I’m going through frames I made during my fellowship this summer. It’s always good to edit when you are somewhat removed from the work, it opens your eyes. This pair stuck out to me when considering the title. There will be a show in Nelsonville, Ohio with images from me and colleague/ classmate / very [...]
I’ve always been really attracted to organizations that help those help themselves. If, as a photographer, I could spread the word of these organizations that reward hard work with the potential to grow from more hard work in some capacity, I think I can feel satisfied. It all fits under the whole “sustainable” umbrella that’s [...]
I’m working on getting a new portfolio site done these days, and have gotten some good feedback from some knowledgeable folks but it leads me to a battle. I’m not a web guru, nor do I think any photographer really needs to be / should be. Course the more knowledge the better but that’s not [...]

“Head down Highway 160 towards Poplar Bluff and you’ll see a junkyard on your left with a big blue building….look for Bill.” This is the direction I get before driving to a place I’ve never been 80 miles south of a place I’m already at that I’ve never been to. Nothing to keep you on [...]
I’ve gotten feedback before that I tend to shoot too wide…which I agree used to be a big problem. Maybe it still is, but I don’t see the world in a tightly cropped, out of focus background kind of way.Now that I use a fixed 35 mm lens I feel that if I’m too wide [...]
One of my favorite blogs over at No Impact Man managed to hit what I think the nail is on the head the other day. I guess a lot of people think what he hit is also the nail. It’s just accepting that all you really need is love (and not a Mercedes … because [...]
