I’ve just received news that I’ve been awarded NINE, yes nine, Honorable Mentions in this year’s International Photography Awards. This contest is one of the most prestigious, and the winning images are always of the highest caliber, so having my work mentioned among them is indeed an honor. The panel of judges included representatives from...

Just Like Old Times
I’ve just returned from an incredible time in Santa Fe, where I spent a week learning new skills, spending time with outstanding people, and doing things I never thought I’d do. I’ve been learning a unique photographic process that I have come to absolutely love, and I’m thankful to my teachers and fellow students for...
Desert Sculpture
Many of us love to travel long distances to see the amazing things of the world and yet rarely take the same time to appreciate what’s right around us, and well, I’m no different. But Arizona has more than its fair share of mind-blowing landscapes and natural wonders, so last week I took a trip...
Into the Fire
Over the weekend, a friend and I set out on a two-day road trip to visit some of Northern Arizona’s natural wonders. We needed some time away from the city, so we headed out to see one of the slot canyons near the Utah border. We knew we would be in for stunning landscapes and...
Unseen
There’s a central theme in my mind that drives much of my more artsy work: the unseen.
I started an abstract project a few months ago based on this concept, and this is part two of that project. This is probably going to be something that I continue to develop, but I thought I’d bring you...
360
Over the long weekend, I spent several days at the family “ranch.” Things are different every time I go there, so I’ve decided to do a series of 360 degree panoramas on the progress of the place. It will be a long-term thing, of course, but I added a couple images to the archive this...
It’s Go Time!
Okay, I’ve been talking about it for months. Visual peacemaking, that is. And now… big news. The International Guild of Visual Peacemakers is launching our official website! While the last-minute bugs are still being worked out, I’ve gotten a sneak peak at the site and have been having fun poking around. And I gotta say…...
Preemptive Love: Au Naturale
And now for the second of my two Preemptive Love photo shoots from last week. This time: the Nature set.
And um… yes, that’s me in the photos. What can I say? I’ve been doing these shoots for Preemptive Love, and the light outside on this particular day was so incredible that I HAD to photograph....
Preemptive Love: Urban
This week I’ve been working on two more photo shoots for Preemptive Love, this time photographing not only the Klash shoes, but also some T-shirts and scarves – all pretty awesome products, if I do say so myself. By the way, if you actually want to buy any of these products, either because you want...
