snafu—field notes extends my long-term project, snafu — sixty-six handmade books and a field guide that form a living archive of American life.

Here, I share what drifts outside the books — photographs, fragments, and quiet reflections on the everyday.

It’s a space for attention: the small alignments, contradictions, and moments when the world reveals itself without asking to be seen.

Subscribers receive new field notes directly by email — glimpses of process, images in rhythm, and occasional writings on the making of the archive.

All posts remain free to read and share; the intent is continuity, not exclusivity — an open record of looking.

In Whitman’s spirit, snafu gathers multitudes — clarity and confusion, beauty and ruin — accepting fragmentation as a kind of wholeness.
