I AM MR. GENTLEMAN, A HOST AND A PHOTOGRAPHER, connoisseur of lovely, sturdy and useful things, and past purveyor of fine objects. I pride myself on good manners and impeccable tastes and I adore creating objects of well-crafted beauty as much as finding delight in the materiality and aesthetics of common objects.

From 2013 until 2020, I was the proprietor of an eponymous Social Club, though the club is now inactive. Along with decadent quarterly socials, intimate monthly gatherings, and multi-course formal dinners, all members enjoyed an object or artwork by mail for seven years, concluding finally with the Object Portrait series in 2021. During that time, we were one of the three case studies for Patterns of Transformation: Designing Sex, Death, and Survival in the 21st Century.

If you enjoy helpful instructions, please consider picking up a copy of my Manual for Etiquette, Manners, and Style. It is pleasantly readable on any manner of electronic screens, but in hardcopy it's a lovely compact tome and tucks so very nicely (at four by six inches) into most reasonably sized pockets; and in order for it to be easily accessible, whatever your means, it is priced startlingly low at just five dollars.

If you have some matter of mutual interest about which you wish to discuss I do welcome inquiries via email, my preferred medium. (Though I do still keep and occasionally look at largely idle pages on some other sites.)
