I spent Labor Day weekend in Atlanta, Georgia. Just as I did last year...and the year before that...and the year before that. In fact, 2016 marks the seventh year that I've found my way to The Athens of the South. There's a really good reason for that, and it's one of the largest pop culture conventions … Continue reading DragonCon 2016
As a follow-up to my post about Route 66 in Tulsa (which can be found here) I want to highlight other sights in the city that aren't on the route itself, but provide a guide to what else the city of Tulsa has to offer for travelers interested in the city's history and a few cool photography locations. … Continue reading Sights in the City of Tulsa

Winners of the contest will have their photography featured in their rooms and around the property as a part of ongoing renovations to take … Continue reading Photo Contest in Kingman, AZ
This is Part II of my time in Chicago last weekend. If you missed Part I, check it out here. After leaving the lobby hallway of the Monadnock Building, we continued east on Jackson towards my second must-see destination after Lou Mitchell's: Central Camera Company. I'd seen the neon sign on a friend's Instagram feed ages … Continue reading Chicago (part two)
I love visiting Chicago. The first time I set foot in the Windy City, I was re-entering the US after ten months of international exploration. This was February of 2010 and I was welcomed with ice and frigid temperatures. It seems like I typically find myself in Chicago during the winter months & this trip fell … Continue reading Winter in Chicago (I)
There's a quote that says, "We are the sum of all the people we have ever met; you change the tribe and the tribe changes you." I have found that to be accurate. Over the course of the 34 (almost 35, yikes!) years I have walked this earth, I have encountered many people that have had an … Continue reading Traveling Companions
Hello everyone! I had an absolutely amazing year -- looking back over the last twelve months, I was floored at how much I'd seen in my travels. Like I did last year, I assembled a short video (or two!) showcasing some of my favorite photos with commentary. I embedded them below; I hope you enjoy … Continue reading 2015 Photography Year in Review
Hey everyone! I haven't done a whole lot of road-tripping lately, mostly due to the fact I've been preparing for my FIRST exhibition! I'm super excited to have so much of my work in one place AND have the opportunity to talk to folks about it. I printed photos on a variety of formats and … Continue reading Photo Exhibition – 12/5
Last week, a coworker approached me and mentioned that they were looking for some new artwork for the Call Center. He mentioned a few things they were looking for and asked if I had anything that he might be able to present for consideration. A few days later, I was looking at half-a-dozen poster size … Continue reading The River’s Edge
Ever since I became passionate about photography, I've stayed clear of other photographers. I've grouped up with a few of my closest friends, but in general I've shied away from attending any events or mass gatherings. This is partially out of fear, due to a lack of confidence in my abilities, but also out of … Continue reading My First Instameet
