New Music - The Curtain Closes

For those of you who do not know, I love music—I love to play it and I love to write it. I've always found writing music to be the perfect outlet to express what I'm feeling.

I recorded a new song tonight, hope you enjoy:

The Curtain Closes

HDR at Night

This is an HDR image processed from 4 photos in Photomatix and Lightroom. I wish I had gone a few stops darker so I could have retained more detail in the highlights of the building, but I was in a hurry ;)



This is my church, Impact Family Church in Alachua, FL. If you're in the area and don't have a home church, definitely come by! Check out the website for more info.

Road Trip - Winter Bible in Tulsa, OK

A few weeks ago I went on a road trip with a few friends to Winter Bible Seminar in Tulsa, OK. I decided to go with black and white images because I feel it portrays the timelessness of a trip like this where great memories are made. Enjoy!


Early morning after a drive through the night.


Steve at Waffle House.


The four of us at RHEMA Bible Church. Mike took the shot of me (3rd from left in case you don't know me...).


We rented a house for the week. This was the backyard.


At Cheddar's. The waiter was a...very interesting guy. Crazy hair...

Rainbow Panorama

I took this panorama several months ago but never got around to processing it. It's a stitch created from 17 photos.

Parking Lot HDR

(Click on photo to see larger version)

I took this photo quite a while ago, but I don't remember if I ever got around to posting it. It was taken in the Santa Fe College overflow parking lot. It's an HDR image made from 3 bracketed exposures. The flares in the streetlights are caused by the long exposures. I processed the shot using Photoshop CS2's HDR plugin (this was before I had Photomatix). It turned out well but it wasn't nearly as intuitive as Photomatix.

Road Trip: New Orleans and Texas

I just returned from a road trip to New Orleans and Texas with my family. We stayed two nights in New Orleans and then spent a week in College Station, TX visiting some friends of ours.

While in College Station, I met up with fellow photographer and blogger Sarah Giles. Check out her blog here: Butterfly Chaser Photography


My sister (L) and Sarah (R) at a coffee shop in College Station. It's not a great shot, and sorry for the blur—it was a last minute shot in a low light coffee shop ;)

Sarah showed me around Bryan, the city right next to College Station. She let me borrow her 50mm f/1.4 which is an amazing lens. My brother kindly tagged along to model.

Here's a few from the shoot:
