I may be down but I am not out. I am laid up for a bit due to a tibial plateau fracture. My advice? Watch out for charging Labradors - read on!

Street photography! Here are some scenes from Fremont Street in Las Vegas taken October 2021. I think Las Vegas is a good spot for black and white photography because it is so very colorful that the neo can be distracting.

It is refreshing to leave behind the familiar landscape of East Tennessee and play with the Nevada desert. A recent visit to Vegas allowed me some time with a young lady at a ghost town, under a hot sun.

Marisa Mitchell, aka Mars, is a kickass artisan, working in metal, concrete, and glass. I visited her in her metal workshop to do an environmental portrait of this woman handling fire, thus retelling the myth of Prometheus - spolier alert: this time the gods are beaten.

It’s not over until the fat lady sings, and I am the fat lady who believes in closing the show with a finished and polished image. Read more about the skills beyond the camera that a professional photographer should have.

A cinematic study of the nude figure, which I did after seeing this light. I love a good dark and moody shot.

Street photography in New York City. It doesn’t get any better than this for me. I love my hometown - come see it with my eyes.

I crashed a photographer’s shootout in the Old City area of Knoxville and had the opportunity to do some street portraiture. Courtney was a beautiful model for this and got my creative flow going. Check it out.

Bleak House in Knoxville featured a history weekend that gave me the opportunity to capture some environmental portraits of the actors in period dress.  Come back to 1864 in this blog post.

Wedding workshops and styled shoots are fun and good to have - but they are not the end all.  A word to brides about what to look for and to ask.

I am honored and happy to announce that I will be serving on the 2018 Board of Directors for Candoro Marble Arts and Heritage Center.  

If we took photography too seriously, why bother?  I love fun couples and these two are a pair of aces!

While on assignment in Charleston, SC, I went to Folly Beach and met a kite surfer, Nick Ellyn.  So I shot him, just because . . . 

Street photography does not have to be on the literal street.  Sometimes it is on the Atlantic Ocean.

I was happy to oblige when my friend, noted photographer Jill Geisler, called me to ask if I could take some pictures of an adoption.  I got to meet the Burket family and attend a joyous occasion.  Who doesn't love seeing a new addition to the family?

When a picture that is "just a snapshot" is much more and why I choose to provide my wedding clients with the digital files for their images.  A sweet story about why this picture of my children means so much to me.
