The Indian Removal Act was signed into law by President Andrew Jackson #onthisday, May 28, in 1830, to strip Native Americans of their land rights - 54 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

In 2016-17, National Guard troops and personnel from over 75 law enforcement agencies from around the country used aircraft, automatic rifles, sound cannons, and concussion grenades to create a battlefield-like atmosphere against people protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline at the Standing Rock Reservation.

#America250
Minnesota Governor pays respect to the vigil of George Floyd.

Today marks 6 years since George Floyd was murdered by Derek Chauvin, an officer of the Minneapolis Police Department. A moment in history that reignited a reckoning of Civil and Human movements across the nation, the death of Floyd has also forged a new level of community building and mutual aid protection within the larger Twin Cities area.

This past winter as ICE agents swarmed Minnesota, MLPS showed the nation how to resist fascism, both in the streets and behind closed doors. That level of resistance was built from strong community building, found through the days, weeks and months following the death of George Floyd.

ā€œMy Daddy changed the Worldā€, a quote by George’s 6 year old daughter, Gianna.

…and she was right.

Rest in Peace, George.
Today I turn 44.

I have a lot to be thankful for today. Over the last decade, I’ve focused on doing the inner work to be a better version of myself. Overcoming alcohol abuse to living a drug & alcohol free lifestyle, to working through PTSD and trauma, to focusing on my passions and dreams, I’m very thankful for the person I have grown into.

More importantly, I am incredibly thankful for the people in my life. Through hard work, grit & determination, I’ve have been able to turn my dreams into a reality, using my passions and skill sets for the world I believe in. But none of that would be possible without the love, care & support of friends, family and the larger community here on social media.

Working outside the scope of a traditional photography career, my project has only been possible thanks to those who directly make my work possible. Through print and gallery sales, to Patreon, I have been able to chase my wildest dreams while working for and on behalf of a larger community.

Both Freedom and I thank you all so much. Love y’all.

I don’t ask for much, but if you’d like to support my work, consider becoming a Patreon member: link in bio.

Each day I am coming closer to completing my photography book, and cannot wait to share it all with you.

Love you all, again, and thank you for everything.
Approaching 6 years since I first began my photography book project of photographing the United States, both to understand what it means to be an American, and where we exist as a nation. From coast to coast, to Alaska, to the Everglades, I have searched to understand what divides us, but also what connects us. Constantly putting myself in vulnerable and uncomfortable positions, I’ve made the best effort I can to photograph not only the world I want to believe in, but also the opinions I dont align with. To create a book of this country, I’d be doing both myself and this work an injustice by only showing half the story.

And that’s only the documentary work.
The landscape and symbolism is a whole other story to tell.

Here are a few images from the mountain of photographs along my travels.

Thank you to everyone who makes this work possible.
Special thank you to the homies over at for allowing us at Renee’s vigil to walk alongside our friend Terry during the MayDay Parade yesterday.

Terry, better known a ā€œDino-Cologistā€, spent the harsh winter across Portland Ave, supervising us as we cared for Renee’s vigil. To see him transformed into such a wonderful piece of rolling art for the community was such a glow up for our pal.

In the heart of the Black Hills sits Pe’Sla, ā€œthe heart of everything that isā€. This sacred site for the Lakota people is currently under attack by an illegal mining company, threatening the spiritual center of the Oceti Sakowin, or 7 Fires of the Lakota Nation.

This morning Indigenous youth took action, locking down to construction equipment and halting the mining exploration company dead in its tracks.

2026 marks the 10th anniversary of the Standing Rock Movement (NODAPL), an Indigenous-led resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline. ⁣
⁣
In late 2015, word began spreading about Dakota Access, a 1,172 mile oil pipeline which would pass through lands considered unceded territory under an 1868 treaty, lands they consider sacred, and eventually under the Missouri River just north of the Standing Rock reservation. Seventeen million people downstream, including the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River tribes, rely on water from the river. A group of Indigenous youth runners held a prayer run to deliver a message rejecting the pipeline to the Army Corps’ regional office in Omaha, informing tribal communities along the way. The youth then continued onward, eventually running all the way to the ACoE headquarters in Washington DC.⁣
⁣
In April 2016, a group of Lakota established Sacred Stone prayer camp on the edge of the Cannonball River. What began as a small resistance eventually grew to a number of protest camps, including Sacred Stone, Rosebud & Oceti Sakowin camp. With over 100,000 people, including representatives from over 300 tribal nations passing through these camps, NODAPL became one of the largest gatherings of tribal nations in the history of the United States.⁣
⁣
On December 5th of 2016, the Obama administration halted approval for the pipeline, calling for heightened environmental review. Only a month later, Donald Trump came into office, restarting the pipeline construction as one of his first Executive Orders during his first term. ⁣
⁣
After ten years, DAPL continues operating without a final permit. #NoDAPL ⁣

Thousands of community members packed the corner of Portland Ave and 33rd St. this evening in Minneapolis. The sudden vigil was held for Renee Good, a fellow neighbor & mother murdered by ICE agents this morning.
From Palestine to Congo to Turtle Island ~ our brothers and sisters are crying out.
The same machinery of greed that poisons water at Standing Rock is bombing children in Gaza, mining the bones of the Congo, and silencing those who dare to protect the Earth.

This is not separate. It’s the same system of domination ~ colonial, capitalist, patriarchal ~ devouring life itself.

We can’t look away anymore.
We can’t stay numb, scrolling through genocide.
We must rise together - artists, mothers, activists, dreamers ~ to defend the sacred.

Every voice counts. Every act matters. Every prayer ripples outward.
Stand with those who still believe another world is possible.

Because if one child suffers, we all do.
And if one rises, we all rise.

Thank you šŸ™šŸ¼

#EachLifeSacred #FreePalestine #Congo #StandingRock #WaterIsLife
For nearly a decade I have dedicated my life to documenting the stories that matter & sharing them with the world. From the border of Mexico, to divestment actions in NYC, this tireless work as an independent photographer has taken me across the nation more times than I could count. I couldn’t be more thankful.

Although I wish more people would mobilize into action, I also understand a lot of my financial support comes from those who can’t make it into the streets.

If you can’t make it to the frontlines, consider supporting someone who can. Be it $1, $5 or $20 a month, every bit goes a long way. This work isn’t easy, and it sure isn’t cheap.

Every photo I share here, be it from the front lines of social issues, to dairy farmers in Vermont, is 100% funded by every day people who believe in my work

Consider supporting frontline, Independent Photojournalism.

Love y’all.
