A fitting Metaphor possibly. But this looks as though they have a plan to fix what's wrong... #dc #dctour #capitalbuilding #capitalbuildingdc ##dome #dcconstruction #washingtondc #congress

Dome of the Capital Building DC. Iphone pano. Didn't realize we would see the effects of the work on the Dome on the inside. Took my Mom, Steve and Annette here over the holiday. Makes me think of a giant powdered donut... #dc #powdereddonught #capitalbuilding #iphonepano #dctour

16mm reel. This rusted reel holds some of the first motion film I ever shot. I bought the real off eBay a long time ago. It wasn't till later after I'd become a photographer and was shooting digital for so long that I saw this in a different light and for the metaphor it became. While film is long from dead I do not think I will be shooting 16mm motion film again. #16mm #16mmfilm #filmreel #filmisnotdead #film #motionpicturefilm #motionfilm #personalwork #rustedreel #rust

Nail farmers. I did a couple of conceptual pieces based on a story I wrote a while back. The project hasn't been abandoned and I hope to return to it at some point. One character is a carpenter hammer the other is a rock hammer. I'm sure some correlation could be made as I spent time as a carpenter and my father was a geologist. Everything was shot separate. In fact I photographed the setting the people and the sky first and then waited about 6 months for my nails to rust properly before photographing them. #conceptual #digitalillustration #composite #nailfarmers #personalwork #tbt #digitalphotography #hammerheads

Last Mantis - At the end of the fall in New Mexico these guys come out of the wood work. You can see the effects of the freezing nights on his eye. As much as I wanted to find one of these as a kid, it wasn't till I was in my mid-thirties before I saw one that wasn't part of a collection. Photographed him on my desk with a sheet of typing paper for my background then put him back out on my porch where I found him. #prayingmantis #mantis #macrophotography #insect #insectphotography

Eastern Hercules beetle, Dynastes tityus. Found this guy at a park in Alexandria back in 2006. He was the first insect I tried to preserve and mount but I didn't know what I was doing. He was lost to ignorance. But he was certainly the impetus too educate myself. #easternherculesbeetle #beetle #herculesbeetle #rhinocerousbeetle #insect #macrophotography #insectphotography #dynastestityus #bug #bugphotography

Atlantic Horseshoe crab, Limulus Polyphemus, from Rehoboth Beach. Going back through work for new print portfolio. Only my fascination with Cicadas (maybe Triceratops, its a tough call) has been around longer than my fascination with the Horseshoe Crab. Cicadas were just more tangible than the other two. No ocean in Oklahoma. #horseshoecrab #rehobothbeach #personalwork #Delaware

Finally digging into the pics from the Benton PA fly-in I attended a few weeks back. I had a white seamless set up in a hangar for portraits but I managed to sneak a few shots of aircraft from my cave. People had moved into the hangar to avoid the rain but the roar of an engine and they bolted out to see what was flying by. It was awesome. #bentonpa #t6texan #flyin #aviation #aviationphotography #blackandwhite

Washington Post - Creating the New Washington
This project wrapped back in June but it I spent a lot of time scouting and testing to make sure I didn't drop the ball on this one. I am so glad that its finally seen the light of day. Diana Hoskins, Marc Ratner and Amer Hammour were all great to work with and I think it shows in the photos. Each portrait posed its own list of logistics as all shoots do, but it's always nice when looked at in a group they are still cohesive. I think the most stressful part of the project was finding dynamic shots of cranes for the cover. Thank you Washington Post for the great assignment!

Appomattox - Plastic Camera
A few additional Diana shots from my time in Appomattox.
Appomattox Train Station and Visitor Center
Restaurant Choices on Confederate Blvd.
Flags at the Museum of the Confederacy
Thomasville Factory that closed shop a number of years ago employed a lot of Appomattox.
Riddle on the Harp - Website - This trio played a wonderful set for the Summer series put on by the Appomattox 1865 Foundation as a fund raiser - They played a number of Civil War era tunes some that sounded vaguely familiar and others that I was just being introduced to.
Downtown Appomattox - A little digital assist on this one. Obviously the Diana shoots square format, so I shot a few vertical frames and compiled a panorama in photoshop. I wasn’t sure if the magazine was looking for a vertical opener so I shot one that I knew I could manipulate in post. It goes against the aesthetics we agreed upon so it doesn’t surprise me it didn’t make the cut.
