EDITION 001 · SEPTEMBER 15, 2026
A Million Scattered Pieces is the part that talks.
I’ve never made a newsletter before. I’ve also never formally introduced Lemon Juice 🍋—my visual research and design practice—or the growing collection of websites and projects around it. Apparently, putting work online and explaining what it is are two separate jobs.
A Million Scattered Pieces is the newsletter moving between those sites and projects, introducing the practice, and beginning to explain what they have to do with one another.
Edition 001 brings together photographs, writing, listening, research, friendship, and some of the unfinished things surrounding the work. It opens a few doors onto artist archives, pet portraits, vampires, websites built with and for other people, a falling-cat game in development, and public-minded research using new tools—including AI—to look more closely at what is already around us.
There are other doors, but we don’t need to open all of them today.
Work can be public before it becomes neat.

AN INVITATION
Welcome to the beginning of
A Million Scattered Pieces.
Welcome - to A Million Scattered Pieces.
This publication is an ongoing home for photography, writing, music, visual research, and the small observations that often become the beginning of larger ideas. Some editions will be quiet and personal. Others will explore design, collaboration, technology, archives, neighborhoods, or the creative process. Together, they form a growing collection of connected pieces rather than a single story.
The title comes from a simple belief: meaning is rarely found all at once. It emerges through returning, noticing, and allowing seemingly unrelated fragments to reveal their relationships over time. This newsletter is an invitation into that practice.
Edition 000 is exactly that—an invitation. Before introducing Lemon Juice in depth, I wanted to create a place to pause, share a few photographs from Maine, and begin establishing the rhythm of this publication. Think of it as the front porch before stepping inside the studio.
What to Expect
Future editions may include:
Photography & visual essaysNotes from ongoing researchDesign & Creative processCollaborations & ConversationsReflections on technology & AINeighborhood observations & field notes/map projectsBooks, artists, and ideas worth sharingOccasional experiments that don't fit neatly anywhere else
There is no strict formula, only a commitment to publishing thoughtfully and with care.
While Making This
Every edition will be accompanied by a curated playlist.
Music has always been part of how I work—shaping pace, atmosphere, and attention while photographs are edited, notes are written, or ideas slowly take form. Rather than serving as a soundtrack after the fact, these playlists are companions to the work itself. I hope they offer another way to enter the same landscape from a different direction.
Looking Ahead
Edition 001 will formally introduce Lemon Juice: the ideas that shaped the practice, the values that guide it, the role photography, design, and research play within it, and why I believe careful observation remains one of our most valuable creative tools. It will also share how this publication fits into that larger vision and invite readers into the work that follows.
Thank you for being here at the beginning. I'm grateful you've chosen to spend a little time among these scattered pieces, and I hope you'll return as the collection continues to grow.
Think of Substack as the mailbox. The work lives here; Substack simply delivers each edition.
