Why The Silence?
I haven’t written for a while. In fact, I haven’t really posted much new work, either. 2019 has been a little overwhelming so far. Between a computer crash, data loss, multiple family illnesses, a car accident, and a demanding job, I’ve had to make sacrifices and really prioritize how I spend my time. I’ve put […]
Group Exhibition
It’s been a while since my last blog update. Sorry about that! I’m writing to let you know about an upcoming group exhibition featuring photographic works from Marilyn Szabo, Andrew Pielage, Peter Brian Klein and yours truly. Although I’ve worked with curator Nicole Royse in the past, this will be my first show in […]
STUCCOLAND! Book Release
I’m very pleased to announce the release of my STUCCOLAND! book. I am excited to see this challenging but rewarding series culminate in a physical format that you can take home! Why? A few people have asked me why I put so much effort into making calendars and books featuring my photographs. Some have even asked […]

That Awkward Moment… When You Don’t Like Your Own Work
So, I’ve had this recurring experience recently: While hanging out with a friend I am asked, “what’s new?” As an artist, my art is always a part of that answer. So, I inevitably include details about my most recent project, STUCCOLAND! I notice a look of polite, but feigned interest settle across my companion’s face, […]

STUCCOLAND!
Changing Course A few months ago I wrote and posted an open letter to my friend, A.G., in which I alluded to a new project I had started working on. This project was born partially out of a desire to start distancing myself from certain aesthetics that have gained immense popularity among photographers over the […]

In December 2017 they moved out of their Esplanade III tower offices and into their three newly renovate floors in Esplanade IV tower. I’m very honored to have a selection of my work included […]
Inspiring Friendship: An Open Letter Response to A.G.
Prelude Making new friendships as an adult is difficult, especially as an introvert. As an adult you just don’t have the kind of time that children do to invest in creating history and familiarity with another person. As challenging as it is for me as an introvert, I highly value making new connections. Through relationships […]

Fish and Bird
Last year, while on a field trip with some students, I made a shot of this cave on my iPhone as it was all I had on me. Last week I was back with another group of students, this time with a camera in tow and a plan to get the shot done right. After […]
Sunrise on the 260
I have often found that the journey is just as important as the destination. This proved once again to be true on my recent trip to Jerome, AZ with fellow photographer and friend Andres Gonzalez. After heading North up the I-17 with a plan to explore the historic copper mining town of Jerome, we caught […]
Goodbye, Portraits
I made a choice this weekend to remove my Portraits portfolio from my website. One of the hardest things to do as a photographer is to edit your own work; to decide which images make the cut. Even though I’ve delved into portraiture in the past, it doesn’t really represent the future direction of […]
