In this post, I want to share the timeliness that is essential to my work. As soon as I discover new sites, they seem to disappear. That fear drives my need to capture as many of these places as possible before all is lost. It’s a race against the “homogenizing” of America. This post is […]
Wow, it’s been too long since the last blog post. Well it’s time to let you know what the heck I’ve been doing. So this month’s post continues where I dropped off last year with my first photo safari to another city that made it’s mark building our country – St. Louis. In addition to
Introducing a model with such a title leads one to believe something amazing happened. And as a last minute addition to a crazy shoot schedule, he did just that. Reaching out through Instagram, I connected with this young man and Alex was able to be included in an already astounding repertoire of images. As luck

Working with Zach is symbolized beautifully with this first image – a tempting vine that wraps around your mind – tangling your imagination – producing stunning shots!
