Tweet The past two summers I’ve been teaching a high school photography course through a program called Upward Bound. We get the luxury of meeting during the hottest weeks of the year and my class is dependent on getting outside to make photographs of the city of Chicago. Both years we made it to Millenium [...]
Tweet Well, again – probably one of the most interesting people I’ve met this year is Theaster Gates. Art in America magazine requested to use an image I had from a previous shoot with him for their interview that covered his work and process, which I’d recommend you check out.
Tweet I was recently at work on a pretty interesting project for Chicago artist and community builder Theaster Gates. He asked me to document the process of some of his friends who were in from Japan creating a new body of ceramics for him, based on traditional soul food wares. To be honest there is [...]
Tweet I’m just over three weeks into the fundraising for this project and I’m really excited to see how far it’s come. I’ve still got just over $800 to raise, but we’re getting close. Thanks everyone who has helped out so far, whether it was with a few dollars or just spreading the word. If [...]

Tweet This is a project that I’m really excited to be a part of. I remember in 2007 when I was just dreaming about being a freelance photographer I once emailed Kevin Miyazaki out of the blue just to ask him about his work because I was so drawn to it. He responded graciously. Since [...]
Tweet Every so often I go back and photograph the disorganization of the woods. My brother once told me he doesn’t know anyone who takes more pictures of barren trees than I do. I’m not really sure why I always seek it out, but I guess I don’t need to know why. I hardly even [...]
Tweet Some work of mine will be in the “Street Stories” group show at the Kiernan Gallery in Lexington, VA next month. The show runs from Nov. 8 through Dec. 3.
Tweet I still think a well designed newspaper page is just a beautiful thing. This actually ran in color (story here), but I think I like this just as much. I’ve been thinking about b/w again these days…it’s been almost 8 years since I really shot it.
