The beginning of something.

I recently photographed a beautiful home for some friends of the family, with the intention of creating an illusional landscape like I've done in the past. Here are the initial images. The final product will follow sometime in August.

Balloons for you.

Here are the balloon portraits that I took of Maggie. There photos tuned into the collaborative project with Maggie and Nelle.

Maquoketa: Adventure Iowa

John and I went for a little jaunt in Maquoketa, Ia. After briefly panicking when Garmin lead us astray on to a VERY unkept road, we arrived relatively unscathed at a little piece of paradise. The caves were beautiful, cool and dare I say – rugged. Here is what I took from the day. I published a photo essay with captions in the Little Village this month. Check it out. I don't think it's on the interweb..... but find it in print at many Iowa City locations. 

New Collaborative Project Pics

Here are so initial images from the collaborative project my two beautiful friends and I have started. 

Back story: The lovely Maggie Voss and I headed out one day with a fist full of inflated balloons and a polarizing filter – those photos are on the way. We soon realized that the photos had narrative potential and invited our friend the wicked sexy Nelle Dunlap to jump into the story as well as the creative process. We are using all of our respective skills to put together a beautiful story of making your way in the world, greed and the treacherous path we take. The story and meanings are evolving as the time passes. Enjoy the still images to start. Eventually there will be a website, animation and a book at the hands of Maggie and Nelle. 

Also, these are RAW images. No retoughing yet. Just wanted to put them out there.
