I went up to Joplin shortly after the F5 ravaged the city to help with clean up but as well, document what happened there. Here are a few shots from the day. Having everything, all the tangible memories that have made up your life, taken from you must be quite the heartache. Please keep the [...]
I picked up a 60′s era TV lens from a flea market for $6 and I mounted it to my Sony Nex. It’s a 25mm f/2 which is a nice perspective on the crop sensor, it adds a vignette and has some serious distortion issues but I still really like the look of the lens. [...]
I was invited to be speak about my work at Chit Chat_4, this is of course their 4th year putting on the show. It was 9 of us artists, sculptors, painters, architects, photographers, videographers…it pretty much ran the gamut in the art community.

This was our third year to send these out and it’s actually starting to gain [...]
The other day while shooting a wedding my Sony Nex with the beutiful Voigtlander 40mm f/2 lens slipped from my hands and smashed to the ground lens first. I just picked it up and kept shooting with my other camera without showing too much concern. Later I looked over the camera and discovered that my [...]
The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave To the dark and the empty skies, my Lola, To the dark and the empty skies. The first time ever I kissed your mouth And felt your heart beat [...]
In Memory of my grandmother, Mary Alice Robertson, this is what I said at her funeral service: Mary Alice Robertson If you could put a face to Kindness and Warmth you’d be looking at Mary Alice. I’ve never known a person that was as welcoming and sincerely kind as my NuNu. From the moment you [...]
