172 moments.
And counting.

Ordinary days, great days, odd projects and moments that might otherwise disappear down a feed.

More than a feed.
A life, in layers.

The permanent archive stretches back to July 2013. New Instagram entries join it during periodic archive updates, keeping a dated copy beyond the live feed.
