So, I was very lucky today, well this morning, and was able to photograph the beautiful Pamela one more time. This time while she was teaching her class at the University of Kansas in Theater Makeup. She actually is a very good teacher and I enjoyed sitting in on her class for the hour that I was able to and see what her students were...

So, I was supposed to do a photo shoot up at the University of Kansas today for their Latino America: 500 Years of History project, something that I have been trying to work on with them, and I was there from noon till five in the afternoon...and not a single person showed up for the shoot.

For the Latino/a collection of photographs, I think I finally have a title for it, which is "Barely Legal". I think that this an appropriate title (even though some people think of the Hustler magazine when I told them the title) but I think it works. The people that I am photographing are people who stereotyped as uneducated, illegal immigrants who are criminals and drug...

So, Yesterday I reshoot my friend Fonz for the MFA thesis, and got these images. It was a fun shoot, was supposed to only be about 45 minutes last night for the shoot, but between a beer and some good 90s alternative rock and talking, the shoot took almost two hours. Oops.
So, I wasn't exactly happy with the shoot that I did of Rolando two weeks ago, because of the glare in his glasses, so I finally was able to sit down with him and reshoot yesterday and get some different looks and to get something that I was really happy with. Thankfully, he also wears contacts and wore those yesterday so we didn't have to...

So, Saturday I was finally back at the Children's Mercy Park (formally known as Sporting Park) in Kansas City, KS, to photograph the first ever game of the new United Soccer League (USL) team the Swope Park Rangers. That was fun. It really was actually. It felt good to get back to the stadium and photograph again. So, without further wait, here are some of...

Okay, so I know you all want more photos...that is what I do best anyway right? So I had a quick photo shoot today, with Noel Ortiz, who is an owner of the local Mexican food joint here in town, for my MFA thesis. However, the guy was about a half hour late...so I started taking a few quick snaps of my friend Jordan as...
