Accidents will happen…
Accidents will happen… This is the first frame from a roll of film I shot with Ginger Paige about 8 or 9 days ago. In the past couple years since I started shooting and processing my own film again, this is the second time I have had a first frame that was partially exposed. The…
Don’t Forget to Breathe
Don’t Forget to Breathe I try to give very little direction during my shoots. I like to let the people I work with live within a real environment. To capture what they are feeling and experiencing at that very moment. I’ve come to realize that what I do isn’t something that can always be directed…

con·fi·dence
con·fi·dence con·fi·dence (ˈkänfədəns) n. 1. a feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of one’s own abilities or qualities. “she’s brimming with confidence” This word perfectly describes Noelle; and our subsequent shoot. She carries herself in such a manner that you can’t help but notice the air of confidence she exudes. It isn’t cockiness or arrogance; instead…
