Outtakes: DJ Elizabeth Farrell

I recently had the opportunity to shoot DJ Elizabeth Farrell for Modern Luxury Magazine. My many thanks to Elizabeth, Modern Luxury, and the fantastic people at The Gin Mill for letting us shoot there.

New Portrait: Phil Romano

I shot Phil Romano outside the future site of his new development at the foot of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge: Trinity Groves' Restaurant Incubator. This was a very tricky assignment, as the project is actually still in its infancy. It was a pleasure to shoot Phil - creator of Romano's Macaroni Grill, Nick & Sam's and Fuddruckers (where the 6th grade version of this photographer had his first date) - and to hear about all the future residents of the development, including a brewery, a BBQ joint and over a dozen other projects.

New Work: Hanh Merriman - Life In Travel

For this shoot with travel and fashion blogger Hanh Merriman, I knew I wanted to highlight both sides of her blog Life In Travel when picking a location. After tossing concepts back and forth, I asked Hanh what she thought about shooting outside of and aboard a private plane. She loved the idea, and happened to have a contact with access to a luxurious Gulf Stream jet at an airport in Addison, TX. This was such a fun shoot and Hanh was a fantastic subject. My thanks to Modern Luxury for the assignment.

New Work: Lost Oak Winery

I had the extreme privilege of shooting Gene Estes and Jim Evans of Lost Oak Winery. The guys were fantastic subjects, and obviously very fond of each other. They even let the writer and me sample some of their award-winning product. Excellent stuff, to be sure.

Here are a few outtakes from the great time I spent with Gene and Jim:

White Rock Lake Boathouse

I was approached to shoot one of the White Rock Boathouse Junior/Senior Crew teams in an effort to promote the activities that the Boathouse offers to the greater Dallas community. I rode in the coach's motorboat and snapped away as he screamed his instructions to the kids. It was a challenging assignment to be sure, but it's never a bad thing to step outside your comfort zone. Here are some of my favorite shots from that afternoon:

Thank You!

I just printed up a brand new portfolio and have been setting up showings at ad agencies and magazines. I try to send thank you notes to everyone who takes the time to look at my work with me, and I realized I should do the same for all of you who stop by and look at my blog.

Thank you very, very much for your time, consideration and support. It means more to me than you know.
