I might be gone from here for a few days. It is nothing to do with you guys or the site or anything. My great-aunt Esther just passed away today, and it took me by a bit of a surprise. I am not going into the details of her death, but let's just say that she lived a long life. She had become almost a

So, in contrast to popular belief, I can take a great portrait shot with a digital camera and know how to use a studio set up. Lol.

Seriously though, on the 13th I taught a workshop on portrait photography, simple tips and helpful hints, and the sample/example photos that I took for the class, well I finally got to today to edit, and they actually...

Yes people, a new photo shoot for the We Are All We Have Tonight collection. This time, it was a fucking trial. Not because of the subject. No, Thad was fantastic to work with, and a great guy. No, this was the first time that I was going to be shooting the majority of the shots indoors, completely away from any natural light. Working with...

It sucks, I am so tired right now, but I cannot go to sleep. Well, first because it is not even 8pm yet, but second, my son's first day of work is today, so I need to stay awake so I can pick him up after he is done, and...well that is about it. But trust me, I really want to go to bed now....

Yeah, I know, it is fucking scary to think about, but the kids finally got some senior photos taken. The only reason why I thought about it today is because of an email his school sent out about needing some photos for their senior slide show.

SO...facing some bitter fucking cold temperatures and even colder wind chills (I shit you not, even the Post Service...

What's he doing after he graduates?
fastboyent:
not 100% sure if he knows.  He went to a Lawrence Job Fair today to see what might spark his interest there, it might be something there or college.  He is thinking about taking a year or two off of school before he goes back to make sure that he is 100% sure he knows what he wants to do

Okay, so I guess I will go ahead and post this. The first new set of 2019. Not the best photos I have done, but it was fucking freezing out. 15*F (or like -9*/-10*C) with a fucking wicked windchill, that made it about -2*F or like -19*C...by a lake, in the snow and ice. Why anyone thought this was going to be a good idea,...

So, I have been asked by a few people what were my top 10 images from the 2018 shoots, which is hard to do since there are actually 34 people that I photographed for the project. HOWEVER, after lot of hours looking, a few whiskey and some wine, I think I may have found my top 10 that IF I were to select for exhibition...

So yeah, just wanted to let everyone know that I am still here and kicking. I have a full schedule of photo shoots booked for the next few weeks to work on the "We Are All We Have Tonight" project, but with the snow storm last weekend and what looks like might be hitting again this weekend, it might be put on hold again (we...

Here is the last image dump of 2018. The last set of images, negatives, last set from last year's taking of the We Are All We Have Tonight collection. Kelly is a pretty amazing person. She really is, and has been making a LOT of patches for me recently for my newest battle vest. She is an amazing person all the way around. I have...

If you're ever in NYC, I'm down. :)

@mariposa sounds great. I haven't been up there since about 2010, and I know a few other people who would want to be a part of this and that I need to visit, so maybe this summer I can try and schedule a trip.  I will let you know.

So yeah...I am doing a personal blog here, as a shout out to myself for this past year. I actually have felt like, now looking back on everything, that I have done a lot over the past year. Not only have I been able to get shit done work wise (regardless if I have found a full time teaching position at a university or not),...

So, I know that with the end of the year coming up, I am far behind on the images that I have shared on here, and I am sorry. I have a TON still to post (okay, not a ton, but at least two more shoots that I have already developed and edited, with another set that I am developing TODAY). So I will try...
