I may have mentioned previously that I was working on some painting to sell. I started painting for fun a couple years ago when I needed a new creative outlet. Something I didn’t feel constrained by rules because I didn’t know them. And so painting became one of the first steps towards creative freedom. (You …
Behind the Scenes: Workflow
So when I was recently talking at the 8th Grade Career Fair one of the things we’re supposed to talk to the kids about is what a typical day looks like. And the thing is – I don’t really have a “typical” day. All my days are very different. Some days I edit all day. …

At this point I’ve lost track of how many years I’ve gotten to come back and participate in the 8th Grade Career Fair at Richland Community College. It is definitely something that I look forward to every year though and this year was no different! I try to make the talk I give these awesome …
New Fine Art Series: Growth
As you know I’ve been having fun with my latest Fine Art series, which is a self portrait series dealing with emotions or traits like hope, strength, growth, sorrow, anger, etc… I was inspired by one of my favorite fine art photographers, Brooke Shaden, to explore this world of fine art composite photography. You can …
