Just Sharp Enough

Thanks for dropping by

After 15 years as a newspaper photographer and looking for a change, my wife Kelly’s career carried us from our home state of Texas to Iowa. The change in scenery also shifted the focus of my work. While still pursuing journalistic work with organizations such as The New York Times and Getty Images, I have progressively devoted more of my career to wedding and portrait photography. Why? Well, I don’t see the 2 fields as so divergent. When I photograph a wedding or make a child’s portrait, I’m simply a documentarian on a more intimate scale. Those images will have at least as much, if not more, value to a family as, say, flood pictures will have for the readers of a newspaper (Support your local newspaper!).
My favorite, though oddly most reluctant, subject is my son, Evan, who I’m also training in the ways of the Jedi. We make our home in Des Moines, Iowa with our 2 kittens, Miss Mittens and Clooney, and Mickie, our new puppy.
