emonome | photography zine
emonome is a monthly, print-only photography zine.
Each 40-page issue weaves together my photographs, short fiction, poetry, and illustration around a single theme.
For over a decade, I've worked as a visual storyteller for The New York Times. My video and audio works have been published internationally. But this is different.
emonome is where all of me converges—the observer, the seeker, the storyteller, the rule-breaker.
How to choose: Each issue explores a single theme. Browse below and pick one that calls to you. Start there. These are monthly in rhythm, not in relevance — a past issue’s theme may hit closer to home.
Or choose a bundle of different issues, where themes reference each other and reveal surprise connections.
You’ll find bundle offers just after the full list of issues.
Latest - Issue 011
No. 11 is emonome’s first all black-and-white photography issue and closes a complicated chapter in my relationship with making images in black and white. This issue neither seeks affirmation nor pays homage to the medium’s supposed role in truth-telling. It’s my expression of gratitude to two colors, without burdening them with an assignment.

Issue 010
A decision's worth lies in the dilemma it defeats. When both options seem equal, but only one pulls at who you are, that's where growth lives. This issue explores beauty in uncertainty and the courage to serve what matters.

May, 2025. 40 pages.
Issue 009
None of us is guaranteed a tomorrow. Yet we obsess over the "Big Win" while overlooking quiet daily triumphs that sustain us. One day you win a sentence. One day you land that chord. A meditation on expectations and finding meaning in life's smallest victories.
