about the project
I moved to Denton in 2015 with my now wife and instantly fell in love with the town. At the time, I was still recovering from having my camera gear stolen from me - but continued to be inspired by what this little town has to offer.
From the music, the artwork, and never-ending introductions to the locals - I was constantly inspired.
Fast forward to 2020, the world shutdown and I began to see local businesses shut down. In order to preserve the memory of what I knew was Denton, I decided to start a photo project to keep the memory alive for years to come - no matter what changes this town would eventually face.
In May of 2023, I released this project as a 10x10 Limited Edition hard cover, limited to 100 copies. At
the time I had no idea hat to expect, or how many to print - let alone how many I'd sell.
To my surprise, all 100 copies were sold within an hour of the release.
In the following months I had seen an outpour of messages and emails asking if I'd sell them a copy.
No matter how much it pained me to let people down, I stuck to my word and the 100th copy was it.
Since then I have decided to make a more affordable option with no orer limit to make this project accessible to those who want a piece of this town in their home.

Thank you to the people of Denton and anyone who has or planned to grab a copy of This is Denton. Thank you to those who have believed in me and my art. Because of you, I am able to continue doing what I love, and continue more projects.
Over the last four years I have met some of the most incredible souls I've ever ocome across. From the folks who came out to the initial release, to the clients who met me at the courthouse lawn for a print, and anyone who has messaged me on Instagram throughout the years of making these photographs -Thank you for your continued support - you are truly the most inspiring piece of this puzzle.
This is Denton
