A place to put the stuff I make.
I’m Austin. I’m Colorado-based, curious about a lot of things, and I tend to follow creative ideas wherever they lead, often long enough to actually finish them.
A lot of what I make comes from wanting to hold onto and share the parts of life that I find beautiful. A gorgeous place, a ridiculous moment, a person I love, a thought I don't want to lose. I like looking at the world with curiosity, optimism, and a sober eye, then figuring out what I want to make from it. Voz Captures is where I put the results. Travel stories, photographs, journal essays, books, designs built from photos, half-baked ideas that turn into something bigger, and whatever else sounds fun.
Photography started because I wanted something fun to do while I was walking my dog, Sam. I started taking pictures, people seemed to like them, and I started wondering what else I could do with a camera. Before long it had become another excuse to get outside, wander somewhere new, or voluntarily wake up for a sunrise, which was not previously a thing I was known to do.
Writing usually starts because something has been bouncing around in my head long enough that I need somewhere else to put it. Sometimes it's a place I want to remember. Sometimes it's something I'm trying to understand. Sometimes I just think a story is funny and want someone else to hear it.
Mostly, I like making things. This is where they get to end up.

Why Voz Captures?
Voz was my nickname in high school. It was also more or less the family nickname for anyone walking around with the last name Vosler. Conveniently, it means voice in Spanish, which fits pretty well for a site where a lot of the point is finding my own.
Captures leaves things intentionally loose. A photograph can capture a place. A story can capture something that happened. A journal entry can catch a thought before it disappears. An image might turn into a design. One idea might turn into something I had no intention of making when I started.
There will probably be a lot of nature here. There will probably be some Sam. There will almost certainly be projects I haven't thought of yet.
That's the fun part.
