In 2001, my first job out of college was at the Atlanta Zoo. I have always loved animals and as a kid I read lots of books about zoo keepers, I read the magazine Zoobooks and I went to Zoo Camp… so naturally I wanted to give being a Zoo Keeper a try. But when…

Mimi and I had our first trial photo-shoot for the Wool Book (click here to read more about the project.) The main idea is to create a book with patterns for wool garments, created by Marlie, with stories and background information about local farmers and the agricultural region we live in, written by Mimi, and…

Blurry photos are not for everyone, but maybe they were just perfect for my friend Micah’s Birthday party (member of The Yard Dogs.)

Well, technically I didn’t get dumped… but a loved one who I happen to be match-making for, on e-harmony, got dumped today… and maybe it is fair to say that I got a little too involved. I know this has nothing to do with photography, so I will keep it brief… but I wanted to…

For some reason, I was not really into the idea of watermarking my images. I am not sure why, maybe I didn’t want to take away from the photo or maybe I didn’t want to imply that I did not trust people to use my images without giving me credit… but in the last couple…

I got a canon 5D…. yay. Low light….yay. Huge screen….yay. Full sensor….yay. And my wide angle lenses are wide again….. In the photo above you can see how wide…. from where I was sitting I could not even see Chad (the guy on the left), but with my 16mm lens and the full sensor of…
