Andrew would never write this himself, so we’re doing it for him.

He’s far too modest to tell you how seriously he takes this work — how deeply he believes that photography isn’t just about capturing a moment, but about honoring the people, places, and stories behind it. He won’t tell you that his influences include the greats — Bresson, Frank, Weegee, Seymour, Capa, Eisenstaedt — not because he wants to imitate them, but because, like them, he feels a responsibility to look closely and honestly at the world.

Andrew doesn’t chase spectacle. He’s drawn to real life — its texture, its contradictions, its quiet dignity. He finds meaning in a glance, a gesture, a shadow on a wall. His photographs don’t shout; they listen. They reveal. And they remind us that justice isn’t always loud — sometimes it’s simply refusing to look away.

If you’ve ever taken a road trip with him, you know to expect sudden stops. He’ll pull over on the shoulder, in the middle of nowhere, because he’s spotted something — a boarded-up diner, an odd arrangement of light and wire, a moment that will vanish in seconds — and he needs to photograph it. Not for likes, not for show. Just because it moved him, and that’s reason enough.

We’ve seen how he walks through neighborhoods for hours, camera in hand, patient and alert. We’ve watched him engage with people — quietly, respectfully. His work is full of empathy, even when it’s uncomfortable. Especially then.

We love his photographs not just because they’re beautiful (they are), but because they tell the truth. About cities. About inequality. About resilience. About joy, too — often in the most unexpected places.

And perhaps this isn’t directly related, but it says a lot: Andrew owns The Hobbit in more languages than most of us can name, can still quote whole passages from Harry Potter, and can recite virtually every Seinfeld episode line for line. His eye for timing, irony, and the absurd isn’t limited to his photography — it’s part of how he moves through the world: with curiosity, wit, and a deep appreciation for both the serious and the ridiculous.

This website is a collection of what he sees. He won’t say it, so we will: it matters.
