Recently shot the lovely, fellow Michigan native Kristen Bell for Stella. We had some laughs comparing our now defunct midwest accents. Also had the opportunity to shoot some amazing fog off hwy 58 (near Bakersfield) during a shoot for OnEarth magazine.

For those of you who are particularly fond of my night landscapes, I made a Blurb book!!!! Its available for purchase at the blurb website. I was a little nervous about the reproduction, but was thrilled with the final result when I got my copy. If you decide to purchase, enjoy!

update

2009-07-01T15:38:00.000-07:00

Just shot an Old Country Buffet Campaign for Doner Detroit. Outtakes to come soon, but lets just say I had the privilege of shooting a guy in a giant bee costume. It was very memorable.
Also shot a quick Burger King advertorial for Crispin, Porter + Bogusky. Ad will appear in Rolling Stone in the coming months.
In the meantime, since I feel the need to post photos I decided to include some older shots which I've always liked which never made it onto my website or portfolios.

Just shot Christina Hendricks of Madmen for The London Sunday Telegraph. She was very nice and low key. I just finished season 1 and had to ask her about all the cigarette smoking. She said they are herbal and disgusting!

Last month I decided to enter the critical mass photo competition out of Portland. Final voting has taken place and I'm starting to see great feedback on blogs. I am also blown away by some of the work. Its been exciting and nerve racking waiting for the final results!

Some feedback and imagery here:

Surface magazine was recently in touch and asked me if I wanted to be a part of their special 10 year Avant Guardian anniversary issue. I accepted and shot this story a few weeks ago at the Brosnon Canyon Caves. The issue is on the stands this Novemeber.

I love San Francisco in August! Not only was it a welcome change of scenery, the fog was in full effect. The shot on the left was taken in the Presidio while I battled the wind, rain, cold and general creepiness of the area. The shot on the right was taken in Ocean Beach.

2008-09-22T20:05:00.000-07:00

I had the honor and great pleasure of photographing Ernie Banks aka..."Mr. Cubs" for Time Out Chicago. Needless to say---not a dull moment throughout the entire shoot. My favorite part was when I called his cell to schedule the shoot and a sexy Barry White song played while my "party was being reached."

fashion shoot for PREEN magazine

2008-04-16T10:06:00.000-07:00

I know its been a while since I shot fashion, but there was no way I was going to pass up the opportunity to shoot at the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve. All the poppys were in bloom which made for an amazing location! Thanks so much to Avena, my incredible stylist. You can see her work here and my amazing model Stella, who's such a pro. She is with Next models.
Also wanted to give thanks to Heather at The Photo Department for setting it all up! The story will run this summer. Here are some polaroids from the shoot. YES, I AM still shooting film!!!!
