Just spoke to my buddy Brian Bastinelli a few days ago about our annual pilgrimage to Montana and Glacier National Park. This post never made it out of Draft for some reason but these are some fun shots from one of our trips a few years back. Hard to believe there is still snow on…
Ran across this video about Doug Menuez. Thought some of you may enjoy and be inspired by it as well. The piece is simultaneously sobering and inspiring. Very interesting perspective from a fabulous photographer operating in arguably the world’s toughest market. Enjoy! Click HERE for the video.
Here’s a behind the scenes look at a really fun shoot with Knoxville’s very own Salon Visage, one of the top salons in the country. This was a Fall Collection shoot showcasing five different cuts and colors for the season. Salon Visage’s creative team created all of the looks. The photographic direction was a true…
Here’s a little behind the scenes look at my recent Location People workshop which was held this Fall in Knoxville, TN! We had a baker’s dozen of 13 attendees from all over the country. Truly an amazing group. I can not begin to tell you how much work and how many people it takes to…
I recently returned from what is quickly becoming one of my favorite annual excursions . . . my trip to the visit my friend Brian Bastinelli in the breathtaking Big Sky country of Montana. Brian has long family ties to the Choteau area. Visiting with him and his family there is a social, cultural, and…
Hey everyone! Here’s a little behind the scenes video from a recent wedding that I thought you might enjoy. The video is intended for potential clients to get an idea of my approach and my work by seeing me in action at a real wedding. Many thanks to Brooke and Mark who were gracious enough…
OK. I just had to post this. I’ve been playing around a lot lately with dSLR video and thinking of fusion concepts, etc. to work into my service offerings. Also, I just love telling stories with my imagery. Well, let’s just say storytelling with a still frame vs. storytelling with motion video is an entirely…
I saw a lot of amazing work and met a ton of incredible people at WPPI again this year. By far, one of the most moving things I saw there (and have seen in quite some time for that matter) is this album by Dawn Shields. I’ll just embed the video and you can experience…
My good friend and fellow shooter, Jamie Abart, recently produced some behind the scenes videos and interviews from my Location People Workshop which was held in Knoxville, TN last Fall. Jamie along with his brother Jerit and several volunteer crew members, followed us through the 5 day workshop experience and really captured the experiential and…
I awoke this morning to a very sad message from my friend Sandi. She had FaceBook’d me to tell me that legendary photographer Charles Moore had passed away. His iconic civil rights images which were published in newspapers and ultimately LIFE magazine and are justly credited with playing a major role in raising the national…
Hey Everyone. I have fallen behind pace on my 30/30 Blog Blitz. Note that I committed to 30 posts in 30 days but not necessarily a post for 30 consecutive days! So, I’m still alive but I’ve gotta make up some ground. I’m going to publish a number of posts today off of my backlog…
Today’s post will showcase some more images from my trip to Montana with Brian Bastinelli. Everyone knows I love to photograph people and with Brian serving as my sole companion for much of the trip . . . well let’s just say he became my default subject much of the time. Also, I’m experimenting with…

Just wanted to point folks to a great read and challenging concept to ponder. The Myth of Talent is a work written by an incredible photographer and my dear friend and mentor Craig Tanner. It’s a take on where greatness comes from aas realized through his own life experiences. I encourage you to read the references…
Quite an interesting take by Zack Arias in this edition of Scott Kelby’s Photoshop Insider Blog. Hang through the opening bit. This is not a joke piece. Zack gives a candid self assessment of his annual photographic life cycle challenge and some insight into the relative value of our pursuits in the grand scheme. A bit depressing…
