Last Friday, I had my last shift at the Columbia Daily Tribune. I’ll admit, it was bittersweet and hard to finally drive out out of Columbia Sunday morning. I lived there just over four years, made amazing friends, and saw most of them move on. On the long drive to Wyoming (where I live now, [...]
I have no idea why I thought of my good friend Ryan Henriksen while taking/editing this image, but I did. Wish there was more separation, but I just love that jumping kid.
I had to shoot a portrait today of Michael Wilson, a local viola player, for our arts section. I had originally planned to use two lights, but I ended up forgetting them and just had the one I usually keep in my bag. Probably for the best.
Last weekend, Columbia dedicated a memorial to a 1923 lynching victim, James T. Scott. I wasn’t really sure what to expect or how big this event would be, but my expectations immediately went up when I saw a band gathering outside the Second Missionary Baptist Church where the ceremony was. Once I saw the band, [...]
In ten months here at the Tribune, I’ve shot more sports than I even imagined. Don’t get me wrong – I love sports, but sometimes it can feel like I’ve been shooting the same thing over and over again and it’s a challenge to see something different or in a new way. I try to [...]

I always hate shooting golf; it reminds me how much I’d rather be playing. Missouri’s Hannah Lovelock walks back to her ball after surveying the green as spectators watch near the 18th hole during [...]
I was sent out to cover the sentencing of Johnny Wright yesterday afternoon. I’ve never covered a sentencing before – basically prisoners are brought in the courtroom in groups, and they all stare at you trying to figure out if you’re going to photograph them. Anyway, here’s an outtake I liked of the two prosecutors [...]
It’s only taken me four years, but yesterday I went over to the Stephens College stables for an assignment about an animal communicator who was visiting to talk to the horses. Afterwards, I decided to wander around a little bit and found this scene.
Nice weather earlier this week meant people were hanging out on their porches. (Which makes me wish I had a porch to hang out on…) While driving around I found some boys playing basketball in a front yard. After I approached, I noticed that this little girl was running around dressed like Dorothy from the [...]
Every year, Columbia hosts the True/False Film Festival, also known as the best weekend in town. Here’s a few I liked from the festival, and the Tribune has a ton of stuff online too.
