About beyond our frames

Two people, two points of view, and one place to keep the stories that photographs begin.

Photography has always been my way of holding on to places and moments that pass too quickly. Wildlife, long roads and the stories around a photograph keep pulling me back. Beyond Our Frames is where those photographs can keep the part that usually gets left outside the frame: the journey, the memory and why the moment mattered.

Curious mind · Daughter · Co-creator

Riddhi is where this story unexpectedly began. A school project became Frame & Give, and that small idea gave us the reason to build something together. What started as a fundraiser opened the door to a place for photographs, journeys and the stories we want to remember.

the beginning

How Beyond Our Frames was born

Beyond Our Frames started unexpectedly. What was meant to be a small photography fundraiser for my daughter's school project became the reason I finally built a place I had wanted for years: somewhere to keep the photographs, journeys and stories that usually disappear into hard drives and social feeds. This is a personal archive in the making. Some entries will be long travel stories, some will be photographs with the moments behind them, and some will simply be notes from the road.

chapter one · Frame & Give

Frame & Give is where Beyond Our Frames began. What started as a small fundraiser for my daughter's school project gave me the push to finally build this website. The project remains here as its first chapter: photographs offered to support a cause, with the story of what we raise kept in the open.
