Wow. It’s been a long time since I shot one of these! I never thought laying in freezing cold mud and water…

Been so long since I shared a conceptual photo with the world, so wanted to share this photo I’ve been holding onto for a while…
Took this photo of my little sister, Katherine in El Mirage when she came to visit me in February. It was a brutally cold day in the desert; The lake bed was pretty much abandoned and we could barely get out of the car due to the high winds […]
Do you ever try to substitute the fake thing for the real thing? Every now and then in my life, when I’ve grown tired of the struggle, I try and see what it would feel like to settle for a little while […]
So happy to be back! I have been so busy lately producing my friend Blake’s first film, that I’ve barely had time to turn around, let alone do personal shoots. It’s been a very exciting […]
This is a continuation on my last birdcage concept. Unfortunately the last cage wasn’t able to open on the bottom, so I had to wait until I got my hands on one that did. Driving to this shoot, I was thinking of possible titles for this photo and my mind kept going over this idea of the cage and how many things it could represent. In a way, I think the cage can represent the all of the constructs which […]
Took this photo in Death Valley at the same time as my last photo. I had always wanted to see the dunes so it was a real thrill to shoot them! When we arrived it was so late, I despaired that I wouldn’t be able to get the photo […]
Took this in Badwater Basin in Death Valley last week. I had such an incredible experience being in the desert. I’ve wanted to go for almost 2 years now, so this trip was long overdue. I shot this at dawn with the help of my friend Dan holding the […]
This image is very personal to me. The idea here is that in spite of the beauty of the world, many of us will never truly be free to enjoy it because we are trapped- trapped by dogma, trapped by routine, trapped by our inability to escape their own emotions. I often feel that way myself […]
It’s times like these, when I don’t have a lot of new photography ideas coming in, that I’m thankful I have a backlog of images written down in my notebooks. This is one of the first photo ideas I ever had. I had actually started believing that this photo would only ever exist as an ugly stick figure in a notebook […]
This was shot around the same time as this image and was intended to be a kind of sister image. I wanted to imply a story of a woman whose body is washed ashore after some kind of shipwreck, whose soul then arises and returns to the sea […]
I’ve had this photo in my head for a long time now. Almost a year. It’s strange shooting something you’ve thought about for that long. I was almost nervous when I was prepping the mummy, and then I was so surprised when I was shooting at how different it looked than it did in my mind. You can’t tell, but this was shot at the top of a mountain. I was so grateful to my friend […]
I want to start by thanking everyone who has been patient in following my work through it’s spurts and lags. Some people were asking were I’ve been, and I get the sense that people are sort of confused about why I’m so touch and go about my photography. Although I feel the community on flickr […]
Took this video at my cottage this weekend with the help of my dad and my neighbors, including their daughter Erin who agreed to play the lonely drifter for me. This is sort of an expansion on the idea I had previously created in this photo, but in video version. I’ve been trying to transition into video these past few months, and I’ve been reading a lot and learning a bunch of new programs […]
This will most definitely go down in history as my most dangerous shoot ever. I was so scared to crawl across the melting ice caps at my cottage to get this, I almost didn’t do it! But I knew I’d regret it if I didn’t, and I was right. So thankful not to have fallen through to that ice water below!
