So – I recently read an article that went pretty in depth on color contrast in Black and White images in Adobe Lightroom. Well, I don’t own that. I prefer to just use the tools given to me in Photoshop and Bridge. These are great tips if you shoot in Raw format especially, but can [...]
Every once in a while you see something that you do and you’re just over joyed at how well it turned out. Well – I know I already posted about Travis and Karen – but I was way too excited about this image. Not only have I managed to perfect smooth skin, but I seem [...]
My mouth has been sour in regards to wedding photography until the past couple of weeks. I would say the leading causes for this have been working with people from my past, and not my present. Ended friendships, etc. However, Travis and Karen are easily one of my favorite couples. Strangely, they got engaged about [...]
It was an interestingly busy Sunday at church, and right in the middle of it, a young fledgeling bride-to-be bounced in front of me and asked me in an urgent tone about whether or not I could take their pictures that night since they needed to get their invitations out the next day.

Sometimes as I designer I get bored and have to change things up a bit. Just recently I completed a new desktop that better suites my tastes. I created 5 different files of the same shot and changed the hue so that the colors in the screen change once every minute. The shifts are subtle [...]
I’m submitting two pieces of art on GALVANIZED STEEL to Art Slaves, a month-long event that’s been a major part of Reno’s Art Town since it’s creation fifteen years ago. The event is for artists in media, marketing and communications and allows them to showcase what they do when they aren’t hard-pressed by clients and [...]
This blog was once here, but mysteriously vanished overnight. I’d like to work to remake it. I’m a digital image specialist as a profession, photographer on the side, artist by trade. Speaking of trades, I consider myself a renaissance man as opposed to the jack of all trades and master of none. In this world [...]
