When the world’s on fire

Welcome to my portfolio. With everything that’s going on in this world right now it’s easy to feel like nothing matters, like everything that’s been fought for and won is slipping through our fingers. I don’t know what tomorrow holds, but I refuse to let the hate win, to let it bring me down. I will find beauty in this world, and I will fight to keep it and take back what they are trying to take.

“When armageddon’s been locked and loaded. I will come back for you!” -Bane, Swan Song

Scssr…

I had expected a quiet night of acoustic guitars when I heard that my local bookstore was going to have a little show in their reading room. What I didn’t expect was to get Scssr, and I can say it was a very pleasant surprise.

Penta…

Everyone who played at Sunday’s show was fantastic but Penta was something different. I don’t know what it was but I kept catching myself getting lost in the music and forgetting to take pictures. Absolutely someone you should be keeping an eye on.

The River…

For as long as I can remember I have been going to the Thousand Islands in New York. And because things got busy, I didn’t go for ten years, last week I got to go back and sitting on the banks of the river was the recharge I didn’t know I needed. And I made sure to bring my camera to share with you.

7 years in Dogtown…

When your barbershop celebrates their 7 year anniversary you know you got to show up with the camera. Vintage cars, Smash Bros, and great people, enough said.

Roller Rink Fun…

When you go to Nashville you probably should go check out all the things that the city is known for. When I go to Nashville I find myself at a roller rink. But I did make sure to walk around downtown a little bit too.

It never gets old.

I keep going to the same places, shooting the same rocks and skylines. Yet it never gets old. I find new interesting ways to see the world through the camera and as long as I do I’ll continue to share that with you.

I was promised scenic views.

I was told I had to go somewhere, that the views were tough to beat. They were not as good as I had hoped and I had worried that I had driven so long for nothing. But the day was beautiful so I hiked. And in the end I did not get the shots I had thought I would, but I’m still really happy with the few I walked away with.

Finding a new spot to explore is always great, but even with everything out there sometimes you can’t help but go back to one of your first muses to see what you might find.

There’s something about Black & White

When I first started photography (many many years ago) it was in black and white. And lately I’ve really fallen in love with black and white again so here’s an assortment of new photos with a couple of re-edits now in black and white.
