“Rambabe” – One Woman Army
“Rambabe” is my latest personal project, done just for kicks as a creative recharge. It is, of course, inspired by the Rambo movies; I own the ’80s trilogy. While watching it one day I decided it would be fun to make a photo that changes it up a bit and has a beautiful, tough woman [...]
FSU Quarterback Christian Ponder in Tallahassee
Tallahassee Magazine was doing a story on the local animal shelter – the Tallahassee-Leon County Animal Service Center – which was recently awarded $25,000 from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for inspiring the community and adopting out 1,200 animals in 90 days.

Efficiency is the name [...]
“Quagmire” – Beautiful Woman in a Swamp
I had this image in my head for some time – a beautiful young woman in a boat, deep in a Florida swamp at dusk. She’s holding a lantern, peering out into the darkness, searching for something. I enlisted McKenzie Burleigh, a model with whom I’ve worked several times in the past, to pose for [...]
