This past week was sucking hard until Thursday night thanks to a wide variety of frustrations, mostly stemming from my chronic impatience. Thankfully I had a gig with one of my musical projects that night as some music therapy was sorely needed. At that gig, during our third set, I noticed a group of dudes [Continue Reading...]
Yesterday I joined several other local lighting enthusiasts at the first St. Louis Strobist Group meetup of 2010. We tend to get together about once every quarter and it’s always a great way to see what other Strobists are doing with lighting. Unfortunately, we were unable to use the very cool warehouse location we’d hoped [Continue Reading...]
Ever since my old band played a show with these fellas back in 2006, I’ve been a huge fan of their tightly written songs and energetic performances. They possess immense talent that belies their youth yet they are affable, modest guys that are clearly having as much as fun as anyone in their rapidly growing [Continue Reading...]
Yesterday I did some promo shots for a new local band called So Much Closer. I know a couple of these guys so it was a pretty casual and fun shoot, as you can see from the outtakes below. I’m doing more and more band portraits these days and I must say that I absolutely [Continue Reading...]
After last night’s gig I had the urge to go shoot some stuff in the dense fog hovering over St. Louis.

She originally started taking classes to provide a creative outlet while I was away at my nightly gigs but her work is good enough to sustain her ongoing passion for it. I was [Continue Reading...]
Free To A Good Band: One Tour Photographer If your band is heading out on the road for 2 to 4 weeks this year and you’d like a photographer to document the adventure and shoot the shows, here is your chance. All I require is a seat in the van and room for a camera [Continue Reading...]
We got our first major snow of the year today so Tracy was the recipient of a rare Snow Day. Still on a Southwestern food kick after last week. I cooked migas for breakfast and she returned the favor by whipping up some killer squash soup for lunchtime. Seizing the opportunity to escape the mundane [Continue Reading...]
Last week’s trip to New Mexico was full of photographic possibilities but since my wife and I were there on a rare vacation, I couldn’t spend every waking moment chasing the light. Well, I could. If I wanted to come home a single man. Which I certainly did not. I can see why so many [Continue Reading...]
