A few weeks ago, I was hired by the Walton Arts Center to be the photographer for their Artosphere event. Artosphere is a 6 week festival which promotes sustainability through numerous musical and otherwise artistic events at very low (or free) prices. It’s pretty much the ... Continue Reading
Sunday at Wakarusa is always the slowest day. Many people (at least the ones who had to work on Monday) left early that morning, at noon, or at night, depending on where they had to drive to. I would have gone home, except I wanted to stay until 8pm and see the legendary Toots an ... Continue Reading
Day two of Wakarusa brought more heat, more good music, an awesome parade, and more heat. Split Lip Rayfield and their gas tank upright bass put on a great show, Carrie Rodriguez played a mean fiddle at the Backwoods Stage, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings brought a little Motown t ...

Whew. What a weekend. I got home at about 10pm last night after being at Wakarusa since Wednesday afternoon. It was hot, hot, and more hot, but there was some great music to be heard. I even got woken up by a bear, but you’ll have to wait to hear that story. I took about 6, ... Continue Reading
A few days ago I met with Emily and Jacob and their adorable pup to get some portraits out at Lake Fayetteville. Emily was the winner of a free matted 5×7 print for signing up for my Daily Photo at one of the previous First Thursday Fayetteville events, and it turns out she ... Continue Reading
I think this has been the busiest few weeks of my life. We’re moving today and tomorrow and am almost finished renovating the house we’re moving into. On top of that, eight people are coming to stay with us on Tuesday to see the Dalai Lama on Wednesday! Briefly: • ... Continue Reading
Northwest Arkansas got a record amount of snow yesterday (almost 20″ in Fayetteville – over three years’ worth of snow in 24 hours!), so I bet many of you are going to go out and take photos in it. I thought I’d share some images I took a few days ago alon ... Continue Reading
Happy New Year, everyone! Here's to a great year and a great 2011. Continue Reading
First of all, Merry Christmas! I hope you and yours have a great holiday and that you do nothing but relax and eat pie. I prefer peach, but pecan will do. Last week, as you might have heard, was the first total lunar eclipse that happened on the winter solstice in almost 400 year ... Continue Reading
Last week, I went out to Lake Fayetteville to do some group shots of some friends from high school (well, some before then). The snow held off, the rain held off, yet, sadly, the pile of dog “mess” I stepped in did not hold off. But, it was a short, sweet session, and ... Continue Reading
Last week, a friend from New York who I met on my study abroad trip to Costa Rica in 2009 stayed with us for a couple of days on his way to move to New Mexico. Last Tuesday, we took a day trip to Kyle’s Landing on the Buffalo River and took a quick day hike to Hemmed-i ... Continue Reading
Last Saturday, I surprised Darby (the affianced) with a 3 year and 11 month anniversary trip to the Gentry Zoo, which was really just a good excuse to give her a good break from writing her honors thesis. More formally known as the “Wild Wilderness Drive-Through Safari, ... Continue Reading
A few weeks ago I finished some work for the University of Arkansas Honors College. They contracted me to do some photo work for their brochures and mailouts, as well as for the revamp of their website. The new website has been launched, and I’ve counted over 20 of my photo ... Continue Reading
Yesterday I went for a short hike around Devil’s Den State Park in Arkansas with my mom and brother. We meandered about for a few hours, sat by the river, and of course I took some photos. Here are a few, and you can see the rest here on Flickr. (P.S. I like this first one ... Continue Reading
This past Labor Day I went camping with my fiance and a few friends at Kyle’s Landing on the Buffalo National River in Arkansas. It’s a beautiful, beautiful place. (You’ve already seen shots from this same area here and here, right?). We took a short day hike to ... Continue Reading
Last night, we came across this delightful fellow outside on the deck. It’s currently quite hot in Arkansas (upper 90s F every day, sometimes over 100 F), and therefore the bugs are abound. He was quite still, and modeled well — and with only one light to see him, t ... Continue Reading
On Thursday night, two friends (Stephen C. and Bertha) went to Devil’s Den State Park in Arkansas to see the Perseid meteor shower. Bertha and I were going to try photographing it, of course, and Stephen C. just layed, watched, and kept us company (when he wasn’t taki ... Continue Reading
Last Saturday I shot a little bit of Andrea and Elliot’s wedding in Bentonville with Stone Ridge Photographers. I was there for the ceremony and for only the beginning of the reception, but it was a big crowd and quite a fancy room at the Embassy Suites to host them–i ... Continue Reading
I shot Katie and Brent’s wedding a few weeks ago with Stone Ridge Photographers at the historic (and haunted) Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Katie and Brent–man, what a fiesty, happy couple–had a fairly small group of family and friends that made fo ... Continue Reading
In late May (yes, before Heather and Kyle’s wedding), Darby and I shot a small ceremony in Gulley Park in Fayetteville for Mark and Dana of Stone Ridge Photographers because they had another wedding to shoot that day. It was small, short, and sweet, and the overcast day mad ... Continue Reading
This is just a quick post to say that I won’t be updating until about two weeks from now. Long story short: I shot lots of photos at Wakarusa, then went to San Francisco and Yosemite with my family for two weeks, hung a show at Ozark Natural Foods (which runs now through th ... Continue Reading
So one of my best friends (who you’ll see diving in below) is a complete sucker for swimming holes. A couple of weeks ago, he got Darby and I to go out with him to one about 20 minutes out of town, and we took dinner and had a swim. It. Was. Cold. Here are a few shots! A fe ... Continue Reading
A few weeks ago, I went around taking some photos of local businesses for the Traveler. They did a student poll–one of those “Best of X” things–and I got to take photos of a few of the winners. In other news, SCHOOOOOOOL’S OUT. FOR. SUMMER. I just ha ... Continue Reading
It is an unwritten rule that the worst light to take photographs in is around noon. The sun is straight over head, so the shadows are flat/boring, the colors aren’t vibrant, and worst of all, it’s usually hot. OK, so that rule is probably written in lots of places. Bu ... Continue Reading
Last night I attended a rally in support of comprehensive immigration reform. I’ve written an article for the UA newspaper The Arkansas Traveler, which you can find here. The event happened in Springdale (though it’s original plan was snowed out of the Union Ballroom) ... Continue Reading
Last night I participated in the first “First Thursday Fayetteville” of the season on the historic downtown Fayetteville, AR, square. On the first Thursday of each month (when the weather is nice, that is), local artists gather around the square to sell their crafts, ... Continue Reading
A month ago today, I was wandering through the woods of the Buffalo National Forest with my friend Stephen Coger on our way to see the falls at Hemmed-in Hollow. This waterfall, above the Buffalo River in Arkansas, is the tallest waterfall between the Rockies and the Appalachians ... Continue Reading
I’ve now worked twice at Heartwood Gallery in Fayetteville, and one thing I can say is that when you work there, you get bored pretty easily. By mid-afternoon I was restless, so I grabbed my camera and headed outside to see what I could find. I decided to focus on birds, as ... Continue Reading
Never again will I wait this long between posts. Sorry! Things have been incredibly busy with school (did you know I graduate this summer?), and I’ve been badly neglecting this blog. But now it’s spring break…and I have at least a little more free time. WhatR ... Continue Reading
So, we’ve had some crazy weather in Fayetteville these past few days. School let out (yes, the University actually closed!) by 5 p.m. on Thursday and was closed all day Friday, and today things didn’t open up until 10 a.m. We had about 8 inches of snow as well as plen ... Continue Reading
