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.
Tweet Work done in conjunction with various forestry and environmental non-profit organizations over the years will be shown in Athens, Ohio on Nov. 10 to celebrate the International Year of the Forest. I’m happy to have work in the show with friends and other great photographers Josh Birnbaum, Pradeep Edussuriya, Jim Korpi and Michael DiBari.

Tweet One recent assignment that I enjoyed was getting to meet and photograph Chicago artist Theaster Gates. To call him an artist is possibly a bit limiting when describing his work. Check out the story about him and his ladder, and check out his site to learn a bit more about him.
Tweet This month has been one of my busiest in my short freelance career, and while I am grateful to be working there have been two recent instances that reminded me that a photograph’s value often transcends how “good” I think it may or not be, because there is value just in what a photograph [...]
Tweet I usually stick to downtown Chicago when I’m photographing on the streets, as I have a long term goal for that work (whether it looks like a project or not, it is). It’s a whole different thing photographing in Naperville…the bubble of a suburb that I’m from and live in. There’s an annual Labor [...]
Tweet I recently photographed Jesse Ruiz – former student and current friend of President Obama for the Guardian Weekend Magazine. Jesse was a great sport and let us try a few locations out, all while being a super friendly guy and putting up with photographer shenanigans. I have to admit, I don’t always expect the [...]
Tweet I’ve been working on a few new pieces for my Loop Derivatives series. Sketch from Derivative #21 above.
