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 [...]
I’ll be honest. Until my good friend, Ryan Voight, alerted me yesterday, I had no idea it was August. True story, and I’m blaming it on the heat. I spent the end of last week riding around one of the big ranches east of Lubbock with another good friend and writer, Stayton Bonner, and it [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Summer is nearly upon us, and even though everyone is slowly getting in to “hot weather” mode, we all know we enjoy the season’s energy. It’s certainly starting to come on in full swing in Malaga, Spain. The coastal city is a popular place for Europeans from the north to visit during the summer months, [...]
This small pasture is right next to the house I grew up in on Meadows Ranch, and with the sun setting, it just simply lights up, glowing gold in stark contrast with the rich blues of the thick layer of clouds the sun happened to sneak under for a minute or two. Although in the [...]
Well, maybe not quite a trucker, but that’s how I feel right now. I’ve responded to several e-mails this morning relating how being a freelance photographer is sometimes similar to driving an 18-wheeler down the highway. In some ways, I’ve always envied long-haul truckers because of the immense amount of country they get to see. [...]
It’s been a busy week, full of shooting, writing, designing, and some great discussions with other photographers, near and afar! I was going through some old images tonight looking for some submit-worthy photographs to go with an assignment, and I came across this image from the Big Bend Ranch State Park near Lajitas, Texas. I [...]
We made it back from South Carolina earlier this week, and it seems all I’ve done was answer e-mails until about this point. You really can’t complain about e-mails as a photographer though. It seems that most contact I have with editors/publishers/other clients is initially through e-mail. It never ceases to amaze me the connectivity [...]
Well, maybe not quite six days (four is more like it), but close enough. In fact, while on the topic of the song that summarizes truck driving in the U.S., Mudcrutch, Tom Petty’s current band does a bang-up job covering the tune on their self-titled album. I had a small delay in posting, mainly because [...]
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.
