Last Life!
Hey everyone!
It has been a while since I last posted but I have been on the East Coast for a while and had limited internet access. I have so many things from the summer that I haven't had a chance to post yet so keep an eye out for them. The pictures below are a series of promo shots that I did for a friend's musical solo-project. You can find them here:
http://www.myspace.com/lastlifelives
They were so much fun to shoot! Ryan, the creator behind Last Life!, is a very talented musician and artist. I encourage you to keep your eyes on what he is doing. He was bassist for the band Molly Ringwald, which has put out some great tunes. You can download their newest album for free here:

Ryan did the artwork for the album. Sketched and then edited in Photoshop.
The first photo below is a shot I took while driving out to meet Ryan for the shoot. I had to pull over to the nearest gravel road and get this one! Enjoy!

Illinois SPROG 2009
There is so much that I could say about my week at Pierre Marquette State Park with all the amazing Midwesterner's who attended, but I am going to try and summarize this for you in 5 words...
Inspiring
Empowering
Amazing
Changing
Real
These 5 words summarize the summer program held by the Sierra Student Coalition (www.ssc.org) but come nothing close to really decsribing the magic of these events. It is one of many held throughout the USA during the summer months, teaching, empowering, and inspiring youth to make real concrete changes in peoples lives. Amazing, Amazing, Amazing. Sign up for next years trainings when it gets closer to the summer. Maybe I will post a blog entry when you can start signing up. I highly encourage it! IT WILL CHANGE YOU ;)
These were a few random favorites from the bunch but you can see the rest on my Facebook page: CLICK HERE

IM BACK!!!
Hey ya'll! I'm back!!!
I have been in Southern Illinois helping at a Sierra Student Coalition (SSC) summer training program. There are some really great things going on right now across the country and some absolutely inspiring people to go along with them! I will post some pictures from that event once I get them done. I am just completely backed up with photos right now. I still have Carolina Liar photos from I can't remember how long ago, some wedding shots, and the SSC photos. Plus I am shooting a friends band tomorrow too :/ I see a lot of editing in my future!
I will be posting them as they are completed; here are a few of a friend I took before I left for Southern Illinois. Check back soon for more!

Happy 4th of July!
Happy 4th Everyone!!
I do have photos from the Hoola-hoop gang below but seeing how it was the 4th, I just wanted to take a moment to remember Jason Pautsch of Davenport Iowa.
R.I.P.
Ames hoola-hoop gang...RARE PHOTOS!!!!
So, let me set the scene for you: I just got off of work. It was about 5pm and the sun was coming down beautifully behind this little ally way. I knew I had to take advantage of it so I went home and grabbed my camera and headed back to the location. I went ahead and snapped several shots of the foliage, shown below:
Next thing I know, out of know where comes the Ames hoola-hoop gang!! You know, its one of those things that you always hear about, but you don't really believe until you see for yourself. I was stunned. I didn't know what to do...run? No, I stood my ground and tried to pretend like I didn't notice them. After several minutes of building up courage, I slowly pointed my camera in their direction and snapped a few shots.
I was really suspecting them to react negatively. I had heard stories of what they have done to photojournalists from the Ames Tribune, and I was not looking to be be another number. The whole time I was coming up with a plan B in my head: escape routes, directions, etc. Yet, they seemed to warm up to the camera. I don't know what it was...my innocence perhaps...no ones heard from them in a while, maybe they saw me as a tool for getting their name out...
They allowed me, with an aura of tension, to follow them around the back alley and meet some of the other members...
...ferocious...
I stopped to change my lens and next thing I know they were gone. This is the last shot I got of them.
It was an experience I will never forget.
