From 2007 to 2012 he wrote the 5B4 Photography and Books blog, discussing and reviewing photography and art-related books. He was a member of the In-Public street photography collective.[2][3][4]
Ladd's street photography was included in 10 – 10 Years of In-Public, published by Nick Turpin in 2010. His book The Awful German Language (2020) contains "lists of interesting German vocabulary words which he juxtaposes next to his black and white photographs".[5] His book, A Field Measure Survey of America Architecture (2021), according to Kyra Ho writing in the Financial Times, contains photographs of houses from the Historic American Buildings Survey's archive of buildings of the 19th- and 20th-century United States, following the Mason–Dixon line, "to create a documentary-style architectural portrait".[6]
Since 2011 he has lived in Cologne, Germany.[5][6]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
