It’s that time of year again, when cotton starts to develop in to what most of us visualize when you mention the crop. Lubbock is central to the greatest amount of cotton production in the U.S., let alone one of the most agriculturally-driven areas in the world. My first internship was with Plains Cotton Cooperative Association, the largest cotton marketing institution in the world. I wet my feet in publications and communications there by writing and designing for their magazine, The Commentator. This internship definitely spurred my interest in other publications, as well as documenting more and more the richly-diverse agricultural environment we have in West Texas!

I'm an editorial and natural history photographer based out of Lubbock, Texas, as well as a photography instructor at Texas Tech University. My work primarily focuses on features and environmental portraits for magazines, books, and commercial purposes, and I'm available for both domestic and international travel.
I'm a regular contributor to the Manfrotto School of Xcellence, an educational resource for amateurs and professionals alike. I'm also a partner and editor for Badlands Design and Production, a publishing house that focuses on high-end coffee table photography books.
Jarod, this is a great picture. My niece Kristi Jordan works for PCCA and says she knows you. I have met you twice. Once just this last Saturday night at a wedding you played for in Snyder at the Ranch. My interest in photography, publications and communications also stems from a job that pushed me that direction. I am now doing publications and advertising for Western Texas College.
Just thought it was interesting how we were connected in a few ways. The whole six degrees thing.
Hope to see you October 2nd in Snyder.
