My name is Martin. I’m a photographer and writer portraying people, places, and horses - still, I’m nothing but a notekeeper, doing my best to keep up with the constant stream of stories untold.

I own the production company Smith Jones and founded the Shearwater Chronicles at Medium. I drink too much coffee, eat fish from a can, and appreciate solitude but fear death. I’ve performed in crowded venues and before empty seats, stumbled through mistakes and friendships, and sold art to a man I never met.

I find time to be my greatest tool; everything else is merely a choice of weaponry. PEOPLE, MAKERS, and HORSES need different time for different reasons, and if you dare to add time to any vast open LANDSCAPES & PLACES, you will hear them tell you the most vivid tales.

Because there’s a story in everything, and I’m just trying to keep up. Like a restless daydreamer carving his mark to let God know we exist. The one who has a dog but no secrets - and has never told a lie.
