Justin Scalise

Justin Scalise is an actor and is someone that I’ve wanted to get to know better for some time. We bump into each other around town with frequency but there’s never the opportunity to have a conversation of substance. About two weeks ago he took me up on the offer to sit for a portrait. The session gave us the time to have a real conversation while creating some powerful images. I’m hoping to work more with Justin in the future. Love, love, love the eyes!


On a person note, I’ve been thinking a great deal about friendships and the people that I surround myself with past and present. There’s been a fire of sorts that has swept through my life clearing it of those people who longer needed to be there, stripping away those who were toxic and allowed the true and honest relationships to shine bright.

Post-Oedipus

Had a great time shoot some press images for the upcoming production of Post-Oedipus in Austin, Texas at The Blue Theatre by Getalong Gang. It was one of the shoots where I had a rough idea in mind of what I wanted to achieve in terms of look and feel but nothing super mapped out so the process was very organic.  This type of process can be a bit more stressful in the beginning but extremely rewarding and fun by the end of shoot. This shoot marks the first time working with the people at Getalong Gang and the two amazing ladies who have recently taken over management of The Blue Theatre. This project is also the first time working with James Brownlee who is playing Oedipus and I’d love the chance to work with him again.

I hope that you enjoy this new image as much as I am and please don’t be afraid to leave comments.

Getting 2010 started right...

First blog of 2010 and what better way to start than to share than these two new pieces that I've been keeping in hiding as they were a Christmas gift for they're mom. I'm so proud of these images. This bright and contrast look is direction that I'm going to continue exploring this year.

I'm looking forward to 2010 because I feel like for the first time I have a better understanding of where I want to take my work, who I want to work with and they kind of clients I want to seek out. Already I've been talking with several people about projects that have my excited and I think will provide me with material and subject matter to expand my work in areas it hasn't gone before now.

Happy New Year!

From the archive...

Going through my hard drives with the goal of organization and purging duplicate and ever triplicate copies of the same files I'm finding some old work that I think should have a little attention given to them. Travis came by the studio one afternoon a couple years ago to hang and catch up. It wasn't hard to find an excuse for him to play in-front of the camera. Travis if you're read this... when are you coming back to Austin for a visit? Miss you.

Sharing more...

I want to start sharing more of myself and my work but also the fun little photos I've take throughout the day to capture the moment. I don't want to say "The Photo Of The Day" but I'm going to try my best to post a little something everyday. Lets start right now with a photo of Newton, our little (not so little) and very sweet kitten,


Have a great weekend,
