BEST OF 2011
Ive been in Japan for the past few weeks so the annual “Best Of” post has been postponed until now. 2011 seemed to come and go in a breeze. Check out my brief year-end wrap up and 100 of my favorite images made in the year 2011 after the jump.
MOVEMENT OF KINGZ
Back in September I had the pleasure of photographing four talented musical artists from Movement of Kingz Entertainment at Houston Skyline Studios in Houston’s Warehouse District. We had a limited time to shoot, but managed to pull off several different looks for the guys. The crew from Vicious Films was on hand and produced an awesome behind the scenes piece from the shoot. Check out the behind the scenes video and the resulting images inside!
SUMMERFEST 2011
It seems like it’s been forever since last year’s Free Press Houston Summerfest and corresponding post. (Click here to visit last year’s blog post and relive Summerfest 2010) This year sort of snuck up on me. Regardless of my personal thoughts on the actual acts themselves, I’m proud to say that each year since its [...]
SXSW 2010
It’s almost been a week since I departed Houston for Austin and the live music mecca that is South by Southwest, yet it still feels like I’m recovering. It’s mostly the severe seasonal allergies, but the journey wore me out, like it does every year, but like every year, I had a blast and saw [...]
BACKSTAGE WITH PLANET FUNK
I spent some time this past Saturday afternoon with longtime client, Planet Funk Academy at the Wortham Center in Houston’s theater district as they prepared to take the stage. I have photographed the renowned dance academy for nearly 5 years now and although the faces have changed, the energy is still the same. During my [...]

DESTINATION: QATAR
I’ve been pretty busy lately and have much to catch up on the blog world. I still need to update my blog with my stuff from Africa, Brazil and my story completed at the Eddie Adams Workshop last month, but this post is devoted to a rather interesting trip I took last week to Qatar [...]
WARPED TOUR 2009
Yes, this is one of these posts. The ones where I preface my blog entry by apologizing for my absence and saying that it won’t happen again, but it’s bound to. At least I have a good excuse. For the past month now Ive been in Brasil with a 10-day visit to Africa. There are [...]
MORE PORTRAITS!
I’ve had a rather busy week catching up on pretty much everything, toiling over contest entries and shooting. This week is the first week I think I’ve shot more stills than video with the new 5D II. First it was Sunday with Lacey and today it was Shawn. I had a noon assignment for the [...]
NEW PORTRAITS
Today I got to sleep in (not like that’s unusual or anything) and meet up with the lovely Lacey Grantz. I have done portraits of Lacey in the past and had a blast then, and this time was no different. She is a doll and so easy to work with. We shot a variety of [...]
LIVE MUSIC FUN
I’m totally on a blogging spree today. Tonight my boy Stef aka P.O.S. came to town with Saosin and Underoath and another hokey new metal band that all the kids like. Stef is a hip-hop artist and it’s always lovely to see him open for punk/metal acts. All of the 15-18 year old kids smashed [...]
WARPED TOUR
I haven’t been doing a lot of shooting recently so naturally yesterday’s all day extravaganza at the 2008 Warped Tour was a welcomed return to shooting stills. My buddy Cameron and I made the trek out to Sam Houston Race Park, a horse racing venue that has recently started holding concerts at its location. Cameron [...]
SXSW 2008
Last Thursday my great friends Rathan, Chris and I drove to Austin in a spontaneous effort to take in a day-full of Austin’s yearly (and world famous) music festival South by Southwest. Ive been a few times in the past, however never have I totally indulged in the full two weeks of mayhem the festival [...]
