Rosebud, MO

Female reporter: "If you could've found out what Rosebud meant, I bet that would've explained everything."

Thompson: "No, I don't think so; no. Mr. Kane was a man who got everything he wanted and then lost it. Maybe Rosebud was something he couldn't get, or something he lost. Anyway, it wouldn't have explained anything... I don't think any word can explain a man's life. No, I guess Rosebud is just a... piece in a jigsaw puzzle... a missing piece."

felipe goodbye

the first of many!

Fiddler's gathering

Saturday night I photographed a monthly fiddler's gathering of sorts, in Hallsville, MO. Interesting people and great regional folk tunes. I can't really complain about my job sometimes.

photo booth

Setting up a photo booth at my wedding was a great idea. It allowed people to get loose and it kept them entertained, at what is usually a pretty boring event. Here are a few that I found interesting because people were unaware that the shutter was being clicked.

You can see all the pics here.

memories

These are two very special pictures. They represent a monumental event in my life. By looking at them, I will be reminded that what was once two, is now one.

Derby, IN

Salt of the earth. I just can't get enough of it.

Photographing "change"

The Obama circus came to Columbia late last week. I was not sure I wanted to deal with the frenzy of being there, but I am glad that I did.

Rock Island, TN

I spent last weekend with some wonderful folks in a secluded cabin in Tennessee. I tried photographing with my emotions, instead of my eyes – paying special attention to mood and texture.
