Finding a killer location without a killer location

So, we live in suburbia, and there is a serious lack of unique photography locations close by. Every house is the same, there is no character to where we live. If I want character, I’ve got to drive at least a half hour or more and then I’m just driving around trying to find something, [...]

Road trip

Over the long weekend, The Boss and I drove down to Northern Virginia to visit my family. Since we were looking at a five to six-hour drive ahead of us, I threw on one of my typical road-trip/long drive getups that consist of fabrics that won’t wrinkle; for long periods of time behind the wheel, [...]

I sought advice from people I trusted, both personally and professionally, but of all the classes and degrees [...]

Like, literally

This video was shot several weeks ago when I had bronchitis and a horrible cold. I’m not saying that saying TEAMWORK! when one does not have a cold makes it any less annoying than saying TEAMWORK! when one is completely healthy, but I am saying that TEAMWORK! is the name of the game in our [...]
