My favorite feeling in the world is advancing a frame on my Nikon F. It's a manual advance and it sings to my heart each time I rip one over. The sound of the shutter opening is a close second. For me, on the other end of that frame advance is possibility. It's...
It's all about presentation. An update. A lift. No different than your own portrait timeline, I get a facelift every three years. Well... not me per se, but my website. The internet as a platform is constantly evolving, as is the quality of content being put out...

I'm sitting in Omaha Eppley Airport, waiting for my 10:55am flight to Washington D.C. Regan airport, after a lovely few days of photographing a few musicians and artists out here. Currently reflecting of the Missouri river that divides Nebraska and Iowa. No two...
