Listen to us talk about his history with photography, what challenges him in photography, what he thinks of his photography, and the wild, wonderful world of Twitter snafus.

“You can try the best you can, The best you can is good enough.” – Radiohead, Optimistic It came down to me and one other kid. There we are, standing along the sidelines in our gym uniforms, awaiting our fate. One of us was going to get selected, and the other was going to be [...]

I Still Don’t Believe In New Year’s Resolutions, But If I Did…
Yesterday, I teased you all about what my resolutions would be for 2012 after showcasing how I failed so horribly at last year’s list like a Washington, DC sports franchise. While I didn’t do so bad with the professional goals, my personal goals were left in the dust. As a result, the list I made [...]
New Year’s Resolutions? I Did One Of Those???
It should come as no surprise, but I completely forgot all about New Year’s Resolutions. I mean, I did sort of warn you all in Internetland that I thought New Year’s Resolutions are stupid – hell, it was the first line of the post I did a year ago. However, to entertain all of you [...]
What Am I Doing? [11.21]
Just when I think, for once, I’m going to have a slow, peaceful week to play catch up, BOOM! A truly fantastic and inspirational opportunity comes my way, and I’m left blissfully wondering how I got to be so lucky.
What Am I Doing? [8.22]
There are some things in life more important than making money and making money and making money. As much as I love working and can be a bit of a workaholic, I also know full well how to enjoy my free time and spend it with the people I care about all proper dopper like. [...]
Good Artists Copy; Great Artists Steal
I don’t think I do anything special. Snap a photo here, over-process it into oblivion there, and call it “art”. How original is that? Well, by describing my work in such a vague and generalized tone, sure. I’m weak sauce. However, looking at a broader spectrum of iPhoneography out there – nay, photography, in general [...]
Swim Meet
I have fond memories of numerous summers when I would visit my dad. Because Virginia is god awful in the summer, with a heat index reaching as high as “Holy Shit, It’s Hot!”, we would spend a lot of time at the pool or, every so often, take a weekend trip to his friends’ vacation [...]
What I Learned At The Shooting Range
I don’t own a gun. I’m not a member of the NRA. So when I went off to take photos at the shooting range located at the United States Air Force Academy, I didn’t think there was going to be much for me there. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
What Am I Doing? [4.18]
What a roller coast of emotions this week! Maybe even more like a glass case of emotion. Between visiting wounded Marines and traveling to NYC to visit family, I’ve been all over the place, but the running around has been much needed this week. This coming week will be a little more subdued, so maybe [...]
The Road To Where?
I’m lying in bed last night, wondering what the fuck I’m doing. Across from my bed rests part of a Starbucks apron, framed and the words “Providence Will Miss You” surrounding it. Glowing from my television is an episode of Scrubs, and I watch the characters gather happily at the end of the episode like [...]
What Am I Doing? [3.28]
I have a love/hate relationship with the beginnings of spring, and if you know me as a person at all, you’re highly shocked that I love anything about the spring at all. I get really bad allergies, bugs and gnats start popping up all over the place, and the tourists return to DC to flood [...]
What Am I Doing? [3.15]
I wish every week was like last week. Last week, I expressed that it was going to be the first week I would shoot a live concert, and I was freaking out, man! Ok, not so much “freaking out”, but considering Andrew – a well-versed concert photographer – has recommended me to welovedc.com, I put [...]
What Photographers Say To Each Other In E-Mail Form
Yesterday, I brought up that Andrew and I had a conversation on a variety of subjects. I wanted to bring up the lack of originality and how nothing is new in the post, but then Andrew starts invading my twitter stream with other things we talked about that night. So, we got the idea to [...]
Nothing Is New
“Are you kidding me? I thought the concert was TODAY, not TOMORROW!” I was supposed to meet up with Andrew to see Tim Reynolds as he shot the band at State Theater in Falls Church. Well, that was the original plan. However, a little SNAFU meant he and I were catching up and drinking at [...]
Role Reversal – What It’s Like Being Photographed
As you may recall, Andrew and I had a photography session with Alicia Griffin last Sunday, and the entire time, I was thinking, “this would be great to blog about!” Ok, I was actually thinking, “I must look like an IDIOT!” Nonetheless, I did feel like I should share my experience being on the flip [...]
What’s The Frequency, Kenneth?
I’ve got a bad case of Earworm embedded in my genes. I have this tendency to get a song stuck in my head first thing when I wake up, and throughout the rest of the day, that song – and maybe other songs by the same artist – will cycle through my head like a [...]
Number One Hundred!
So today is yet another milestone. Write it down, people: February 11th, 2011 = my 100th post. 2/11/11. Holy crapola! And after seeing over 200 hits from Wednesday’s post about one of my faves, Summer Amin, I feel like I’ve got to really step it up today. I should’ve planned this a while ago and [...]
How Are Your Clients Doing?
I was trying to decide what I should write about today and reminiscing about previous shoots and the days of yore. Shoots gone bad, shoots gone great, and shoots gone everywhere in between. I’ve been staying in touch with a few of the clients I’ve had, following up on how their business is [...]
