[You can read the rest of this series here.] THE CONCEPT The first several times I read this Rulin I wondered to myself, “What is ‘Rancho’? Or who is ‘Rancho’?”. I assumed Guthrie was referring to his homestead but then again, ‘Rancho’ is a pretty cool name for a dog. Or an iguana. Alas, I [Continue Reading...]
[You can read the rest of this series here.] THE CONCEPT This was the very first photo I completed for this project. In fact, I completed it before I really knew if I was capable of actually pulling any of this off. It was more “proof of concept” than a concept itself. That said, I [Continue Reading...]
[You can read the rest of this series here.] THE CONCEPT This photo is actually a two-fer, combining two of the Rulin’s. Considering that they complement each other perfectly and are listed together in Guthrie’s journal entry, I felt it was appropriate. And the concept is pretty obvious.

THE CONCEPT This was a fun one, and another shoot where I had a very clear concept in mind before we got together. Of course, that changed a bit as things progressed. [Continue Reading...]
Almost everyone that has viewed this image from the project cracks up when they see it. I dig that. Eliciting a response from viewers is one of my fundamental responsibilities as a photographer, and whether that response is laughter, hostility, shock or any other emotion, I have done my job. THE CONCEPT I had a [Continue Reading...]
I like jazz. To me, it’s an elevated art form similar to painting or sculpture–something I know that I will never be able to fully comprehend or master, yet I can appreciate its beauty as an outsider. One particular aspect of jazz that has always fascinated me is the element of improvisation. To watch a [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...]
