feet first + blogshop | the goat farm atlanta.

I regularly read the Designlovefest blog by Bri Emery.  I love all her graphics and thoughts and creative design.  So when I found out she and Angela Kohler of Angela and Ithyle were putting on a workshop, Blogshop, to integrate photography and design into a blog, I knew I wanted to attend.  After some correspondences [...]

Inspiration | Floataway Studios

Thank you, Floataway Studios, for this stunning picture, and sharing these lovely words. “I believe that the photographer’s job is to cut a frame-sized slice out of the world around him, so faithfully and honestly that if he were to put it back, life and the world would begin to move again without a stumble.” [...]

Inspiration | Strength in Failure by David duChemin

Famed humanitarian photographer, David duChemin speaks about his experience falling off a 20-30ft wall in Italy.  I first heard of him when Junshien bought me the awesome book, Within the Frame.  David’s words resonated with me, and beyond that book reading his blog, he continues to be an inspiration both for photography and for life.

Inspiration | Heroes by Alec Vanderboom

My sister-in-law once asked me if I would shoot her baby’s birth story.  She never asked me again, but I’ve been thinking about it ever since.  I’m really excited if I can be there, since I’ve never been able to be at the hospital for the birth of anyone.  I’m even more excited to capture [...]

time

It’s rare that I am up this early in the day.  I am a night owl by nature and struggle to wake up in the morning, yet this is my most favorite time of day. It’s been pitch black for hours, but as the light begins to stream through the blinds on my window, I [...]
