Student Work

2009-01-12T08:29:00.000-08:00

I've just begun my second semester as a professor at Southern Utah University. I thought I'd post some of my favorite work from semester #1. The images are from my intro to photography and digital imaging courses. You can check out the images here.

Art Insights Lecture

Last month, I gave a lecture as part of the Art Insights Lecture series at Southern Utah University. I have posted a small section of it here for your viewing pleasure.

Ouray Photos

2008-10-21T17:29:00.000-07:00

I recently returned from a trip to Ouray, Colorado (known as the "Switzerland of America") for the SPE Southwest Conference. I had the chance to present my work, review portfolios, and serve as one of the moderators on a roundtable discussion regarding teaching philosophy. Tom Fisher, Chief Academic Officer from the Savannah College of Art and Design did an excellent job as the keynote speaker. I hope the students walked away as inspired as I did. I've posted some photos here from the jeep tour that we took up into the mountains.

Hooray for Ouray and Installation Shots

2008-10-15T13:45:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow I will be traveling to Ouray, Colorado for the Southwest SPE (Society for Photographic Education) Conference with about a dozen students. I will be presenting my work and reviewing some portfolios. I also recently received some installation shots from my solo exhibition at the Hall Street Gallery in Savannah, GA. Check them out here.

New Shows/Updates

2008-10-01T14:03:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the long absence. In starting my new professor job, I've neglected my blog and some other duties. But now that I've started to establish a routine with my teaching schedule, I will have more time to dedicate to my art stuff again. Recently I got into a show entitled Connect/Disconnect at the Gaddis Geeslin Gallery in Huntsville, TX. It runs through Oct. 17 and features two images from my phantasm series. I also have a solo show opening at the Hall Gallery in Savannah entitled Schoolhouse which features images that I shot while working with Carrie Mae Weems on her project "Constructing History." I will also be presenting my work at the Regional SPE conference in Ouray, Colorado in mid-october.

My friend Jason over at artrelish.com made this great video preview of the PhotoAwesome Exhibition which includes my thesis work and that of 8 other photographers. Come to the reception on May 24th from 7-10pm at the Blue Tower Gallery in Atlanta.

I came across this photographer a while back when I was researching other people who photograph trash like me. His newest series "Running Numbers" is an amazing depiction of America. If this doesn't make you want to recycle, then nothing will.

I have a job!

2008-05-04T16:24:00.000-07:00

Next fall I will be teaching at Southern Utah University in Cedar City, Utah. I will be teaching four courses as an adjunct photography professor. I've never been to that part of the country before, so I am looking forward to it. Cedar city is four hours away from Salt Lake City and two and a half hours from Las Vegas.

Mini Documentary Project

2008-04-20T18:16:00.001-07:00

I recently shot a mini documentary project in Monroe, GA at a timber frame shop in Monroe, GA. If you don't know what timber framing is, here is a quick rundown. Thanks to the guys at the Holder Bros. for letting me wander around their shop for a day. You can take a look at the photographs here.

Flower Girls

2008-04-14T18:56:00.000-07:00

A few of my photographer friends and I took a trip to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens last week. We brought a simple lighting kit and shot some portraits while we there. These are a few of my favorites.

Personal Photographs

2008-04-06T18:15:00.000-07:00

I'm always taking photos that don't fit into specific projects for my main website, so I decided to put them up here on my blog. You can check out the links on the right side of the page under "more of my photos."

Carrie Mae Weems Project

2008-04-05T15:38:00.000-07:00

I recently had the opportunity to work with internationally renowned artist Carrie Mae Weems on a project she was creating for the National Black Arts Festival. I documented some of my time on the set and you can view some of the images that I took here.

Thesis Exhibition: Phantasm

2008-04-03T19:30:00.000-07:00

My thesis exhibition will feature work from my project Phantasm. The show will be at the Blue Tower Gallery (675 Metropolitan Pkwy, Atlanta, GA) from May 10-May 24. The closing reception/party will be held on the 24th. Blue Tower gallery will also be featuring the work of Walker Pickering, David Allen Jones, Rebecca Stern, Jason Franklin, Sharon Forbus, and Karen Williams.
