Reality. For a moment… Sometimes my oldest allows me to take her photos. It has been years since she has actually “let” me photograph her in any other way than a sneaky and blurry candid. This is from November of 2014. 4 more months and she turns 11. Blown away daily by how amazing of…
19 Years and Half the World Away This is my friend, Duncan Ewington. I met him 21 years ago when he was a foreign exchange student from Tasmania that ended up staying with our friend Jason. This past weekend was the first time I have seen him in 19 years. The minute I heard he…

Concept plus execution tells the story for me… We have been needing to shoot something to document Jen’s pregnancy for awhile now. And this idea slapped us in the face when she was reading to me about where she…
I shot this photo of Max Taylor a few years back while he was filming his part for the first No Comply video. In typical skateboarding fashion, Max did this trick first try while warming up. Unfortunately when the camera came out to film the line, things didn’t go as smoothly or according to plan.…
This past weekend I had the opportunity to catch up with an old friend of mine, Nathan “SLOKE” Nordstrom. Over the past couple of years, we would run into each other randomly or a quick comment or message on Facebook. I decided that it was time to reach out to him and catch up…and photograph…
