Detroit Native based in Minnesota. A love letter to food I love, places I've been, and projects that I am working on.

This is the view from my front door here in Saint Paul on 12/29/25. Fortunate enough to be out before 7am today, shoveling out our building and the building next door. Yesterday went from relatively warm to bitter cold, so the ice and snow are really throwing a lot of light.

I'm Joshua. I live in Saint Paul, Minnesota with my wife Anna and cat Squishy. I work as a business intelligence analyst for a software development company based in the Twin Cities. I shoot photographs on a Canon 6D, cook what I hope people will love, and spend more time than I probably should distracted by my hobbies. My writing on technology and design has been published in the Minnesota Star Tribune.

I grew up in Harper Woods, Michigan — a two-square-mile town just outside Detroit — with my mom and my brother. It was small, ordinary, weird, close and everything to me. I miss it every day. That sense of place, of knowing exactly where you are and who you belong to, still shapes how I live in the world.

This site is a slow-building collection of photographs, recipes, and short reflections. It isn't a portfolio and it isn't a brand. It's personal, imperfect, and always in progress — a place to leave notes, make things carefully, and pay attention to what tends to last.

I'm interested in work that feels honest. In places that don't need to announce themselves. In the quiet satisfaction of making something with care and letting it speak for itself.
