The Pearl of the West Indies: Images from the recent earthquake in Haiti

I’ve finally finished my photos and slideshow from my trip to Haiti, thanks to “Soundslides,” which is a powerful program for documentary photographers who want to share their work with the world. Click on the link below which will take you to the slideshow and then you can watch it full screen, toggle the [...]

Home again
Home again

I had the privilege of going to the town I was born in, Fort Wayne, IN, for a few days over the holiday. I was able to see so many friends that I rarely am able to hang out with any more.
While I was home the weather was nothing but snowy and cold. [...]

We need your help...

I’ve been working on a side project for the last 6 months that is now finally (beginning) to come to fruition.  After 1 photo shoot and a very brief video shoot, I’m moving forward with an international “blogumentary” project entitled “Shake The Dust.”  The documentary, which will ideally be shared in the form of videos, [...]

Pelz time.
Pelz time.

Seven days in Long Beach. It’s been a whirlwind tour, honestly. It’s been so good to see so many of the people that I love.
Among the people that I’ve been able to hang out with here, I’ve spent 48 straight hours with Holly and Nate Pelz. It was, as always, great. Here’s a [...]

BBQ.
BBQ.

Well, it was the last one of the summer… but at least I made it to one of Vic’s BBQs  before the leaves changed.  Not all of these pictures are mine.  The camera was passed around a bit.

Friends in town…
Friends in town...

Those of you that live in New York know that a big part of living here is entertaining the many friends and relatives that visit from around the globe every year. Don’t get me wrong– I’m not complaining. I love it. But sometimes it becomes a challenge to know when to sit [...]

After a great week completely off of work (I literally only pulled my camera out for one day all of last week), I have a billion photo shoots to catch up on. And because New York City (as wonderful as it is) is filled with a million tiny distractions, I’m prolonging my time in [...]

Top 50 of 1,993.  Now I need your help.

Well for those of you who didn’t know this, I applied for a job in Sonoma county at a winery called Murphy-Goode.  The job description is simple:
“We want to hire a social media whiz (your title will be “Murphy-Goode Wine [...]

NOT TODAY.

I wish that it was my full time job being a groomsman in a wedding with my good friend Josh Hause. My stomach hurts from laughing these last few days. A taste of my week:

Introducing the Scott Family…
Introducing the Scott Family...

When I was a freshman in college six years ago, I had a second family. I would go visit them on the weekends and pass the turkey with them on holidays. That family was the Scott family– and there were ten (count them) TEN of them. Brandon, Angela, Stephen, Daniel, Aaron, Christina, [...]

Well, I can’t give you any actual shots from the shoot yet, but here’s some behind-the-scenes shots.  More to come tomorrow or the next day…

Cocoa Beach, Florida.
Cocoa Beach, Florida.

While I was in Orlando this past week, my friends Todd and Wes from Indiana just happened to be in town. Todd had to take off Monday morning, but Wes and I managed to get a little mini-road trip in to the Florida coast. We had a great day swimming in the warm [...]

Tonight Jon arrives in New York City, the land of opportunity, to begin a new phase of his life.  I can’t say how excited I am for him to be living here in the city.  The only thing that would make it better would be to have Josh here.  But alas, I’ll have to wait [...]

A few days in Phoenix...

So in the midst of a month of unexpected twists and turns, I took a four day trip to Phoenix. In the name of sparing travel expenses, I used gotobus.com to find a cheap bus there from the Los Angeles area. When I arrived at the bus station (aka the ABC Supermarket in [...]

Well, I’m coming to the end of the posts from 2 weekends ago but I still have 14 different posts to edit from these last 2 weeks. Here are some shots of one of my favorite families, the S.D.s. I absolutely love ‘em and I feel like these pictures do a pretty good [...]

Faces break the coast.
Faces break the coast.

I have been gone for 5 days now. I’m sorry for that. But it was a nice little break from the world. I was up in the Santa Cruz mountains with no cell phone, e-mail or internet for a couple days. Hence the limited (or non-existent) posting. Now I’m back [...]

Friday night.
Friday night.

I don’t know if it’s daylight savings or how unbelievably BUSY my weekend was, but I could NOT get up this morning.  It was like I was weighed down on all limbs with rocks.  But here I am, sucking down coffee that’s black as night, rain slapping my window, drearily getting work done.  Here’s some [...]

Taking a walk through the village.

I did a serendipitous photo shoot today with my friend Desiree here in my neighborhood.  It wasn’t very planned and we only shot for just under and hour, but I think the resulting shots have got me pumped to do another shoot of this nature (and title) in the future.  Maybe as soon as spring [...]
