Arriving in Guatemala yesterday was like coming home. Pastor Luis and Tony picked us up from the airport and hugs were very quickly exchanged. After starting the night in Guatemala City we pack the bus and make our way across the country to Lake Atitlan. Along the way we stopped at Poacorral, a very poor […]

Signal vs Noise – Wisdom from Zack Arias
Heading to South Dakota to photograph and video several interviews for Wesleyan Life magazine. Exciting but fast paced opportunity. More about this when the issue comes out! So what am I taking?? Below I’ve listed my gear list for the 5 day trip, and a short explanation on why I’m bringing it. But first some […]
Hey guys, I’m pleased to reveal the promo video for our Guatemala missions work this year! For the past two years I have had the honor of traveling to Guatemala and serve with a team from LaOtto Wesleyan Church and I cannot wait to get back! This will hopefully be an annual trip that I […]
I’m pretty sure I’ve found a permanent assistant. A real winner. Sometimes he forgets to put the lens on, and can’t really reach all the buttons, and only shoots on angle, but I can’t think of anyone better to lighten the mood of any shoot and keep clients engaged and smiling. Just need to teach […]
Looking for a new computer? Your old computer simply outdated (read: older than 2 weeks, jk) and you are looking for the newest shiniest model? How do you know when updates are scheduled?? Do some research! Personally I’m an Apple guy. Why? A couple reasons; I’ve never had real trouble with any of my machines […]
Scott Kelby makes some amazing points on shooting better images at the Google + Photographers convention. I really need to watch it again while I’m not editing a project. Some of the points that stuck out to me while giving it 25% of my attention were: Working the Scene – Something made you stop to […]
This is a dream of many of us photographers. To be called a master, to have other photographers yearning to create like we do, to have clients lining up outside our studio doors, to make images that stand the test of time, to be remembered. But how do we get there? What are the steps […]
How many of you have batteries that require charging? How many of you have more than one, more than two? How many of you are sick and tired of dealing with all of the tangled mess of cables that always seem to intertwine while in storage? And on shoots, how many times have you tried […]
New music from Katie Nelson! She sings her rendition of Jonny Lang’s Anything’s Possible at Trionfale Espresso in Ft Wayne Indiana. Huge thanks to the folks over at Trionfale for allowing us to film in their cafe! Another huge shout out to Scott Troyer for recording the audio for this video. Keep your eye out for one of Katie’s shows […]
Social sites are all over the place. Selecting the best ones to subscribe to can make marketing a breeze! Choose wrongly and you’ve wasted a lot of time on a sinking ship.. 500px is one of the sites I believe will be around for quite some time. 500px is to Flickr as Vimeo is to […]
Fstoppers posted a great question we’ve all heard many times.. If you were forced to only use one lens for the rest of your life, what would it be? Check out their full post here http://fstoppers.com/poll-the-one-lens-to-rule-them-all and let them know what you think! Personally I chose the 50 prime. Arguably the best lens for your money on […]
Although it doesn’t happen a lot, eventually your software will crash. This time around I was working in Photoshop CS6, after a couple hours touching up an image I hit save. Probably because of an overload to my computer it crashed before the file finished saving. (I was rendering some video in Premiere, typing an […]
Easter morning, always a fantastic day! I remember waking up at 4 am growing up to participate in our local Easter patent. I was a beggar! Let’s keep in mind what today is all about. Christ rose from the grave after dying for all of us!! What a reason to praise! Have a wonderful day […]
