Read/view while listening to Blind Pilot. Yesterday was one of those travel days where everything goes wrong. I should have been westbound on a plane from MKE to LGB that would have had me in before noon with a rental car awaiting me on my arrival. But because I missed my flight it ended up [...]

I have clearly been silent here. In fact, I was shocked to see that the last time I posted was on May 24, 2010. So, for all of June and some few days in May and July, I just haven’t been present in the blogosphere. Some time in the middle of June was the two [...]

New York City is exploding with spring color today. After a busy week this last week trying to get our new apartment in order (long story short, we love our new place)– I’m madly trying to get caught up on work. I was thinking about this blog the other day… and I must admit I [...]

I’m leaving to head back to New York today after a couple shoots here in LA. I’m actually really anxious to get back and get moved (to a new apartment AND new office). I have a few photos from shoots dating back to September of last year that I never posted, so I thought I’d [...]

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 sound, [...]

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. It [...]

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, [...]

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 string [...]

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.

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 down and get [...]

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 the [...]

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 Country Lifestyle Correspondent”) who will report on the cool lifestyle of Sonoma County Wine [...]

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:

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, Ryan, Gloria, Robin [...]

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…

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 ocean water, [...]

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 [...]

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 Westminster), I [...]

I like Dave. Dave likes bikes. See how Dave likes bikes. Dave rides bikes. See how Dave likes bikes he rides. Dave bikes. I like Dave.
