If you’re on this page, you probably know me – my name is Charlie. Since I was seven years old, my main instrument for documenting my life has been my camera – I borrowed my mom’s old Pentax on a family vacation and never turned back. Recently I’ve been tapping into my passion for writing and, since the fall of 2024, I’ve turned to this blog as a means of documenting my life and expressing myself artistically. In most cases a blog is centered around a specific theme (or so I’ve been told). I won’t make that claim about my blog, but I aspire to an environment-oriented publication, merging current events, creative work, and travel writing. My past two years have been spent in rural France and in Dublin, Ireland, and consequently many of my recent photos have catalogued my time in Europe. Think of this as a living document – like a mental dustbin or a scrapbook of sorts.
