Sometimes you walk into a situation as a photographer with the task and instructions to capture something as you see it, or as it is. That can be as simple or as complicated as you make it quite frankly can be some of the most fun photo assignments around. Little tricks of the trade, all…Read More
About two weeks ago I got a phone call from a really excited Jody Grober at Roberts Camera here in Indianapolis about a new piece of gear they just got in called: The CamRanger. With a name like that I was instantly interested, but had absolutely no idea what this thing did so after getting…Read More
I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned it several times here on the blog that I am responsible for quite a bit of the photography and videography centered around nursing at the Indianapolis Star Newspaper. I work on projects like the Indiana Nursing Quarterly magazine, as well as the Komen Race for the cure among others. One…Read More
To my dismay the blog has been silent for a few weeks. There usually ends up being a break in the blog action this time of year, but this seems like an unnaturally long one. Been doing a lot of video for the Star lately and I can’t complain. In fact the clients can’t complain…Read More
For months now the Indianapolis star has been receiving emails of nominations form hospitals around the state of Indiana nominating nurses for coveted awards through the newspaper. These awards have been happening now for 10+ years, so they aren’t going away either. We got over 1100 nominations this year for awards with titles like, “Inspiration…Read More
Almost a year ago two things happened that totally changed my world. The first and most importantly being a little over a year ago, my engagement to Shannon; the love of my life.

It frustrated my mom and dad so much that at…Read More
I’m not much of a point and shoot user despite that Shannon bought me an Olympus E-PL1 last year for Christmas. Don’t get me wrong I carry the thing wherever we go, but I’ve been spoiled by the image qualities of the D3, the D4, the 1D series cameras in general and so forth. As…Read More
It’s funny how things work out sometimes. Sometimes memories can be fostered by sights, smells, old assignment sheets, requests for retro media, or even just visiting someplace you haven’t been in years. Yesterday I had to shoot some photos in a subdivision in a part of Indianapolis that I hadn’t been to in years, but…Read More
A year ago this week, was one of the busiest weeks I’ve ever worked at the newspaper doing one of the coolest things I never thought I’d ever do. I was covering a Superbowl. Superbowl XLVI specifically. Thanks to a scheduling error I didn’t have a credential for inside the game causing me to be…Read More
