random sample images, no particular order 









An attempt at creating an archive of life for generations who may come after. Coming from a backround where much history and photos are lost or non-existant. Christian aims to challenge that and leave something to remember and be remembered.  


“SLOW” is a photo book showcasing the documentation of personal life experiences spanning around 3 years.  

Images created in New York, all over California, Pacific North West, CDMX.



This book holds dreams, pain, hope, heartbreak, love, adventure, friends and more.









































MESSAGE TO YOU:

As an independent individual venturing into self-publishing without substantial resources,

I must rely on pre-orders to make this endeavor feasible. This approach allows me to manage costs     
effectively, as I am unable to invest in large print runs upfront due to financial constraints.


In other words due to the fact that I am just a guy, self publishing and not rich; I have to do this on a pre-order basis as I cannot afford to
purchase many copies at once. Thank you for understanding! <3
