In the rush to catch up with my shoots, I completely lost track of this great session last year in Cleveland. My wonderful model, Zach, happened to be in town and we decided to try one more crack at the industrial blight around the city. So the remains of the Westinghouse and Hulett factories […]
This past February I was in Detroit attending an exhibition. With a suggestion from my wonderful Canadian friend, I decided not to let the weather halt any photographic work and hesitantly tried PeerSpace. PeerSpace is a service similar to AirBnB that offers rentals for many events, including photo shoots. With that in mind, I tried
In this post, I want to share the timeliness that is essential to my work. As soon as I discover new sites, they seem to disappear. That fear drives my need to capture as many of these places as possible before all is lost. It’s a race against the “homogenizing” of America. This post is
Wow, it’s been too long since the last blog post. Well it’s time to let you know what the heck I’ve been doing. So this month’s post continues where I dropped off last year with my first photo safari to another city that made it’s mark building our country – St. Louis. In addition to

Reaching out through Instagram, I connected with this young man and Alex was able to be included in an already astounding repertoire of images. As luck
One part of the world has truly captured my imagination. Portugal and Western Spain, especially the Extremedura, have presented me with a plethora of stunning locations that cannot compare to anything in the US. The mind-blowing history alone is enough to peak my interest. But the staggering vistas and phenomenal architecture are just stellar!
As luck would have it, after the difficult weather in Detroit with Bruno, a brief Indian summer gave me the opportunity to attempt one more outdoor shoot. Luckily, Zach was available to return to Columbus and we had a terrific Fall photo session. We started with a quick shoot at an old military housing development
Bruno has tremendous fortitude. After spending one day exploring a couple of schools, the next was focused on slightly more open scenes including a church and an abandoned engine plant.
