Just a few leftovers from MPW. I didn’t want to go over my 400-frame limit, so I used my phone instead.
I’ve been in Clinton, Mo., all week for the Missouri Photo Workshop. Describing it as intense would be an understatement, but it was an amazing experience and I met and photographed a very gracious family for four days. Whoa. Here’s just an extra frame from the workshop. James decided to play under the blanket one [...]
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.

Because really, what’s better than driving your seat around? From the Women’s Big 12 Golf Championships last weekend here in Columbia. 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 can’t remember a time when I wasn’t a fan of baseball. I started playing at age 5 and didn’t stop until high school. I was never the best player on the team, but I always loved the game. Certain things about playing stick out: the smell of the grass, the way the dirt would [...]
I usually never keep my big DSLR with me when I travel on airplanes. It’s packed away under the seat and, in the past, if I ever saw something cool, I’d just snap it with my camera phone. On the way to Wyoming last night, I decided to bring just the camera – no bags, [...]
