Florida: Daytona Beach


I rolled into town near dusk and made my way to the KOA where I would spend the next couple nights camping in my little tent amongst the roar of motorcycle engines propelling bike week revelers.  Within moments of my arrival, a biker camped next to me made his way over to laugh at [...]

Florida: Panama City Beach


The first stop of my recent trip to work on my new project, ‘Florida: Eden Isle’, took me to the sunny shores of Panama City Beach where I spent a day hanging out with drunken revelers celebrating the not-so-timeless tradition of Spring Break.  It was scary to think that not so many years ago [...]

Rich Kidz for The FADER


When The FADER calls, you know you are in for an interesting shoot.  You also normally know you’re in for something authentic as this predictor-of-what’s-next craves images that feel real and fresh.  The publication normally impresses upon the artists that you want a look into their real life and not another trite image of [...]

This most recent trip led me throughout the state, from the magical world of Disney to a small town’s big parade to the sunny shores of South Beach with a great little circus thrown in to top it off.  These early visits on this new project have been broad swaths, whereas the next couple [...]

Florida: New Beginnings


I recently posted a series of images shot in Florida, commissioned by AARP.  That trip spurred a fascination I’ve always had with the state’s tourism industry, or more so with the places that industry has created, the people it attracts, and those that make it run.  As I reflected on why I was so [...]

My Waking Life: Recent Travel


As I constantly remind students and loved ones, I strongly believe it is as important to document our own lives and those around us.  Personally, it’s also one of my greatest sources of inspiration and what rekindles my love for photography again and again.  In recent times, I’ve invested much of this personal shooting [...]

Sapelo Island: Portrait of a Place


Last week I spent a day on the small barrier island of Sapelo off the coast of Southern Georgia.  My senses and awareness of my surroundings seemed to heighten the second my cell and internet connection wafted away somewhere over the Atlantic aboard the small ferry.
The grandson of the woman whose trailer I rented [...]

The Coast Revisited


My creative co-conspirator, business partner, and lovely wife Kendrick Brinson and I found ourselves an opportunity to revisit our ongoing project titled simply, The Coast.  This leg was a short drive from sunny LA to San Diego, sandwiched between two shoots with only an afternoon of shooting to afford.  While I always crave more, [...]
