Portraits, Interiors and a Ride Down the River — Recap of the first couple months of 2017.
It’s been a while since I’ve updated my blog, so here goes for… I’m going to break 2017 into several posts. The year started out a little nerve-racking when my biggest and most steady client decided to shut down the e-commerce part of their business. I know better than to put “all my eggs in…

Can you drop a camera and take a good photo?
My old boss always had random sayings about photography that really didn’t make much sense, but somehow they still run through my head all these years later. I don’t remember the exact saying, but he used to talk about dropping a camera and every once in a while you would end up accidentally taking a good…

F8 and be there — with a little bit a luck.
Have you ever heard the phrase “f8 and be there?” It’s attributed to being said by Weegee (Arthur Fellig) in the late 40’s, and it’s a phrase that comes through my head every time I am in one of those “is this really happening” moments. A couple of Saturday’s ago, I was driving to Eureka Springs…

2015- A year of changes for this Arkansas Photographer
On this last day of the year, I thought I would make my final blog post a reflection on the changes in my photography business. There were a lot of phone calls, emails, photo shoots, miles traveled and friends made along the way. My regular photography clients expanded from Northwest Arkansas into Little Rock and I put a…

Hugos – Fayetteville, Arkansas – Food Photographer
When I moved to Fayetteville almost 20 years ago, Hugos was the first restaurant I visited for lunch. It’s the place where the locals go that has a great assortment of food on the menu. They have awesome burgers and sandwiches, and a good selection of vegetarians options. The bottom line is you can’t go wrong with anything on the…

Lobster boats in Maine – Travel Photography
“f/8 and be there.” ~ Arthur “Weegee” Fellig A couple of years ago I traveled to Harrington, Maine, where I spent several early mornings photographing the docks and lobster boats. On this particular morning, the sun stayed hidden behind the clouds. It came out for about 30 seconds and I was able to capture this image.…

Northwest Arkansas Business Journal – Business photography
I photograph a lot of the cover photos for the Northwest Arkansas Business Journal, and have for many years now. It’s always a different experience with all of the businesses I encounter, and not every endeavor ends with the most creative photo. Most of the shoots involve offices or boardrooms, so I strive for a…

Beaver Lake House – Interior Photography
Over the summer, I photographed a house on Beaver Lake for AY Magazine. Prior to the shoot, we spoke with the owners and found out that one of their favorite things to do was to get up early, sit on the porch and watch the sun rise. So naturally, we decided that we should arrive…

Track and Field – Sports Photogrpher
Arkansas hosted several indoor track meets this season including the Tyson Invitational, Razorback Invitational, and the SEC Indoor Championships. I covered the events for several schools, which is always fun because it gives me a chance to photograph a variety of athletes, and work with schools outside of Arkansas. I’ve recently come to the conclusion…

Fayetteville received a record 15 to 19 inches of snow yesterday. Here are a few photos I shot for the Associated Press, as well as some that were shot this morning just so I could get out and play in the snow. On top of the record breaking snow-fall, we had record breaking low temperatures……

Sports Photography Details
While covering the Razorbacks for the University, the thing I’ve struggled with the most is not shooting action. Everything is important, not just the action on the field. I’ve really had to push myself this year to come up with more of the “detail” photos from the events we cover. I’ve had to really retrain…

Work Photos – sports and editorial photographer
Photography of track athletes at the Razorback Invitational. So i thought i would throw in this last photo of London Crawford just to show off his tattoos. To think that I’ve covered him during football season, and I had no clue he had this much ink! Here’s a shot of a few guys from C.R.…

Artsy stuff – personal
Long story short, I shot these water photos with the lyrics, “Ripple in still water, When there is no pebble tossed, Nor wind to blow,” running though my mind. I was thinking about our dear friend Josh and how fitting it was that his cousin sang that song at his funeral. Marcus, Hap and I…

LPGA- Nikon D3 – Arkansas Sports Photographer
So I broke down and bought a D3, and I’m so happy about it! I’ve been saving my pennies for the last few months trying to make the decision between a d300 and a d3. I’m so glad a d300 to shoot the Arkansas game b/c it helped me make up my mind. Woo hoo…

Race for the Cure – Personal
I had a great time at the race for the cure and finished just seconds over 30 minutes. I’m a slow runner, so I was very happy with my time being just under 10 minute miles… especially since I only trained for a couple of weeks! Thanks to everyone who donated to Save the Boobies!…

Tyson Invitational Track – Sports Photographer
Here are a few picts from the Tyson Invitational. I always enjoy shooting track because I’m fascinated by the athlete’s muscles… especially the pole vaulters! I usually suck at shooting the pole vault competition, but I had a little bit of luck tonight. Must be the 300mm! Adam Nelson’s throw of 73 feet 6 inches…
