Hollywood Wax Museum 2 | Branson, MO

I tried to shoot the wax sculptures as if they were real people. My goal was to shoot them as portraits, in the same way I may shoot the actors themselves.

Hollywood Wax Museum | Branson, MO

Holly and I decided we needed to get a way for a weekend, so we booked a cabin in Branson, MO. The place is like being in the twilight zone...or a scene from Deliverance...but the road trip was cool, and we stopped for a tour of the St. James Winery. These images are from one of the only activities in Branson that didn't include country music and sequins. Cue the banjos...

Brother B&W Cont' | St. Louis

Stills from the video shoot we filmed a couple days ago. I pushed the dynamic range to it's breaking point and allowed for heavy shadows in the style of Greg Gorman. I really like the gritty realism the process produced.

Fences & Gravel Roads | Clarksville, MO

These two shots were taken with my point and shoot while driving down a gravel road in northern Missouri. Gravel roads...I used to hate them, but now I find them familiar. Strange how life has a way of bringing you back to places you thought you'd never want to be again.

My brother and I were just doing some light tests for video. This is my first attempt to light for video. I have a lot to learn!

Brother B&W | St. Louis

This lighting was set up for a video test we did, and I grabbed my still camera to snap a couple quick shots. The goal was to allow for a very human element to be captured. Hopefully there's a sense of realism here.

We were really bored tonight, so we decided to try some new lighting using one strobe. Here are a few shots I liked.

Overlook Farm | Clarksville, MO

These images are from a recent trip to Clarksville, MO. I was happy to have the opportunity to tour and photograph a very old piece of land there named Overlook Farm. The land was gifted to the family who owns it by the King of Spain, long before Missouri was even a state. Clarksville was a welcomed change from the noise of the city, and I look forward to visiting again soon.

Carpenter GMC | Hwy 3

I passed this old bus on a two-lane blacktop headed back from Carbondale, IL.  It was abandoned and I loved the colors and golden patina. The sun seemed to be hitting it just right as I drove by, and I had to turn around and grab a few quick shots.  There were others, but the light in this one was my favorite.

Seventies Jenny | St. Louis

With this shot, I attempted to replicate a sort of 70's look and feel.  The film images of that era had a real brown, gritty element about them.  Murky shadows and dingy whites were a common factor, as well as film grain.  I posted a higher res version of the same shot below to give a closer look at the grain and detail.

Daisies | Autumn Street Festival

Holly and I took a drive on a fall afternoon and decided to head west.  We happened on several street festivals in some of the river towns along the way and stopped to take them in.  I particularly liked this image.
