I'm back!

I've been a bit MIA lately...still working my tail off at school while raising a family & trying to wrap my head around my brothers situation while he fights cancer.

I've also started a Tumblr & Flickr account so trying to build and maintain all three can be a bit of a challenge, but I'm finding my rhythm and hopefully getting my work seen by more people, in more places.

My big project for the summer is a self-portrait series that myself & a few good friends are collecting.  As the summer draws to an end, our hope is to have a collaborative show of our work...fingers crossed.

Here's my favorite 'selfie' so far.

Cancer sucks!

My older brother was diagnosed with advanced bladder cancer a few months ago…needless to say, this has rocked my world inside out.  I went to see him yesterday (its a 3 hour drive both ways) and began shooting photos like I always do…when everything I saw began to take me to a place with him.

My brother is a phenomenal self taught musician, and his passion for it exudes onto everyone around him….as we pulled away from his house in the dark & rain…my son looked back as Uncle Dan waved goodbye and said, “I miss him already…”

Cancer really sucks people…if you’ve had it; or have been close to someone who has, that’s all I need to say.  If you haven’t…I hope you never do.
