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…
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…
The Black Sheep I met Shaun earlier on in my photography career here in Austin. We met the first time at an event one of our mutual friends was having about 6 years ago, where I was also showing some of my work. I very clearly remember her amazingly outgoing spirit and personality. We chatted…

Mabel Stirrups A couple months back, I got to catch up and work with Mabel again. We stuck with one outfit (which she actually showed up wearing) and some more of that amazing daylight through the windows.
