Lucky all the Time is a kind of list, spanning young loves, first deaths, trips to LA, the Ghost Ship fire, the election, from San Francisco and ending in Berlin. I consider myself an obsessive person. I make a lot of lists, horde mementos, repeat myself often. I’m quick to make idols, and even quicker to try and turn someone into a friend. I use these photos to track the network of people who comprise a sort of makeshift family. Lucky all the Time is my way of keeping track — of people, places, attractions, things that cannot and won’t last forever. I’m drawn to people who throw themselves at life, people who don’t know when the performance starts and stops. In every city, I look for people who feel like total individuals, who have a zealous sense of how they want to be in the world, who are equal parts vulnerable and independent, who read luck like a currency.
