A bearded man with glasses wearing a black t-shirt that says 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High.' He is smiling and holding a picture of a building with a sign that reads 'Recreation.' Behind him is a wall decorated with sports jerseys, posters, and a TV.

Mike Daugherity

I’m Mike Daugherity — author, self‑published photographer, and lifelong collector of moments. Raised in the Pacific Northwest, I wandered across the United States for years before settling in Los Angeles a decade ago with my wife Elisha and our two sons.

My travels and everyday life inspire my writing, photography, and a line of nostalgia T‑shirts that celebrate the shops, bands, tickets, and places that shaped us. In the coming years I’ll be releasing several books — street photography, photo essays on Los Angeles, fiction, and stories that explore life, love, and loss — plus more shirts honoring the past that made us who we are.

Thanks for visiting — I’m glad you’re here to share the memories.
