Our documentary, “The Messenger: 360 Days of Bolivar” was chosen as an official selection in the 2009 Boomtown Film [...]
CHRON FAVS 1
As a regular freelancer for The Houston Chronicle, a major metro daily, nearly half a million people see my pictures from day to day, but the next day many of the photos are either used as kindling, pooped on by pets or recycled. Of course they are archived by me, but are rarely shown. It [...]
SXSW 2009
Well, this year I actually applied for media credentials in time for SXSW which meant it was justified to spend more than a day or two in Austin during the annual South by Southwest festival. SXSW has a film and interactive aspect that I really wanted to make it out to especially since I am [...]

THE GREAT SLOT DEBATE
Its been a while since I’ve posted on this (primary) blog. My music reviews/photos have re-spawned into a new blog called http://whatdoyoumeanimnotonthelist.blogspot.com and given the frequency of live music I’ve witnessed in the past few weeks, that blog has seen more action. It’s mostly a me thing, but hey if I can serve a purpose [...]
AFTERMATH
I am slowly but surely getting my images and projects from the past few weeks edited and posted. Tonight I edited a few images from an essay I shot in my hometown of Galveston, Texas of the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. I only had a few hours on the island since they were still under [...]
HANNA HOLD ON
I’m actually listening to The Get Up Kids song named “Hannah Hold On” right now. I thought it was fitting as I was very excited to have Hanna’s might serve as a gateway to some nice moments, images, and maybe more, but alas she was but a fake as I suspected. Last night in the [...]
PPC FIRST WEEK
So yesterday was the magically Internet hook-up day for me at my new Baltimore City place. It was a long time coming as life is frustrating when you are in a new place, away from friends and family, without Internet. Ive been working at Patuxent Publishing Company for a week now and it has been a ride so [...]
THE MESSENGER
I’ve been working on the set of the docu-drama The Messenger: 360 Days of Bolivar for months now.

We are currently in the process of putting together a few trailers for the project, which [...]
RIO
