I'm Michael Loren. This web site features my photography,  and I post videos on YouTube too.  I'm web content coordinator at my local university and I'm also the general manager of the campus radio station, WRFW-FM. 

Photographers Alec Soth, Stephen Shore, Vivian Maier, Bernd and Hilla Becher, and William Eggleston influence my work. “Photography gets us out of the house,” said Eggleston; sometimes, for me, this is the most important thing.

Shooting from the Hip

Shooting from the hip with my cellphone is my preferred method of "street photography" and a fun pasttime.  (See "Street Photography" below.)  

Monographs

Publishing books is cost prohibitive for me, so I compile PDF monographs of my work. 
"PDF Books" are 2 to 25 megabytes and may take time to display.

It appears I watched a lot of TV in 2024. Compared to 2023, perhaps not as interesting.
