Mowing Break


I have been wanting to capture this photo for a while now. I have lived all over the country and everywhere I have been there have been times I am driving around town and run across this very same scene. A dude with a beer belly mowing his lawn with his dog hanging out in the yard watching....sometimes with a case of beer on the sidewalk as well. Pictured here is that moment I have witnessed so many times but the mower is taking a break and drinking a beer with his dog looking on.

Visually,

SWAT movie poster and Artists and Creatives


Here is my movie poster photo of a SWAT team. This is one of my favs.....Shot this in a factory....PS work was done by my buddy Dan Kopton over at Danklife retouching. I have also just recently been tossed on the roster of Artists and Creatives out of NYC they are also the top commercial photography agents in the country...they are awesome and lots of fun. This photo has opened up a ton of other projects that I am working on including some video...yeah video...and some living one sheets. I'll be posting that stuff much later on like in October or something. Keep on the look out for my next projects I'll post on here. Remember....contact my reps over at AC so they can send you out my book.

Visually,

Transitions Project



Transitions is a 200-word narrative and portrait feature I have been working on for the past year or so...Brian Voerding teamed up with me to take on the challenge of writing the stories behind the peoples lives we meet. We approach strangers in public places, talk with them about their lives, and photograph them.  These two pictures are a few of my favorites. 

I don't want to give away too much here since we are planning on publishing these photos later on when the project is complete so I won't give names.

The woman on the street with her dog was great...we were walking around Minneapolis feeling really down on our luck finding someone that would let us into their lives and then take their picture. We stumbled upon her and it was like she was surrounded by a beam of light and I swear the clouds opened up and a big thunder roared through the air. We had a very long stop and chat and found out she is a local fashion designer and loves her dog Ruby very much (pictured here). Her story is great and can't wait till we publish it so you can find out more about her.

The guy in the photo is Railroad Randy , thats the name he goes by and the name everyone knows him as. What a character this guy was...we spotted him riding his bike down Hennepin ave and I we both looked at each other and said..."yeah...lets talk to that guy". We had so much fun talking to this guy besides the half hour wait outside the movie store for him to come out. I love this type of work...it's so spontaneous, there is no artificial lighting involved...its just me, my camera and the person that has just let me into their life. What else is so great is after our conversations with them they really relax and let themselves go...they reveal the real them to my camera...I love it.

Keep on the lookout for more as I continue to post them within the next year or so.

The Runner


Just got finished up with my Runner photo pictured above.  I have to say this was one of my more challenging shoots as I had to get all the lighting perfect and the model  just lined up in camera till i could start firing off some frames. I had the idea in my head for a while that this was something I wanted to capture and it just so happens it worked out just like I planned it.
