Aunt Suzanne's flowers....



My cousins or should I say my brother and sister!




These natural portraits of my 5'ft cousin Jesse and my 6'1ft cousin Spencer sort of go along with my exploration of relationships that involve a big difference in heights. Surprisingly enough they both are the same age and Jesse is actually the older one (the shorter one). They both graduated from Grinnell in Iowa and soon married and moved to New York City and they still live there to this day. ( I have visited them 4 times already)

The Different Height Relationships!



My Dad is 6 feet tall and his wife, Fancye, is under 5 feet. So I wanted to show portraits of them together from her level and his level by using 4x5 black and white negative film. I think it is great because not only does it distinguish their height difference it also shows the major difference in their personalities as well. My step-mom is the serious one in the relationship and my dad is the squirrelly one.

Hi Regina Spektor- what do you think about this?

It is still a work in progress that I sort of thought of after the fact of having already photographing these images of mannequins and my friend Jeeinn in an alley way.

Jim & Gretchen's Wedding-september 08

My first wedding ever to be asked to photograph and I was very fortunate that I knew a lot of the people in the wedding. It was a very beautiful wedding to begin with so it made my job a lot easier. Here are some of my personal favorite photos.





















You mean all the world to me!

Exploring with my first time using iMovie using photos of my best friend alex and I over the years to our favorite song. The song is "sugar tree" by Simplified. A local band from North Carolina that we saw live in concert, but they originated in Ohio. Well anyways, my friend alex loved it and has influenced me to put more of my photographs to music. Why not combine my two biggest passions: Photography and Music, oh yeah and friends.
