I was reminded of this photograph yesterday when I saw Steve Carty quote Ziggy Marley via Twitter: “Love is the only law to obey. No matter what they say.” I took a short trip to Amsterdam last September with good friend and colleague Patrick Merle to present a collaborative research project, and we peeled away [...]
Since we’re more than 10 days in to the new year, it seems inappropriate to make a post comparing the old with the coming new, doesn’t it? However, I can’t let my belated first post of 2012 go without some due diligence to 2011. Last year was a good year. Good in the sense that [...]
We’re just going through our first real cold spell on the Southern High Plains, and with it we see Fall slowly making its exit and the doldrums of Winter to take its place. That’s not to say that photography during the Winter in West Texas is lacking activity–quite the opposite. The commotion generally just turns [...]
That’s right folks, after some expressed interest toward a workshop centered on pushing your basic understanding of photography and visual storytelling, my good friend Brian Hirschy and I are going to do just that November 5 in Dallas, Texas. What and Why: Foundations workshop is focused on strengthening your abilities to see and create images [...]
I told a good friend the other day that you know the oppressive heat and the longstanding drought in the southwest United States is starting to really become a problem when folks that aren’t start talking about the weather like farmers. These types of things do indeed affect not only the land and fauna, but [...]
Today and tomorrow, one of my best friends and colleagues is being honored and inducted into the Texas Heroes Hall of Honor. Over the past decade, I’ve been able to share some great experiences, take part in some life-changing opportunities, and see quite a bit of dashboard time with Wyman Meinzer, and I can’t say [...]
July is a nice month to reflect on earlier times of the summer. It’s brutally hot, we’ve barely received enough rain to settle the dust in the air, and the wind zaps the energy out of you the moment it picks up. It’s a great time, however, for getting quite a bit of work done [...]
July (well, all winter, spring, and summer) has been an extremely dry period in Texas. It’s so dry that most folks, along with the meteorologists, are saying it’s worse than the Dust Bowl era. I believe it. When I stepped off the plane in Lubbock from my trip to Scotland, the 25+ mile per hour [...]
“For those of us to whom our audience is important, what we’re trying to accomplish stongly involves the experience of the reader.” – David duChemin, A Deeper Frame, 2011 I’m of the mind that at some point in our walks with the camera at our eyes, we start to develop a desire to move beyond [...]
I live in West Texas. It’s flat. So flat that we don’t use parking brakes, which I’ve come to find out is somewhat of a necessity here in Scotland (no, I have not hit anything or anyone with the car except for the curb, ONCE, on my first day of driving on the other side of [...]
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.
