
Let’s turn present moments into tomorrow’s memories.
Working through the backlog of things lately, have more TFP work from the gathering at the end of March at the @americansignmuseum with @thats.so.ginge
Always a pleasure to work with people who are more talented in front of the camera than I am behind it!

On Wednesday April 29th, local community organizations including @indivisiblewci, @black_legacy_project_wc, and local chapters of the NAACP and League of Women Voters hosted a “meet the candidates” events to learn where individuals running for offices directly impacting the Richmond and Wayne County Indiana areas stand and primary Election Day approaches on May 5th.
Pete Zaleski (R), running for state representative of IN56 was asked prepared questions first, focused on affordability and cost of living.
Following Ron Itnyre (D), and sitting state senator Jeff Raatz, (R), answered questions around taxes, affordability, due process, and education to present themselves for the upcoming midterm election in November.
Closing the evening, Wayne County Sheriff candidates Alan Moore (R) and Kyle Weatherly (R), both answered question on how they’d operate as the county’s head of law enforcement, while both pulling from their lifelong public service experience and commitment to public safety.

And now for something completely different.
I’ve been dabbling in film for the past couple months, and decided to give 35mm panoramas a go by loading regular 35mm film into the RB67.
It’s certainly something I’ll explore a bit more with some different stocks.
Huge shout out to @benetorious and @oblivionindiana for developing this roll of experiments.

In the last hours of April’s first Saturday, I was privileged to go on a ride along in the astral plane and beyond with the first unsupervised episode @ritualstatik one of the newest radio shows broadcast on @weciradio.
Ritual Statik, hosted by @thesamstone and @blroosa, airs live Fridays from 10PM to 12AM eastern time on 91.5FM (or over the internet via TuneIn). Exploring the dark, gritty, and sludgy side of music. Ritual Statik is bound to show you the next doom, stoner, or sludge track you’ll be unable to stop listening to.

Nick Dittmeier (@nick_dittmeier_music) brought his exceptional songwriting and guitar talent and quintessential Americana style back to Richmond for March’s first Flavor Notes showcase.
Nick’s songwriting is astounding as his guitar picking skills, and he blends Americana, rock, and country tones with wonderful storytelling that always becomes an earworm.

(Working through some of the backlog, so things are coming out well past when they happened. Working on cleaning up that turn around.)

A continuation of the TFP meetup at the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati.

My name’s Taylor. I’ve been taking pictures for over a decade. I focus on capturing the essence of a moment wholistically. My work stands on it’s own as individual images, but really shines when my photos are seen in there complete collection.
My my goal is to always produce the best work possible, and create images that blend technical expertise, human compassion, and a little bit of magic.
