We got married in a fever Hotter than a pepper sprout We been talkin’ ’bout- Jackson etc. etc. **************************** So- it’s hot out & I thought it’d [...]
What in the world is a Lensbaby? Is that what you’re asking yourself? Sounds like something you’d get on TV for $19.95 if you didn’t know any better. I asked myself that the first time I had heard the word. As a Kansas City Photographer I have to be on the lookout for new & [...]
When a good “Bud” of mine needed photos of his band taken for some promos, he thought- “What Kansas City Photographer could I trick to come & shoot us?” Well, since I played in a Kansas City Cover Band with one of them years ago (stranger in center) I think he remembered some road cash [...]
The fun thing about being a Kansas City Photographer – or a photographer in Anytown USA- is that there is always something to shoot if you keep your eyes & imagination on at all times. A true image farmer will look at everything imaginable, processing it to be worthy or not worthy of documenting. I [...]

When local Kansas City band Private Stock needed photographs taken at a live performance for their website, they were kind enough to call on this Kansas City photographer for the job.

When you are a Kansas City photographer & you’re out searching for that perfect shot- you work up an appetite. While out shooting photographs with my new Nikon D90- I had a craving for the red beans and rice at Jazz, my favorite Kansas City eatery. The lighting at Jazz is not what I’d call [...]
Well I got busy & completely fell behind in posting pieces of my world. A Kansas City photographer simply has to document life all the time. I was in Las Vegas recently on a live camera concert job & was able to grab a few interesting photographs to share with all of the image appreciators [...]
