What is the Purpose Here?

Since most of my shooting takes place on-location and since more & more of it is happening further from my home area I wanted to have a place where I could check in to post in a more informal manner.

This site / blog should become more active once I head out to Portland, Oregon in February to shoot the Portland Cello Project project.  I have an increasing number of documentary & commercial shoots that will see me in Portland, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Honolulu and New York in addition to shoots closer to home in Chicago & the Quad Cities.

I am thankful for the opportunities that are made possible by all of my clients!  While my most recent experience with air travel has left me a bit soured to the idea I am quickly “getting over it” in anticipation of what’s on the schedule for 2008.  When I am traveling I will work to update the blog as often as possible.

Indianapolis: PUG

I’m getting ready to head out to visit with my friends in Indianapolis!  We’ll be doing some shooting, learning and having fun doing it!  If I shoot anything interesting I’ll be sure to post it online here.

Lihue, Kaua’i

After a 29 hour layover in Lihue I am home.
If I were to share the details right now I’m afraid that it would be a rant as opposed to a review. I, however, would like to take this opportunity to thank the part-time airline (in Lihue) US Airways for putting me up in fine […]

Honolulu, Hawai’i

A last-minute opportunity came up and I have been enjoying some time in the Aloha State!  It is good to be back home if only for a brief visit.  More soon!  Happy New Year!

Infamy : Honolulu to DC

Perhaps one of these days I’ll take on a project specifically geared toward telling a story about an aspect of December 7, 1941. In a world where September 11, 2001 seems to be losing some of it’s impact I think it is important to remember the original day of infamy. One event is […]

Denver : Thanksgiving

It took close to 13 hours but it was a good drive to Denver, Colorado where I am spending Thanksgiving with family & friends! There was a good snow here last night that has left the area, including the Rockies, covered in white adding a proper accent to what I consider the real kick-off […]

Indianapolis : PUG

I just got back in town from Indianapolis where I hooked up with Kevin Swan and the rest of the group at Janet Payne’s studio! I wasn’t scheduled to make a return visit unti December but I really enjoy the vibe this group has! As a bonus I always come away having learned […]

New York : Review Coming Soon

I was in the city for 10 days and had two very different experiences:
1. As a representative of Pictage working the booth at the Photo Plus Expo in Manhattan.
2. As a freelance photographer working with VII Photo Agency to create a photo documentary in Brooklyn.
I am planning to summarize both legs of my […]

Washington DC : Review Coming Soon

I am finally starting to get into the images I shot during the Fall Tour. One of the places I stopped at for the first time is Washington, DC.
I am working on a presentation and hope to have it posted soon-ish.

New York

Updating the blog has proven to be difficult as I travel!
I spent four days out of wi-fi range which, now that I think of it, really wasn’t all that bad!
After a stop in DC I am in NYC where I will be attending the PhotoPlus Expo. I hope to post some images from the […]
