It’s moments like these that make me really like sports.


The Best of My 2009

The Best of My 2009

This year hasn’t been too shabby for me.
I edited and published a book. I got my masters degree from Missouri. I placed in CPOY.
I got drunk at Mardi Gras.
Here’s a look back, from Spain to California and all the places in between. If I learned anything this year, it’s never stop looking and don’t [...]


When you fall down…

When you fall down…

I’m back in Wyoming for a few days visiting Jackie, and happened to pick up an assignment for the Casper Star-Tribune (where Jac works as a reporter). We spent most of the day driving through snow-covered plains, and eventually ended up in Lander, Wyo., to do a story about the outdoor ice skating rink there. [...]


Rimrock

Rimrock

Grabbed a beer at Rimrock bar after a rousing (really) school board meeting in Midwest, Wyo. Nothing was on tap, and I didn’t take many pictures because we were too busy talking with the locals.
Wyoming bars = awesome, and full of “Wyoming Character.”

Street Scene

Street Scene

I swear, this is the last image from New Orleans. Unless I go back, then there’ll be more.

Also, on a side note, I discovered another way to distinguish real photographers from wanna-bes…real photographers watch out for semi-trucks while they’re photographing bands in the middle of the road.


Antebellum

The South is starting to grow on me. San Francisco Plantation :: La Place, La.

I went to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Luckily, I still remember when every one of these pictures was taken.

Apparently, the Devil lives here in Missouri…big surprise. Actually, not, it’s just a cave nearby where my friend Phoebe and I went to enjoy the unseasonable 68 degree weather today.


Snow

Lots of it. :: Angel Fire, New Mexico


Thankful

Thankful

Spent the first part of the day at the Caring Center in St. James, Mo. I’m starting a project on how the center is helping people during the economic recession. I went there mostly to make a few contacts and to make a few frames. Today was commodity distribution day, where about 450 families come [...]

Without her

Without her

Working on a story in St. James, Mo., about Megan (on the left) who just lost her best friend, Ksenia, in a car accident. This is something from her first day back at high school after the funeral.

I’m having a really hard time finding ways to visually tell this story. I think her’s is a [...]
