New Orleans Entertainers

New Orleans Entertainers

When I first found out I would be going to shoot in New Orleans, I was…well…less than thrilled. I’d never been there but my vision of New Orleans had been tainted by Mardi Gras stories. That’s just not my kinda thing. A very important lesson was reinforced, don’t make a judgment on something unless you’ve [...]


Cec and I Goofing Around

Cec and I Goofing Around

We were down in the basement being silly, taking some deadpan family photos.  Cec was totally in the moment, had her game face on, I set the camera timer too short and as you can see, didn’t make it to the couch in time.  A happy accident, I think this shot turned out pretty funny.  [...]


Wacker Drive

Wacker Drive

During the past three and a half years, I’ve been luck to be on assignment in Chicago several times. One of the things I love to do while I am there is walk around the Loop. The architecture is absolutely stunning. Walking along Wacker Drive, following the Chicago river is walk that never gets boring [...]


Tourist in Rocky Mountain National Park

I was in Rocky Mountain National Park doing a shoot for the Colorado Tourism Office. The assignment was to get a shot of Skylar Johnson, a local Bagpiper and long time resident of Estes Park. Skylar was being interviewed for the Colorado State Vacation guide and Colorado.com. We did a couple different scenarios in the [...]


A Walk Along the Rhein River

A Walk Along the Rhein River

Every other year my family goes on vacation to Germany to visit my mom’s side of the family. They live in a town called Ketsch, which is right on Rhein River. We have a few must do’s every time we go… we walk along the river, we visit Heidelberg Castle, we spend a day at [...]


Group Trip to Telluride

Group Trip to Telluride

Telluride is one of the most gorgeous mountain towns in Colorado. Highly recommend it as a vacations spot, especially if you like to hike. The San Juan mountains are arguably the most picturesque in Colorado.


Behind the Scenes at Second City

Behind the Scenes at Second City

One of the great things about being a photographer is that on occasion I get access to some pretty interesting stuff. While on a shoot in Chicago, I got to spend a couple hours shooting pre-show behind the scenes of a Second City performance. It was great to see comedic genius in action. The cast [...]


A Sketch by Cec

A Sketch by Cec

Drawn by my partner, Cecilia. Yes I really am bow-legged but I do have more than three fingers on each hand and I’m generally not out and about in the nude. Oh, also, my hair is longer now. In my college days, I was once running across campus in a blizzard and was clearly identifiable [...]


Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Two weeks in Thailand, one week in Cambodia = 51 hours spent on planes/in airports, 37 hours spent on trains, didn’t bother to track how much time spent in taxis and tuk tuks. Oh how I love to travel…seriously.


Scene on the Streets of Bangkok

Scene on the Streets of Bangkok

Scene…get it. Another double entendre. These are a few of the people we encountered while trying to find our way around the hectic city.
