Everybody That I Love Will Die

When our friend passed away suddenly from an aggressive form of cancer, both my life and the lives of my friends changed forever. The carefree spirit that once defined our group vanished, and each of us began to confront our own mortality in new ways, viewing the future through a different lens. Over the past two decades, I have documented myself, my friends, and what we called our “last summer.” Now, that summer is truly over.

The series documents our lives from our restless 20's into our, sometimes, settled-down 40's with station wagons, mortgages and kids. It is a rough but tender look into growing up and growing older. The series consists of around 150 photos taken over the last 20+ years.

This is a deeply personal and emotional series for me. I was heavily inspired while still in school by photographers such as Jouko Lehtola and Wolfgang Tillmans, and their work orignally sparked me to start to document these lives.

Work in progress. Book coming out in 2026.
