Jackson was my little guy, but I also shared him with everyone. He was a muse to so many artists, with his adorable mug appearing on murals, posters, buttons, totes, T-shirts, and even tattoos.

I was raised with a house full of rescue pups. And I’m convinced that the dogs I thought I rescued have, in reality, saved me in my own darkest hours.

In photography, there’s a niche where art meets altruism. Where the lens captures not just images but the stories and emotions that can change lives.
