Art And Fear
Art And Fear I feel like i have written a billion posts that talk about luck and opportunity. It isn’t luck or opportunity that has created this portfolio or the images. It has been blood, sweat and tears that make these images. MIne…and the people I get to work with. Sometimes I choose to reach…
The Eyes Have It
The Eyes Have It On Father’s Day, the kiddos and I went o my aunt’s house for our bi-weekly Sunday dinners. Before we left the house, I decided to grab my camera and a roll of Lomography Lady Grey 400 speed film. After dinner, all of the kids ended up swimming in my aunt’s pool…
Last Tuesday was Pretty Sique
Last Tuesday was Pretty Sique As much as I love the interaction and sharing of Facebook, I feel like it is so stagnant and full of selfish motivation and peacock like boasting. Look what I did. Look who I hung out with. Look who I “know” and hang out with. I have left so many…

“All skateboarding is, is putting ideas into action” On April 14th, I grabbed my Rip-N-Dip cat backpack and loaded my film body with a 35mm lens and 4 rolls of black and white film and hopped in the car. After easily 6 months of not skateboarding, I needed to feel reconnected to something again. I…

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree… Yesterday, I loaded up my almost 13 year old daughter and headed down to Graffiti Park at Castle Hill. Keep in mind, it was the last day of music for SXSW… Parking was atrocious but we got lucky and only parked about a block away. There were…
