The Power of Professional Architectural Photography: Benefits and ROI

Commercial photography is an essential element of marketing for architects and homebuilders. It is an art that requires skill, creativity, and a keen eye for detail to capture the essence of the building’s design, functionality, and ambiance. It is the perfect way to showcase the architectural features, finishes, and craftsmanship of a building to potential […]

How Photographing Animals Taught Me the Beauty of Connection and the Power of Storytelling

I would have never described myself as an animal lover, either in my personal or professional life. As a photographer, I have always been drawn to capturing the essence of my human subjects. Each person has their own unique emotional makeup, wounds, and history which shapes who they are and how they interact with the […]

Life Lessons and the Game of Chess

Life is like a game of chess, with every move we make influencing the outcome of the game. Each decision we take, no matter how small or big, can change the course of our lives forever. And, much like in chess, we must think multiple steps ahead to make the best of what we have. […]

Little Man – Documenting Childhood

The other evening I had the honor of teaching Little Man how to shave the proper way! Not only was he excited about being grown up, but he seemed to possess an air of mesmerization at the almost-ritualistic practice. Sure, call me clichéd or a shutter happy parent…but I am a father and proud of […]

The faces behind homeless pee

We see them in our cities, and more and more in smaller towns. They ask us for money. We get annoyed. We sometimes get angry. But, we mostly get apathetic, preferring to look the other way so as to avoid the inner debate of whether to stop, whether to help, whether to even care. A […]

It’s not about the fish or executing perfect skill; it’s about family, friends, and the priceless memories we make.

Yesterday morning, my brother and I headed out on what was supposed to be a 15-mile canoe and kayak journey, I with high hopes of capturing some photography along the way. (See…it’s called dedication — even when I’m completely soaked while paddling in the middle of nowhere through a chilly downpour, I’m still looking for […]

The Ultimate Camera – If Only It Existed

Every day we encounter situations where the thought “If only…” runs through our minds. If only they made practical flying cars…If only I had unlimited funds…If only women could know what it’s like, just once, to get kicked in the nuts… But, alas, very seldom do our wishes come true. This camera, however, is one […]

Happy Fifth Birthday, Pumpkin!

I can’t believe that five years ago today our lives were blessed by the emergence of our beautiful daughter into this wide world. There has been so much laughter, so many tears, and many more wonderful memories that will be cherished forever. I love you, Pumpkin, and am so happy and blessed to be your […]

WACO: The Rules of Engagement (Review)

PREFACE: Over the last several years I have become a big fan of foreign films, documentaries…and Rita’s Italian Ice. This piece is not politically- or religiously-motivated but is meant to simply inform you of an amazing film project. Anyone else ever get bored with TV? Recently I was trying to settle our son for bed, […]

My Greatest [Creative] Weakness

Whether or not you like to admit it, each of us have weaknesses of some variety and intensity. We don’t like people to see our imperfections and often go to great lengths to camouflage our shortcomings. Dating relationships are a perfect example of this, but as anyone who’s married will concur, sooner or later your […]
