Photography by Chad Davis
For years I shared photos to various sites and services only for them to change or disappear all together. I felt it was important to find a place of my own that will live on regardless. This continuously updated archive includes not only my work published elsewhere, but also new work. You'll find photos of life in Minneapolis, my Minneapolis Uprising series, travel photography from Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and more.
I’ve done my best to include accurate location data on photos when possible.
