Decided to give some black and white film a whirl.

(Yes, he was really that tan.)

Santorum in Peoria

Had the opportunity to photograph Rick Santorum the evening before the state elections. I was most struck by the number of children at the rally holding signs and shouting for Santorum to take the stage. I'm pretty sure I barely knew who the president even was when I was that small. Needless to say, I had a little more fun photographing the supporters than the man himself.

Peoria Central takes first in state

Still not a fan of sports action, but I love everything that surrounds it. Took a ride on the fire truck for Central's victory parade yesterday. Some people were thrilled to see them ride by, others, not so much. 











Marry me, I'm Irish

Witnessed an engagement in the middle of a parade, and other greeny goodies

'I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope'

That time I made 28 exposures on one frame of 35mm film.

True/False 2012

You. Yes, you. Stop what you're doing and take some time to read about the True/False Film Festival, then clear your calendar for March 2013. You won't regret it. 


I told someone recently that it's always the best weekend of the year, and they proceeded to tell me that I obviously "didn't get out much." I beg to differ.


The city of Columbia, Missouri is completely transformed, with art at every venue and a musicians on the street corners. There's something amazing about seeing people line up for sold out documentaries, being able to approach directors you admire with no sense of pretense, swaying to beautiful, intimate music showcases every night then following them up with crazy dance parties. Year after year, I'm surprised and overjoyed by the pure sense of creativity and community.
