Most recent work :: Project Descriptions

Lately I have realized that the biggest, or most important project that I have been working on for the past 11 years has been my son Emmett. At the time of his birth I could never have dreamed of the obsticals which were ahead. Recently I traveled to Gettysburg with Emmett's 5th grade class. For me this trip was filled with metaphor that seemed to parallel the course that I am on with by son. No matter how challenging this journey can be, it has been worth every minute.

I was invited to speak at the Society for Photographic Education : 2016 National Conference in Las Vegas this year. The topic of discussion was how to best move a photography program into teaching video.

Lately I have been documenting my son's everyday life with my phone. I have been teaching myself video shooting and editing processes as I do this. Here is a project that I shot and edited in iMovie on my phone. It's amazing how powerful the tools within the phone have become.
