Phil Wasson at the State College, PA trails. Ever since I was 15 I wanted to visit Woodward. To say that waiting 14 years takes patience would be an understatement. Props to Dennis McCoy for making the trip happen. He’s a bad ass for sure. And, I still owe him money for the rental car, [...]

Time Lapse Experiment
If you live in the midwest like I do, you likely experienced 40 to 50 mph winds today. I headed out the Haskell-Baker Wetlands south of Lawrence, Kansas to capture the gusty afternoon sky. The result is 30 minutes of real time compressed into a 90 second time-lapse containing 900 photos. Watch the time-lapse on [...]

Halloween portraits
I shot a series of portraits on Halloween using both ambient and studio lights. The top photo was lit with one 800 watt head, diffused by a large Chimera softbox at camera left. The bottom photo was lit by a red neon light mounted to the ceiling of a shed.

KC Overpass
Exactly 10 years ago this year, I purchased a Mongoose DMC bmx frame after seeing it a magazine advertisement. I passed many riding milestones on that bike, including my first 360, first decade and first broken bone due to riding. I loved the frame, but as I started riding trails more, I retired the frame [...]
