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 [...]

I’ve never seen so many people try to take pictures of this guy. He was definitely the best-dressed person in Kansas City last night.

The West really is one of the most beautiful places around. Wide-open, good light, and heck, even the people are pretty nice. Some other highlights from my trip to Casper, Wyo.:
• I bought a pair of cowboy boots from a local store that’s been around since 1919. The salesman helped me get the right fit [...]

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.”

It must be winter in Iowa. On my way to Wyoming for a few days to breathe the fresh mountain air.

Probably one of the most ridiculous weekends I’ve had in a while.
So awesome. What I remember, anyway.

So…it’s my first post in awhile; probably because I just finished moving, started a new job and really haven’t got off my butt to shoot anything lately.
Anyway, Douglass Park – Take 1:
I’ve taken ones like this before, but I like this one best.

Am I really that bad? Are women really that repulsed by me? No, I just think they were all just sick of me playing with my new D3.

I just finished one of the best days I’ve ever had as a photographer. I didn’t shoot anything amazing, but I connected with a stranger and my peers.
I want more. This is why I came here. To feel that connection, to know that I did something worthwhile today. Something that I can feel good about, [...]

This is what happens when I have a D3 and two hours to kill on a flight from St. Louis to San Antonio:
Please leave your tray table in the upright, locked position during take-off…
All flights are non-smoking, so don’t do it, even though air travel these days will turn anyone into a chain smoker…
We’ll offer [...]
