Bio

Mike grew up in Pennsylvania and in 2005 moved to Arizona where he’s rarely cold and doesn’t have to shovel snow. He graduated from Bucknell University with a major in English and a minor in Chemistry and still wonders what to do with them. He currently works as a nuclear medicine technologist mainly so he has someone to talk to. This lets him photograph on the side without having to live on ramen and sleep on friends’ couches, though he quite likes ramen and has slept on some very comfortable couches. The rest of his time is devoted to various cats. They don’t like ramen, but they do like couches.
 Mike was baptized in 2019 and wonders if he still has that “new soul” smell. His ultimate dream would be to visit Mars (and ideally make the trip back too). In the meantime he keeps making pictures. Mike’s approach to photography is minimalist, which if you’ve seen his comic book collection seems like a complete lie. He prefers to work with the subject, his camera, and whatever light is available. It also means he doesn’t have to lug around a lot of extra equipment, which just sounds like work.
