Oh so good…
I just got back from a quick trip to NY and an industry party and every time I am there, NY is oh so good to me. Full of interesting people and strange things at all hours of the night.
Cold and raining is the official weather report here and mother nature really slapped us. The cold rain almost stings with suddeness of Fall. I have been sitting on cool projects I have shot waiting for them to be published so I can post them here and few on my website. I am getting really [...]
Fast + Loud
I made a quick trip home for a few days. While here, I hooked up with some old friends and made a few portraits of them a long with my family. Here is the edit from the shoot.
While I was here, I often thought about how I want to live my life. Would you rather live [...]

Dollar, Dollar, Dollar bills ya’ll
The chase for cash seems to always over shadow the personal persuit of photography. We have to eat dont we? My recent hiatus is just because of that, I have been so busy focusing on jobs that pay and continuing to book paying jobs that I have ignored the blog and other personal ventures. I [...]
Subtlety…

Transmodern
Last weekend I headed downtown to the Transmodern festival going on all weekend long. I spent part of Sunday enjoying the craziness that took over. As I wandered around, it was hard not to notice that the street performers and exhibits turned the area into the closest thing to Alice and Wonderland without me having [...]
Elephants in the city….
On Wednesday, April 1st, the circus, which is in town for the week, brought six elephants up Eutaw street to the historic Lexington Market in Downtown Baltimore to have lunch with Baltimorians. The elephants stood outside the market in front of huge piles of fruits and vegetables. I have to say, they probably ate better [...]
Get up, Stand up…
This week I headed to D.C. to check out an exhibit on legendary performer and musisan, Bob Marley. Marley has been a major influence in my life since I first heard his record when I was in junior high school. David Burnett, an amazing photojournalist, covered Marley’s life in Jamaica and then his 1977 Exodus [...]
