photography for doers and dreamers
Seriously, that’s how our honeymoon started. We flew to Cancun, Mexico, were dropped off at the Blue Bay “Ghetto”-way (Getaway). Little did we know what was in store. Our room wasn’t ready, so after a long flight we were homeless for about 8 hours with no place to go to cool off. We just wanted [...]

As we drove into New Orleans tonight, questions pummeled my mind. Is this the freeway I saw people stranded on? Was this area under water? Could it all happen again? I want to ask everyone I see if they were here when Katrina hit. If so, what was their experience? How did they survive? Even [...]
When we interviewed the artist/painter a couple days ago, she talked about her interest in finding the tension in situations and moments that she chooses to paint. Uncovering two opposing objects, ideas, or even people to tell a story. That tension brings life and richness to what we capture. So today’s image is about the [...]
