I received this very cool video from the Image X Workshop coordinators, and I loved seeing the beautiful imagery of the French Quarter in New Orleans. I haven't been back since I went to Jazz Fest, pre-Katrina, and I'm really looking forward to going back. The workshop is set up so that you can sign up for my class and one other photographer's - you can see the rundown of everyone and their classes on the Image X website. I'll also planning to stay for a few extra days to

I am playing catch up with blog posts - mixing in some brand new shoots with a few weddings and portraits (and a lot of editorial!) that I am still catching up with on the blog... I photographed sweet newborn Ellie just a couple days after she got home. New parents Delynn & Mike were just agog over their beautiful baby girl, and I photographed one of my fave-fave-favorites during this shoot - look how stunningly alert baby Ellie was, just days old: But, y'know, also st

The May issue of Endurance Magazine is such a super cool one! It was quite an adventure putting all the photography together, and getting time with some impressive Senators - if you've been following this blog, you've heard a lot about it, lol :) The photography shoots continued after Endurance went to press, now for my Rangefinder Magazine article, which will be out in June. So more to come! This Endurance piece, written by Editor Joe Nuss, is timely and smart - As a li

One last post from the life as an artform workshop in Boston, which was too wonderful! I thank you, again, Jesh, for the honor of inviting me to join in as your guest speaker. We all need more of that gorgeous energy of yours... Once again, Jesh and I both separately photographed our models - this time, sweet Maya and her hilarious brother James. I'm not exactly sure how long the shoot lasted - 8 minutes? 20? 10 hours? No clue, but I had a blast with these two and thei

As part of the wonderful Life As An Artform workshop this week, Jesh and I took turns photographing two sets of models to showcase to our awesome group how two photographers can work with the same people, similar equipment and yet be true to their own selves. First up was Tony & Anna, who also happened to be wedding photographers and also happened to be gorgeously in love with each other after 3 years of marriage... And since this was a workshop designed to show how you

Eva the songwriter visited us up here in Boston, during a workshop that I am honored to have been asked to contribute to, even as I still learn so much myself. There are so many times that I see someone and I already know how I'd best like to photograph them, a specific image jumps into my mind - and I know exactly how I want to go about portraying them. Other times, everything unfolds naturally with no preconceived plans or ideas. And, sometimes - like today - I have the

Michelle Obama spoke to the largest crowd that's turned out yet to meet her when she visited Raleigh. Nearly 6,000 people filled the Reynolds Coliseum at NC State to hear Senator Obama's wife talk about her thoughts on him as a person and as the possible next President of the United States. It was a highly-charged crowd that gathered, and she did not disappoint with her message of hope, realism, and who people are "when nobody's looking". I'd like to say thanks to John &am

I found out yesterday that there is a big difference covering a political rally and the associated events as press versus actually working for a campaign directly as a photographer. They are both very cool (at least to me!), just different. I had the great pleasure of traveling through North Carolina and spending the day with the Obama campaign yesterday. We started in Raleigh for a closed door fundraiser and a town hall meeting and then raced out to Greenville, where we
