I was featured on this weekend's local broadcast of 'Explore Tulsa' where I got the opportunity to talk about my photography and the inspiration behind it. Check it out!

Road Trips and Renewal
Good Morning, 2015. It's good to finally meet you. The last year has been incredible for me. I traveled thousands of miles, shared many warm moments with family and friends, and smiled so frequently that the darker times are greatly diminished in my memory. It's the year I decided that getting married again was something I really … Continue reading Road Trips and Renewal
From Halltown to Commerce
I woke up this morning with an itch to hit the road. This itch had been nagging at me since the middle of last week, when a Facebook friend posted a photo of an old filling station in Webb City, Missouri and mentioned it was going to be restored soon. I'm all for restoration of … Continue reading From Halltown to Commerce
The Proposal
Yesterday, I asked Samantha to marry me. We've been dating for ten months (as of this coming Friday, anyway) and I felt it was time. Never in my life have I felt more simpatico with someone. She supports me, comforts me, encourages me, challenges me, and makes me a better person every day. Not only … Continue reading The Proposal
The Land of Enchantment
After getting a good night's sleep, Sam and I were both ready to tackle Santa Fe. We woke extra early to ensure we'd have enough time to travel the hour north and enjoy the city without feeling rushed. We had breakfast at the hotel (served by the super kind owner) before we hit the road. … Continue reading The Land of Enchantment
[You have gained one level in Wanderlust]
Last week, some changes at work required me to make a change in my schedule from Mon-Fri to Tues-Sat for a little while. I made this decision mid-day Friday, and when I left work that day I was looking at a sudden three day weekend. I had planned to drive down to Okemah, OK on … Continue reading [You have gained one level in Wanderlust]
Through Counties Unknown
This past weekend, I put another six hundred miles on the Mustang's odometer. I told a guy I work with today that I set out because it had "been a few weeks" and I was itching to take a trip. He laughed and remarked that was a completely foreign concept to him. It seems strange, … Continue reading Through Counties Unknown
The Spirit of St. Louis – part two
After spending about eight hours on the road on Friday, I expected to sleep in on Saturday morning. Although I did sleep longer than normal, it still wasn't "sleeping in" by anyone's standards I reckon. Lazy mornings cannot compete with the excitement of a new city. Although we did rise too late to partake in … Continue reading The Spirit of St. Louis – part two
The Spirit of St. Louis – part one
When I had the opportunity to buy tickets to finally see Arcade Fire in concert, I didn't care that I would need to drive. I'd been to Dallas for a concert before (my first arena concert: Foo Fighters on their Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace tour) so another drive wouldn't be a big deal. I … Continue reading The Spirit of St. Louis – part one
33 on 66
On Monday, my 33rd birthday, I had only one 'Big Plan'. I was going to eat lunch at my favorite barbeque place in town: Burn Co. For those unfamiliar with this establishment, it's an extremely popular local restaurant that smokes meat exclusively on Hasty Bake charcoal grills. The food is super tasty and there is … Continue reading 33 on 66
