I had the opportunity to work with Emma Darling this past weekend. Our creative energies came together into this dark shoot that was awesome. We used a location of an abandoned hotel. Anyone that knows me would know that I am a horror junkie so this was right up my alley. Emma was well versed in the dark arts as she has worked on horror films. I most definitely will be working with her again. […]

At the Wall: Berlin Photography
This was my 3rd time in Berlin and I wanted to really capture some of the best spots in Berlin. Hopefully you will feel I did that. The weather was horrible the entire week. Raining everyday and even snowing. Rain doesn’t stop my photography show. In fact I use it to my advantage to get some nice reflections in my shots. The train system is quite nice and you can get all over the city […]

Slope Season in the Alps
It’s slope season and the it is the time where I work on my snowboard game. This year it was the Austrian Alps in Sankt Johann. You will notice all photos are panoramas and were taken with my Nikon D750. The first couple of nights were pretty cloudy and here is a shot from one of those nights. I didn’t get an early morning shot before snowboarding because we were hitting the slopes early […]
Read MoreBack to the Bush: Africa
I have been obsessed with animals in their natural habitat since I was young. I often thought I might work with animals one day. That never happened. I have seen almost every National Geographic or Discovery Channel production relating to Africa. It was a life-long dream for me to take a trip to South Africa in 2012. It was amazing to do early morning walks when you don’t know what you will see. Driving through […]
Read MoreWe Are Talking About Practice: 10,000 Hours
If you are like Allen Iverson you probably don’t want to talk about practice. But he would not have been as good a player if not for playing in countless pick up games as a kid, in high school, in college or in the NBA. All the hours spent playing basketball for him are practice. Practice makes perfect. My cousin @tonethegoat and I have always talked about perfecting your craft and how it takes 10,000 […]
Read MoreEuro Cup Paris 2016
I made it to Paris for the Eurocup finals where France was playing against Portugal. The city was buzzing as fans from both countries represented with their colors and favorite players jerseys. This was not my 1st visit to Paris, more like my 10th, but I still visited the major sites including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Notre Dame. The game was electric and Christian Renaldo went out early and all looks bleak for […]

I was always raised on the importance of giving back ave helping people less fortunate than you. I recently attended the Cisco Live conference in Berlin to renew my CCNP certification and maybe say hey I have a book and you should buy it :). Shameful self promotion.

Read MoreUnedited Photography
I know we live in an age where we can’t function without make-up or making things look more appealing to the eye. Sometimes I just like my raw images just the way they are. I know lot of people that will just take a picture and spend hours editing one single image. Me, I generally won’t spend more than a few minutes editing pictures. If you can get the settings correct while taking the picture […]
Read MoreWedding Shoot with Tonethegoat and Ty
Tone and Ty were married recently and wanted to do a post wedding shoot in Atlanta. I scouted a located downtown Atlanta that would be amazing. It was on the helipad of the W Hotel in Atlanta. The views there are spectacular. It was actually perfect weather on this day and we shot shortly after sunset to get the lights of the city in the images. Shooting here would be great no matter what time […]
Read MoreThat’s My Quarterback: Old Atlanta Says Thank You
The Falcons had a golden opportunity to end the discussion of whether Tom Brady was the GOAT. They had forced him into playing 3 terrible quarters and were on their way to given him 3 super bowl losses. This would have catapulted Matt Ryan into legendary status and killed the GOAT discussion with Tom Shady. The Atlanta Falcons were a few plays away from being 1st time super bowl champions. October was about to become […]
