professional tourist | Redlights and Redeyes
Link: There is a fine line between work and play being a photographer, which is what is so amazingly wonderful about our job. A client calls and asks you to spend a couple days in “X” city, making whatever photos you want as long as they somewhat fit the story. In general, that is all…

a week with wolverines | espn the mag
Link: I love gigs for this client. ESPN the Magazine sent me to follow around the University of Michigan Wolverines for a week as they entered a tough stretch of games in the BIG 10. I travelled with the team on their plane and buses all day with full access to whatever we needed. Quite…

color and composition | leica x2 workshop
Link: the X2 is what I carry around now when I’m not working. This thing is just plain fun to use.

leica en méxico
Link: Color is what drives me and how I see. It’s the first thing I look for when breaking down a scene, and the last thing that stands in the way of a good photo. Without it, you’re in black-and-white-land, and as much I love BW photography, there’s nothing like an oversaturated gratuitous explosion of…

broncos + chiefs | one day + one game
Link: I don’t know how I drew the long straw on these series of gigs, but I’m happy I did. This is my third One Day One Game for ESPN the Magazine and every time it’s a complete and total visual mosh pit I never want to leave.

expired at the kentucky derby | Redlights and Redeyes
expired at the kentucky derby My goal, now – albeit pretty lofty – is to spend the next year trying to shoot every major sport’s biggest game with expired film. I’ve been buying lots of film off eBay, friends have been sending it to me (hint), and now I’ve accumulated rolls in varying speeds and…

expired at the daytona 500 | Redlights and Redeyes
expired at the daytona 500 This was an awesome experience to approach a shoot with a different process – and that art-making process gets lost in the craziness of this business. Getting imagery out to the world in the matter of seconds just because we can seems to have taken over the fun and thought…

auto focus | the player’s tribune | Redlights and Redeyes
auto focus I’ve never shot IndyCar before this shoot for the fine folks at The Player’s Tribune, but what I learned in a couple days of running around the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg reaffirmed everything I thought it would be from covering other racing: it’s extremely loud, painfully hot, but so much fun…

go irish and/or roll tide
Link: go irish and/or roll tide | Redlights and Redeyes I sat there after the first half with Alabama up several touchdowns up on Notre Dame and ate a terrible hot dog in a media room where all the photographers just looked depressed. All of the excitement, the adrenaline, and preparedness was sucked right out…

Link: Redlights and Redeyes So LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and I were there together hanging out and….well, there really isn’t going to be a time I get to say that again, so I’m going to take advantage now. I was lucky enough to be part of the huge team that the fine folks at ESPN…

I-4 or bust
Link: Redlights and Redeyes I-4 is an interesting road. Connecting Daytona, Orlando and Tampa, it slices the nub of South Florida right off the map, it provides a vast array of landmarks – strange kitschy theme parks, vasectomy billboards, and rest stop oasis after oasis. It is also fertile ground for voters and an area…
