For those of you unaware, the folk hero/musician/activist Woody Guthrie would have been 100 years old this year. There are tons of celebrations and centennial tributes taking place throughout the world, but one local tribute caught my attention at the beginning of this year. It also spawned a tribute project of my own. A local [Continue Reading...]
For this episode of the series, I opted to literally shoot the shooter while he worked. Jay Fram was shooting a series of images for a local university and invited me along to shadow him on a pair of setups on the same afternoon. While the weather was less than optimal (read: pissing rain, blustery [Continue Reading...]
For this, my 200th post on this blog (how the hell did that happen), I am ashamed to do that lame-ass thing where bloggers make a post about how busy they have been and apologize for not making regular updates lately. I hate that. Plus, all the blogging gurus (and LORD there are a lot [Continue Reading...]
This should go without saying, but it behooves me to do the best possible work on every single project I shoot. The client hires you, then you should bust your ass to knock it out of the park so that they feel they got what they paid for, right? Duh. But the larger picture, the [Continue Reading...]

Ok. Let’s just pause for a sec and consider the greatness of this band’s moniker. Seriously. Take it all in. Now, ask yourself, “what are the chances that this is anything but an eight-piece funk band?”. Nil, pal. Absolutely nil. My buddies Ryan and Ryan at R&R Music Labs invited me to the band’s recording [Continue Reading...]
Like oysters, every photo assignment has a silver lining. And after shooting this feature for Feast Magazine, on newsstands this week, I have some pearls of wisdom to offer. Ugh. Those are the worst puns ever. Don’t Be Shellfish, It’s A Team Effort But seriously folks, this was a uniquely challenging shoot due to both [Continue Reading...]
Here’s one for the ladies. Some more work for the folks at MUS. These are the fun shots we get to do after a grueling day of catalog photos on a static set. And after 6 or so hours scrutinizing each image on the monitor, telling the merchandiser where to adjust the garments, and generally [Continue Reading...]
This recipe is attributed to my grandma, but I’m pretty sure it can be found on almost every package of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. Not to diminish mamaw’s culinary reputation, mind you, but it’s not exactly a revelatory recipe. It’s still yummy though. In any case, it’s a ridiculously easy dish to prepare.
