This is an edit I did of one of my cousins that is a big Avatar fan. Thought it'd be fun to try to do.

Fire's Fickle Fury

This is a long exposure of a small fire we made while hanging out on the porch last night. I added a brightness contrast mask and a colorized saturation mask.

Kansan Lights

Last night we hung out on my porch as the sun went down and made the most beautiful colors in the sky. The only photo that I added some saturation to is the middle one of the power lines down the alley, and only a little since it was just a less interesting part of a very interesting sky.

Lieutenant Dan

I met and shot the actor Gary Senise down at Fort Riley. He was performing a USO concert with his band in honor of Children of the Military Month. He is a pretty chill guy, he even recognized a soldier he had met two years ago in Iraq at one of his older USO shows.

Happy Earth Day

This is an illustration I did for a story about earth day.

Up in smoke

I was riding around with a friend, Joel, shooting stuff for a PR assignment about irrigation and water stuff in the land North of Manhattan and came across this fire. I wanted to shoot it then I saw the guy starting the fire and HAD to shoot it. The flames were SO HOT! At one point a turkey flew out of the flames, sadly I didn't have my telephoto handy, but this shot came out so well I don't mind.

Star trails by fire light

Another photographer, Sara, and I went cruising around looking for a place to do star trails one night and once we got around the Tuttle Creek lake we noticed that on the other side of the lake there were prairie fires so we set ourselves up across the lake from them. We were worried that the fire might blow out the trails but wanted to give it a shot anyway and it ended up working out really well.

Blooming Darkness

All the blossom trees bloomed recently and this was just a beautiful shot, one of my favorites to this day. It didn't take long for the blossoms to fall off either so this was a one opportunity frame I am glad I found.

April Sky

Just some great frames of the sky just after sunset.

Denis' Lament

After K-State's loss to KU in the Championship game for the Big XII conference Denis Clemente walked back to the locker room with his jersey in his hand and his head hung low.

Jordy Nelson

For anyone that doesn't know, Jordy Nelson is a wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers. He used to play for K-State and I picked up a photo for a feature on him to go into the K-Stater magazine.

Hell hath no fury

This is an illustration I did as a secondary for a piece on the roommate from hell.

A stop or two down

Just a pretty sky underexposed.

Starlight, Starbright

Long exposures on my roof.

Checking My Blind Spot

Out of focus light reflected in a car mirror.

Moon Lit

On my way home after work one night I saw this beautiful moon lit cloudy sky.

Konza

These are some shots I got out on the Konza as the sun went down.

She Has Hair in Her Face

Just one of my favorite studio shots, I like the emotion, how you don't really know if she is happy or sad or anything really. This is just one of those photos I could look at for a long time.

History Returns

These are some of my shots from the KU vs K-State game this fall where the Wildcats beat the Jayhawks. I like the faces and the little bit of blood.

Dirty Dancing

This is a shot from a music festival called Country Stampede. I was up to my knees in mud at one point, but come on, how cute is this?

Framed

This was a shot to go with a story about the progress of the construction of an apartment complex. I climbed to the top of a five or so story tower that pretty much had nothing but scaffolding inside it to get this shot, very worth it.

I wonder what kind of singer he is... Gangster rap?

This is a shot I got at a Christian band concert. I was getting the same boring concert shots everybody gets until I noticed the lighting behind him was in these rectangular shapes. I set my flash to 2nd curtain sync, meaning the flash goes off twice in one frame (A weak burst at the begining and a stronger one at the end) and I aimed horizontally at the lights, fired, and twisted vertically to the singer. This was the end result.

Awesome Timing

This is a shot I got at the KSU vs OU game this fall. Whenever there is a kick off these guys fire off these guns and I timed it perfectly!

EMAW

These guys painted "Every man a wildcat" across their chests for the KU vs. K-State football game this past fall.

Rhino

This was taken after a tornado passed through Manhattan, KS the Summer of 2008. When I went to get this guy's information he asked if I wanted his real name or his nick name to which I answered "Real name", to which he quickly replied "I'm going to give you my nick name." He pointed to a tattoo on his arm and said "Rhino!"

Camera Obscura

This is a shot where I blocked out all light in my room except through a 50mm lens attached to my window. This projected and inverted image of my back yard onto my wall that I could focus. I set up a 10D on a timer with the shutter button taped down on a bulb exposure for about 7 hours.

Leafy Life Lines

These are some macro shots I took of two different leaves. I don't have a macro lens so I did the "flip the lens" trick and placed them on a soft box to light the cells of the leaves.

Someone Needs to Call That...

This is a shot I took at the K-State volleyball game at OU this last fall. It is my favorite volleyball shot I've taken.

Spotting Cancer

This is a picture of cancer cells I took at a research lab at K-State. I just decided to hold my camera up to the microscope and see what would happen and it worked out really well.

Painting a Picture

I was walking home and saw this beautiful woman painting the railings across from my work and couldn't pass up the photo opp.

Gay Ass Love

I took this at an counter protest against the Westboro Baptist Church (The Fred Phelps people) just outside of the Alumni Center at K-State. The Phelps clan never showed up.

Skater Daze

I got this shot at a skate park in Manhattan, KS. I wanted to take advantage of the overcast sky but I was afraid nobody would show up because of them. I didn't have to wait very long and this guy showed up.

Pilot Pic

I took this on assignment at an antique air show in Junction City, KS. This man was giving air rides in an 80 year old open cockpit biplane. I didn't have much room to move and shot this blind over my shoulder.

Olympic Chef

This is a portrait I took of a chef that cooked for the athletes during the 2008 Olympics. I did it in a pitch black room, I rigged up five hula hoops as guides and traced them with a flashlight with different gels then strobed my subject.
