Stock
I recently consolidated alot of my work taking it offline. Some of that work is very precious to me as well as being some of my favorite work, it would be a shame for them to sit on my hard drives. I created a stock gallery with separate (much lower) price points, I will be [...]
One crutch
I had the urge to shoot and the conditions were decent last night so I used one hand to grab a lawn chair and tripod and a crutch in the other. I heard dogs barking in the distance and it was the first time I’ve ever been shook by those sounds. Being defenseless in the [...]
10 more days
and I’m back on my feet. I feel a record coming on, I’m beginning to like the EP alot more than the complete album. An album seems like work and an EP seems like fun…kind of like writing one chapter rather than an entire book.
Inception
Give Leo and Christopher Nolan every award out there, it was perfect. I could have paid $50 and still have been ecstatic once it ended.
Seeing Eye
I changed my mind on the new STP record, its pretty good. There’s a couple songs that were ruining it for me but Dean Deleo’s guitar work is head and shoulders above anyone in rock and roll. Add in a stellar rhythm section fronted by a lunatic singer and you have one of the best [...]
12 String
Whenever I go to Atomic its usually to pick up a pedal, so I never stray to the back. A couple weeks ago I was killing time while I got my oil changed and wandered across the street. I saw this guitar and convinced myself that I needed it for an acoustic EP that I [...]

I played my nephew Miles Davis, Birth of Cool this morning and this afternoon he plucked his first notes on guitar. Coincidence? I doubt it.
Portfolio 2
My new body of work that focuses on textures and symmetry in nature.
Alberta Cross+BRMC
I got to see these two fine bands the other night courtesy of Austin, my friend who also happens to have the deepest pocket and fiercest beard since John Henry Bonham. I love everything about Albert Cross and I’m partial because I love Austin’s playing and I love their work ethic. They opened for Oasis [...]

I think I wrote something about me not taking any good shots for a month or so, guess I was wrong. My photography is getting a shot in the arm since I’m not allowed to play drums for another 2 months.
Kansas
This is Kansas, everyone should drive through if just once in their life. You may ask yourself why in the world would I want to drive through Kansas? Here’s your explanation…

I went to the Jasper Johns exhibit at the National Gallery today; primarily because I was curious about the work of a man who’s paintings have sold for the prices of 20 million and 80 million dollars. For a second I thought, maybe I picked the wrong mediums of art to dabble in. The longer [...]
Death Valley
I worked on this while listening to On’s album. I’ve listened to that album a couple thousand times over the years and it sounds new to me every time I listen to it. Ken Andrews is so ridiculously overrated as an engineer and producer that its a shame. I would love to have him mix [...]
Fall
I uploaded a gallery of Fall shots to my website. I seemed to be drawn to the black and white images more than the color ones. View Gallery
Film
I’m making the conversion to shooting all my nature work with film from now on. Aside from time lapse, night exposures and family stuff I don’t see the convenience in using digital. The convenience doesn’t outweigh how aesthetically pleasing film is. I doubt I’ll look back in 20 years and say I wish I shot [...]
First Snow
I think my camera is on its last legs, it turns off after I click the shutter. The only way to take another shot is to take out the battery, not exactly ideal circumstances while wearing gloves and shooting while its snowing. Hopefully its covered since I got it serviced by Canon in August.
Berryville Pond
I used to ride my bike here when I was younger. I’m beginning to see a parallel between my creativity in music and photography. I usually have to hack away on guitar or drums for a while (15-60min) and something usually comes of it song wise. Today I took a bunch of mediocre shots on [...]
Corn Field
There’s a corn field across the street from my house. I only made it out there a couple times before they harvested the crop. Standing in the middle of a corn field doesn’t seem that appealing to me now that I don’t get stoned. That or its just not that interesting to stand in the [...]
