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. They are good friends of mine & like I always say- If I’m not playing music, then shooting it is the next best thing. […]
March 20, 2010. Photographs of the first day of spring with taken with the Nikon D90 & 18-200mm VR combo. I love this camera. This overcast, snow blowing sky was great for fun contrasty pictures. This was a good day for a Kansas City photographer to stay home. When my youngest son, Keaton, took it […]
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 […]
I had the privilege of working with Creative Technology, out of San Francisco- on the NCYC 2009 gathering at the Sprint Center this past week. It was a great show & a wonderful crew to work with. These are some images from my position(s)- Hand-Held Camera 7, to be specific. We had 8 cameras in […]
These are a few images from the Crescendo 2009 event for UMKC, held recently at the Hyatt Regency. Fabulous performances.

We wait all year long for Halloween. This year was a great one. Cool… dry… Perfect for setting the neighborhood mood. I offer this series of spooky photographs of our haunted house & cemetery. Kids love to peek over the fence & I love setting it all up. Only 363 days left until Halloween 2010!
I was on a fun shoot for Outpost Pictures this week, at the Kansas City Toy & Miniature Museum on the UMKC campus. If you’ve never been, I encourage you to stop by. Laura (a museum associate) is shown here in these frames as she carefully works with pieces for our shoot. Every piece of […]
This classic bowling alley icon was photographed in Junction City, KS. April 2009 The parking lot was filling fast for league night. I just managed to squeeze off this photo before a rusty old Ford pick up with a loose muffler & the driver wearing a Dekalb Corn Seed cap, rapidly whipped into the spot […]
How can I pass up a photograph like this? Who dumps a perfectly playable piano out in the front yard? I took this image in a small KS town that I have forgotten… I’m guessing that the trash men had fun loading this piece! March 2009
This timeless image is a favorite. Photographs are happening all the time & I was lucky to have had my Palm Pre at the very least. Good photography begins with any camera in hand. August 2009
I shot this photograph of a steel worker as he paused perfectly in the rusted metal frame of the Kauffman Center For The Performing Arts. The contrasting colors of the metal with the vibrant blue sky top off the image. September 2009
A photograph can happen at any time & that is exactly how I grabbed this image on a drive through Missouri. If I hadn’t been looking, I would have motored right past it. The Nikon D90 really captures the essence of the era here. August 2009
This is a favorite recent image taken in August 2009. The look I created gives the photograph a very 1960’s slide film feel.
When John Paul Drum needed a photographer to capture a few images of a live show… well, how could I resist the Red Beans & Rice at Jazz? Kansas City, MO. August 2009
