So once in a while when I’m bored I get the urge to set up a random photoshoot in my apartment. So after a quick run to the produce isle of the Coop, Tri-State for some fishing line, and Staples for some other stuff, I started shooting backlit cross-sections of fruit in [...]

Eric and Nicole recently got hitched, and I got the pleasure of being their photographer. Here’s a few of my favorites from the big day.
I’m trying some different things to get rid of my photo overlap problem. It’s better, but still not fixed. Some of the photos below are still cut off, so click on [...]

For the most recent edition of Blot magazine I did a photo essay called “Fashion Through the Decades.” Here are a few of the images that appeared. If you want to see the rest, you can view the PDF of the pages at www.blot.uidaho.edu

So we had the last session of Mark LaMoreaux’s photography workshop last night, and I got a chance to do some photos in his studio. Here’s a couple of the shots. Thanks to Addie Callihan for being so easy to shoot.

Two posts at once! It’s cheating, I know. This is my attempt at surrealism for a photo workshop I’m taking.

I know Valentines day was awhile ago, but better late than never.

Holy crap, I haven’t posted in two months. I kind of took a hiatus from photo work over Christmas break, but now I’ve hit the ground running. A local theater group, Animal Fire Theatre Group, just did their first production and asked me to do some promo photos for them. They performed Henry V, and [...]

It was a sunny October afternoon when I set out to downtown Moscow with my camera and a tape recorder to capture the various faces that populate this town. I took quite a few portraits, but I narrowed it down to these 18. Click on each image to see it full size and get more [...]

So I’m in Austin, Texas for the ACP/CMA National College Media Convention, and I’ve got to say this town is pretty freakin cool. It’s like a giant college town. As I heard one speaker say, “A bastion of liberalness in a conservative state.” I’m trying to come up with something for the photo contest this [...]

My friend Nick Groff showed me this, and it is pretty awesome. This entire video is made from still photos compiled in Final Cut Pro.

Whew, haven’t updated in far too long. Once school and work kick in it’s hard to find any time for my personal photography work. Anyways, I was going through some of my old work at the Argonaut, and I pulled out a few photos I like that I never posted online.

I took these awhile back and have been meaning to go through them. On the way home from Fishtail we stopped at Lewis and Clark Caverns in Montana. Probably one of the most spectacular natural formations I’ve ever seen. While it wasn’t as photographer friendly as Yellowstone, I made the best of it and dealt [...]

I recently learned a few new portrait editing techniques for softening and spotlighting in Photoshop, and I put them to the test on some of my older photos. I was pretty pleased with the results.

So I just finished the book Evidence of My Existence by photojournalist Jim Lo Scalzo. It is a memoir of his 17 years of wonderlust and amazing work. I highly recommend it to anyone, even if you have no interest in photography, travel or journalism. It is just a good book. If you are interested [...]

Last weekend was my girlfriend’s family reunion in the tiny town of Fishtail Montana. The reunion was held on the family ranch that has been there for quite some time. It was a fun time. Good food, good weather, and I was able to make some pretty good photos. This is what I got from [...]

Of course it wouldn’t be the Fourth of July without some fireworks photos. The show in the Pullman park is pretty good, as long as you show up in time to grab a good seat. There was a very pretty pond in the park that I was pretty psyched about getting some firework reflection photos [...]

At the beginning of 2009, I did something I usually don’t do: make a New Year’s Resolution. I decided to create an alphabet series of photos. One photo for each letter of the alphabet. So far I am to G (promptness obviously isn’t a priority with this project). It is something I dove into hoping [...]

So this summer I’m taking an environmental journalism class. Our most recent field trip was to Craig Mountain outside of Lewiston, Idaho to study wildlife management and land use. The trip, guided by Fish and Game biologist Justin Barrett, was very informative and the views were amazing. I am working on my article for the [...]

So I’ve been working on getting this blog going for awhile now, but today I got a chance to speak with AP photographer Ted Warren. He talked about the importance of establishing a web presence and getting online with some photojournalism work and personal projects, and it got me all fired up again about working [...]
