In the middle of September, the Mrs. and I finally went on our honeymoon in Costa Rica. I had been there once before on a study abroad trip in 2009, and boy was it good to be back! We both love to travel, so it was a nice break from the daily routine. We spent the first tw ... Continue Reading
Two years ago, I went to Costa Rica on a semester-long study abroad program through Duke University and the Organization for Tropical Studies. While studying tropical biology, I also took a LOT of photos. Today, I’m going back to Costa Rica on my honeymoon! Here are a few i ... Continue Reading
Last week we had what southerners would call a “snow day” and northerners would have simply called “a snow.” On the second day, I went out there for about an hour, hiked down the hill and back, and here’s what I came up with. You can see a few mor ... Continue Reading
I took some quick portraits at Lake Fayetteville a couple of weeks ago, and hung around an extra 10 minutes or so snapping a few nature shots for myself. I need to do that more often! Here are a few, and you’ll find a few more here on Flickr. (Note: you may have seen these ... 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
I completely forgot to post this here (I mentioned it on Facebook and Twitter), but on the day of Help Portrait a week or so ago, I got a call from the Pack Rat Outdoor Center here in Fayetteville saying that I’d won first place in their annual outdoor photo contest! Here&# ... 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
I have an exhibit of twelve images from my trip to Yosemite National Park this summer on display at the Arsaga’s Espresso Café coffee shop on the corner of Gregg and Township streets in Fayetteville, Arkansas, now until January 5. I will be having a very informal reception on ... 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
This summer I went to Yosemite and San Francisco with my family for a couple of weeks. I’d never been to either places, and it turned out to be a great adventure. I’ve FINALLY finished processing the photos, so here they are. I’m going to split this into two po ... 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
So, I’m back from India. It was a quick, one week, in and out job…but it was fantastic. I had Indian food three meals a day for a week, got to reunite with an old monk friend from my study abroad trip two years ago, and took over 6,000 photos. That said, I’m s ... 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
So, it finally happened. I finally got an iPhone (4). I’ve seen some quite impressive mobile photos, and I’m going to take a stab at it. The best camera is the one you have with you, right? I’m still learning how to use it, but I’ve uploaded a few to Flick ... Continue Reading
Last weekend I went to my friend Ryan’s bachelor party–the first one I’d ever been to! We floated rafts on the Elk River in Missouri, which was conveniently located downstream from a Tyson chicken plant. After a weekend of galavanting, here are a few photos. Obv ... 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
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
All images © Joel Sartore. When I heard about Joel Sartore’s new book, I thought it was a really interesting project. When I saw this promo video for Joel Sartore’s new book, I thought “this is exactly what I want to do with my life. Period.” When I o ... 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
