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 [...]
Big pimpin’ on N.Y.E.
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.
How I’ll probably end up making a living
An outtake from a portrait shoot with a kid from MU who owns three — yes three — companies.
Don’t Wig Out
Multimedia of the complete absurdness of that night is soon to follow. Check back soon.
Creepster
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.
Man of Peace
A quick portrait from a peace vigil today downtown, commemorating the 4,000th American casualty in Iraq.
John Schuder has been protesting war since the 1930s, and didn’t fight in World War II because of his beliefs. Interesting to find someone from that generation who didn’t fight.
Standing proud :: Columbia, Mo.
Night Shift
I met Iceiss tonight at the Regency Hotel in Columbia.
…best conversation I’ve had in awhile.
Also, a special shout-out to Amanda Stokes Lucier for letting me borrow her sweet D3. She may not get it back.
Libertarian
He’s not hiding it.
An outtake from an assignment at a Ron Paul campaign meeting in Columbia.
Coach
I promise I won’t only shoot basketball while working at the Missourian, but apparently that’s what’s been going on lately.
Anyways, the Baylor women’s coach, Kim Mulkey, recorded her 200th career victory tonight after No. 6 Baylor beat Missouri, 72-57. She’s the sixth-fastest coach to record 200 wins, reaching it after 254 games.

Ready for the Close-up
Caught this one last night while shooting a Christmas festival in downtown Columbia.
Heather Thorgard, as Mother Ginger from “The Nutcracker” :: Columbia, Mo.
Randolph
Found this one while digging through some old stuff earlier today.
Robert Randolph :: 2006, Lawrence, Kan.
In a retro mood
I shot some more portraits for my friend, Jennifer, last night. This one seemed kinda retro to me. Maybe the color?
Either way, I can’t take all the credit, she’s a great model.
The more and more I do it, the more and more I’m a fan of the studio. That’s not all I want to do, [...]
Laughing man
Alex :: Columbia, Mo.
Shot this for my studio class. Never really worked in a studio before…
But I could get used to it.
