head•shot: (n.) A photograph of the head. Not a very flattering description is it? Unfortunately, many photographs of the head are not very flattering either. But singers, musicians and actors must hire photographers to take their photo for use as a virtual introduction to potential employers. Personally, I think headshot is a stale term, and [...]

Bit o’ this, bit o’ that
As you can tell from my site, I do a wide variety of things. When it comes to photography I think my style comes through no matter what I’m aiming at, but I shoot just about anything. Here are a few shots that demonstrate that.
Falling for London
I’ve been to London twice. Both times were film-related visits and very short stays. Lately I find myself longing to return. I’ve made friends there and get a creative buzz whenever I think of the place. While creating the film we traveled to London to interview Guy Andrews of Rouleur Magazine, Johnny Green (former road [...]
The Human Race
In 2007, I had the opportunity to photograph the Marine Corp Marathon held in Washington, D.C. Waiting at the finish line for the runners to arrive, I wondered what to expect. How would I react to them? And them to me and my camera? Not surprisingly, some shied away from the camera. But the vast [...]

Road To Roubaix soundtrack
One of my favorite parts of the process of making my film Road To Roubaix was producing the soundtrack by composer Paul O’Brien. Paul is a supremely talented composer and his soundtrack lends so much to our film. See the trailer above for the film’s main theme track. Here’s a particularly colorful review by one [...]
Color is cool.
Designing a media kit can be a touch dry. Lots of sales figures, statistics, graphs and of course more text than should ever be put onto one page. So that was my challenge—and I love a challenge. This is the T+D Magazine media kit for 2009. A glorious colorful—dare I say clever?—publication designed with one [...]
The one that got away
Running a business is full of heartbreak. And one such heartbreak was a loss of a great client I did a lot of work for. But I’m a big boy. I can deal. The toughest part was when the client decided to discontinue their publication Learning Executive Magazine. I designed this puppy from the ground [...]
What IFF?
I’m proud to count the Impact Film Festival as a client. In fact, I branded the organization and worked with them through their first year with design for the festival which took place at both the Democratic and Republican national conventions. I also wrote the tagline for those events: Where Film Crosses the Aisle. I [...]
This baby is green.
Joyababy! Great name, yes? It demands to be shouted—joyously. My client Joyababy isn’t just a pretty name, they’ve got great products and a great philosophy. Keep it green. I developed this insert for their über-clever diaper clutch. It had to be as cool as the products are and get the green message across. Did I [...]
EBK Crown Release
Hear ye, hear ye! A new King/Queen/Prince/Princess has been crowned by Ellie Bellie Kids! I serve as the full-service creative resource for Ellie Bellie Kids. Photographer, Designer, Webmaster, etc. Just recently they’ve launched a new product. Quite clever, this new product is a screen-printed crown. I’ve scoured the Web and found nothing like it. But [...]
