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 [...]

My wife and favorite collaborator, Kendrick Brinson, and I were recently commissioned to spend two days photographing the town of Greensboro, Alabama where over a quarter of the population receives Social Security Disability benefits.  The assignment was essentially to build a cast of characters, and capture the feel of the town in [...]

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 [...]

Florida for AARP: iPhone


This trip marks a very significant point in my personal photographic life.  It stands as the honest point when I finally embraced my phone as another tool in my bag.  Sure, I used it before here and there, and when I had to, but I never truly accepted it -  Never looked at it [...]

Florida for AARP: Portraiture


Amidst the statewide documentary scavenger hunt, iPhone essay, audio interviews, video portraiture and conceptual video work, I still had to fit in still portraiture. As my plate was clearly full, this had to be done in a relatively short amount of time after I found my subjects and collected the rest of the bag [...]
