Easily my favorite "switching to flash, still had the shutter speed too high" test frame of all time.
Don't even recall what event this was. I could check, but... hey, that would ruin the magic.

Easily my favorite "switching to flash, still had the shutter speed too high" test frame of all time.
Don't even recall what event this was. I could check, but... hey, that would ruin the magic.
Light was fading on a long walk with family back to the Airbnb, but I just had to run across the street, climb some broken stairs, and shoot over a fence for this.
I remember the feeling of anticipation at that second, really crossing fingers I'd caught a moment as balanced as I hoped.
...I think this happened while kneeling on some hidden stairs along the side of a classroom, waiting for conference attendees to arrive?
That sounds right. And I kinda like it.
End of a long day. Shooting an awards dinner of some kind.
Back to the car, everyone's long gone. Silent campus. Eerily peaceful.
20+ frames iterating on the concept, and the best was an accidental moment pulling the camera down.
Gotta let the shot be what it wants to be.
Seen while having lunch mid-shoot outside in a weird, disused staff area of a UNC library.
Some hidden areas inside were clearly untouched since the '80s. It was delightful.
As it says, good • day.
Still far too many life priorities to juggle, and ADHD+depression never makes it easy... but damn it, I miss photography for its own sake. Not just for work.
Got some real fun stuff exporting for y'all.
When a shoot gives you the chance to check out some weird abandon spaces, you never pass on that chance.
I love the strange, inverted challenge of drone shoots.
Normally where you can be is so limited, but you need to make the most of it... and suddenly with a drone you can be anywhere, at any height, at any time, and now have to find the exact optimum angles.
...wait, we have a house? When did I get old?
Mortgages and responsibilities and installing stuff is weird, sure... but Salvatore the Cat can now up his lying-in-sunbeams/watching bunnies out the window game, so it’s more than worth it.
Post-quarantine work has been getting crazy again, and life is busy, but I can’t wait to get out and start shooting for myself again.
Here – let’s call the bird a metaphorical representation of frustration when tumblr reblogs a humor blog post onto the art blog for no reason.
Like I said, I'm sure not Ansel Adams... but I'm cheaper, and not dead.
Both taken via indoor drone flight (with all requisite safety and certification) for the historical documentation project.
Some excepts from a client’s historic preservation project. A largely-abandoned church, soon to be replaced with affordable housing... easily one of my favorite shoots, ever.
