This is a slightly unconventional Photo Story. It’s part history lesson, part process, and part surprise ending. What initially began as inspiration from an early 1900’s photographer ended up turning into artwork being created with today’s most modern technology. An interesting twist to these final images presented below. After reviewing the video and the process…
Slater Mill is a historic textile mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The outside grounds are free to walk around. You can also pay to take a tour of the interiors of the mill buildings. There are a few mill buildings, but the one subject you don’t want to miss is the water falls. If going…
Roger Williams Park is comprised of a zoo and open park grounds. I’m not much into shooting zoo animals, but the park grounds are quite large.

I’m running a bit behind this holiday season, but after much procrastination, here is the behind the scenes production of this years Christmas Card.
This photo story discusses how to avoid distracting elements when taking landscape photographs. In this analysis, I’m attempting to create an image of the Newport Bridge, a local landmark in Rhode Island, and in doing so came across two obstacles. The first, being a lack of inspiration at the start of the shoot and the…
Are you having a long, stressful week? Then lets break stuff! This is not an original concept, but it’s something that I’ve never had the opportunity to shoot.I started by sketching compositions in my awesome moleskin hipster notepad. I like to doodle out ideas first because it will help me gather my thoughts and I can make notes as to what props…
