Guess where I was today…

Thanks for the great assistance, Dan!

Where’s Waldo?

Wow; I still find this photo amazing because it shows what it is like to be a photographer in Nashville. This photo is a little bit different than most of the events I shoot because I was the official photographer for the event and all the other people you see behind me are the media and wire photographers from everywhere you can imagine… hence my killer spot to shoot from.

I’m mainly posting this for my buddy Zach, because I was trying to describe this phenomenon to him recently and just couldn’t do it justice with words. I’m grateful Ryan was able to grab this shot of the insanity that is sometimes my life.

Water Location Portraits

Back in the summer, I shot a series of portraits for a young, aspiring musician on location at a small local stream. I love the photos, especially this one. I was reviewing some images shot over the last couple of years and I just love the lighting on this one; turned out really well.

I like this one, too. All light provided by the Creator of the universe. :)

Cockroach on a Cracker

My daughter found this little guy (not in our house, but outside the home of another person) and caught it to be a subject for my photos; wasn’t that sweet?
Since I love taking photos that evoke some sort of emotion, I thought I’d take one just for you people who get chills down your spine when you look at a bug. Think of this little guy the next time you munch on a cracker. Enjoy!

Too cool not to blog about…

I’ve been having problems with exhaustion and headaches for a while now, so I went to see my doctor who sent me to an oral surgeon to remove the mandibular tori under my tongue. The thought was that it might help with the sleep apnea. During the follow up to that surgery, the surgeon mentioned that he may be able to cure my sleep apnea! It would be a surgery that would require my jaw and lower part of my skull to be cut and advanced forward–a procedure called Mandibular Advancement. Sounds like fun, right? It would require my jaw to be wired shut for six weeks after the surgery. Pictured (left) is a composite of what that procedure involves. Yikes!

Well that’s not the “cool thing” I wanted to write about today. As a part of the work-up to determine if the surgery will help me, the doctor ordered a series of x-rays of my skull. One of those x-rays is called a Cephalometric X-ray (pictured below) and is very cool because it shows both flesh and bone in the profile! I have a very attractive skull underneath all this ugly! I’ve already gotten compliments on how nice my skull is. Maybe I should frame this and hang it in my office to prove that I actually am attractive, it’s just beneath the surface.

Young Couple, Loving Memories

My favorite shot from a recent shoot. Perfectly captured, real moment. You can see the love they have for one another. Love the retro ’70s feel of this one, too.

Movie poster/DVD cover featuring one of my photos.

Well, yes, and no…

I found one of my images being used for a cinematic movie poster for a new movie release called “ABDUCTION”, Directed by John Singleton. Starring Taylor Lautner, Lily Collins, Alfred Molina.

Right… well, it appeared that way at first. It seems there has been some major mix-up online, whereby the movie poster for another movie with the same name has mistakenly been associated with this new movie. The actual movie the image was used for is called “ABDUCTION” also and it turns out to be a terrible, low-budget, indie horror film.

I was excited for about 5 minutes thinking I was going to see some movie posters in cinemas across the country featuring one of my images. Instead, it will be on DVD cases collecting dust or being watched by unsuspecting teenage-Saturday-night-movie-watchers looking for a scary movie. The movie looks horrible and I wouldn’t watch it, but it has a cool factor just because it is on the cover of the DVD and the movie posters and it looks pretty awesome. The graphic designer must have had good taste in choosing high-quality photos. :)
