Eddie Adams Workshop XXII

I can not speak highly enough on the place, people and experience of the Eddie Adams Workshop. Changed me as a person and photographer. I've been lucky enough to tag along with the last two years as Clay Patrick McBride's assistant and I was a student in 2006. Take a second to get some work together and apply. I promise you won't be disappointed.

More Hasselblad stuff...

Finished some quick scans of the rest of the film I had, here's a few more I'm feeling. A mix of strangers and friends I've photographed. I also added that picture of Michelle to my regular site. Check it out when you get a sec. I've edited my site down a bunch, love to get some feedback.

I'm back in action, some hassey stuff

Feels good to get some scans done. Here are some quick stuff I shot with my Hassey. I don't plan on shooting anything (w/the hassey) but the project from here on out.
I just scanned these super low res, just wanted to get a feel for how things were looking. So I apologize for the dust and imperfections.

Its fun shooting film again, almost a novelty. So sharp, its amazing. Once I get some decent images together from the project I will be posting them here, same deal, rough scans, just to get an idea of where I'm going.

On the road with CPMcB

Been on a three city tour with my boss and good friend Clay. This is our last night of the trip and its been a real good time. We started off in Panama City, FL and shot local rapper Blood Raw. What a rad dude that guy was. I mean the guy broke so many stereo types of a southern, black MC. The dude was straight hood, but was crazy honest about who he was and where he came from. Clay shot a bunch of super 8mm film and I did some audio recording that we're hoping to put together in a short. He gave us a real straight up from the heart interview that gave me goose bumps at parts, it was an amazing experience. Next day we drove down to Fort Myers with a quick pit stop for dinner at my grandparent's. Saw my Aunt Laura as well. It was really short but super nice to see them. In Fort Myers we did an ad for Nike which went super well, then on to Chicago for another musician shoot. Last night was a funny story. To make a long story short, we ending up at some local pub with Kid Rock (a friend of Clay's) and drank beers while Kid Rock sang karaoke. Pretty random but the everyone at the spot was mad chill. Got to see my old friend Nick Childs and his fiancee as well. One of my oldest and best friends, can't wait for his wedding this summer.

As usual I wish I shot a bit more, but here are a few snaps from the trip. Its still not over, so another post maybe follow.

Swindle Icons Issue 2

Its been a bit since I've had something published, but this is a good one. Swindle Magazine's Icons Issue 2 has just come out and I have four portraits in it of graffiti legend IZ the Wiz, writer Naomi Wolf, writer Richard Hell, and musician Perry Ferrell. I've just posted some jpgs of them on my web site. Two good friends of mine have pictures in that issue as well: Clay Patrick McBride and Chad Griffith.

Update: I just picked up the copies that were shipped to Kate's office. I was looking through the mag's credits and saw they listed me as a staff photographer.
