[Written on a plane coming back from my last trip to Liberia]
I saw a monkey. An honest to God chimpanzee.

It looked at me with these big brown eyes as a child would that was curious about the big black camera in my hand. It was wearing some

OK, I know I’m usually behind the game on stuff like this, but I’ve been LOVING textures lately. Not the trying-to-take-a-nap-on-your-grandmothers-couch type of texture, but blending them into photos. There are tons of free image textures out the

Taking my orb for a hike

There’s a few sides to my creative side, well I guess I can’t call it a side…let’s call it my creative orb. In my orb there is a photo section, a musical section, a writing section, a random section, and a video section. Parts of the orb don’t

I wrote this little dissertation about a year ago and read it again recently. It spoke to me and I decided to post it…maybe it will speak to someone else too.

CyberSync radio slaves – Product Review, of sorts…

More of a pre-test pre-review. Being a big fan of wireless slave flashes, I was looking for a cheap alternative to the 180 buck-a-pop pocket wizards. Paul C. Buff in all his alien weirdness continues to put out solid affordable products. Proven

A few months back I did a photo shoot with Wine to Water’s Doc Hendley for an article to be published in Relevant Magazine. I tried to give it that edgy Relevant look that they are into. They ended up liking

The Disposable Me.

Despite what I believe about conservation, saving the earth, and freeing Willy I am a willing participant of a disposable culture. Just today I decided to choose a plastic cup over a glass cup at lunch for the mere convenience that it is bigger a

Good buddy Darren Sheely is working on a photo project in which he photographs intimate portraits of his friends. My turn was up last week,
