I met with Stanton fairly early in the morning to do a little test shoot, after talking to him to see if shooting extreme jet skiing would be a good fit for me. It was a blast and to see him thrusting that 350 lb vehicle sometimes 15+ feet in the air was pretty amazing. [...]

Over this years Memorial Day weekend, Rachel and I attended her younger sister’s wedding in Tacoma, Washington. For me it was a very casual wedding to shoot as I was also a guest and took photos during the ceremony and briefly during the reception.

A friend and I are going to be putting on a bikini car wash this spring/summer for various shops around the Bay Area so we decided to hold a photo shoot at one of the businesses in their warehouse. Initially I thought we’d just be posing the girls with various products around the guy’s place, [...]

I met with Barton over Labor Day weekend to catch up a bit and have him be part of the Cameraphonic Sessions, that at the time I was just starting. I’ve been sitting on these photographs for awhile and decided to drag them from my hard drive to share. Barton is a wonderful musician who [...]

We had met prior to this shoot to see what ideas one another had and how we were going to go about finding locations. At first we had planned on shooting at a small local garden in San Francisco and we had arranged a time to meet with one of the co-op owners, but he [...]

Dani and I got together on a chilly November evening to try and do something with a bit more “edge” to it and try out my new wireless flashes I had just picked up. We trekked through the abandoned orchard by my house on the dark and cold evening and decided on a random outcrop [...]
