Gear Review: Canon 7D & Aquatech CO-7 Underwater Housing
A gear review published in my recent newsletter. If you havent checked it out yet, click here. When I found out that I’d be heading out to the Seychelles, I knew I would have to make an upgrade in gear. My immediate need was a new camera body. Up until this trip, I had shot [...]
Flight
I’m pretty bummed that I can’t make it to the annual air show at Alliance Airport this year. My brother is getting married and well, I guess that’s more important. I did however make it last year and it was awesome. It happened to be my first air show to shoot photos at – it [...]

I’m super excited to announce my first sponsorship! I have partnered up with AquaTech, a company that specializes in camera housings, sport shields and other photography accessories. These guys build their products with adventure photographers in mind and I can’t wait til I get my new housing in. What initially caught my eye is their [...]
Texas Lightning
With all the recent weather insanity, I’ve had the opportunity to go out and attempt capturing some lightning. These past two storms in particular had high amounts of cloud to ground strikes as well as in cloud strikes. With my tripod, cable release, and camera I’ve managed to capture a few that are worth looking [...]
Split Toning Alaska
Just going through some photos earlier from my past years in Alaska. I’ve been playing around with split toning lately and really like the look of it. For those of you that aren’t in the know, split toning is simply applying one color to your photographs highlights and another color to the shadows. This can [...]
Having Fun with One Flash
On the latter end of my family vacation this past weekend I decided to have a little fun with some portraits. What’s a family vacation without screwing around and making some goofy faces? It simply had to be done. There was a challenge however – I only had one flash and my shoot-through umbrella. I [...]
Seychelles – Pre Trip
I’ve got an opportunity in November that not many on this planet get to take advantage of. In 8 months I will be traveling to the Seychelles — a group of atolls and islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean. This place is perhaps the most epic, remote saltwater fishery in the world. At [...]
Buffalo River – Day 1
Last nights wall of severe thunderstorms definitely screwed up my fly fishing plans – I had a backup however. With rain, comes waterfalls, and there were plenty to explore and photograph. My family and I hiked up into the Lost Valley State Park just up the road from Ponca, Arkansas. The trees are just starting [...]

Last week I finally made it out to a place I should have visited years ago. About 3 hours East of Dallas is an incredibly wild and beautiful place known as Caddo Lake. This lake happens to be the only natural lake in the state of Texas – when you’re there, you can notice the [...]
Surface Film – Great Showing
This past Thursday I flew out to Denver to check out the Greenback’s Surface Film. I had been invited to donate one of my photographs for the show as did 20 other photographers including Brian Grossenbacher, Louis Cahill, Tosh Brown and others. These guys did a great job and it showed — the gallery was [...]
New Client: GoCharge
I’m excited to see the brand new website of goCharge – a company offering mobile device charging kiosks. It’s a really cool company. The reason I’m excited is because I shot all the product images for them! In the past I’d only shot smaller products, so I was definitely ready to upgrade to the big [...]

Having Fun Without My “Real” Camera
This past week I took off to visit my best friend, Tyler. He lives in Glenwood Springs, CO. My other best friend Sam and I had been planning this trip for a while and it was the first time we had all hung out together in a while. Needless to say, it was an incredible [...]
