The Natural State Criterium Series is back!!!

On a recent photoshoot, the inevitable happened; I dropped an expensive studio flash while I was handholding it to get a certain shot. I don’t know how or why, it just slipped out of my hand. These things happen in a photographer’s line of work and that’s why you (hopefully) have insurance. I do carry insurance and after some deliberation, some research and some “go with your gut instinct, I began the process of switching up my studio lighting setup from Profoto to Godox.

It seems surreal to be writing a blog post during these unprecedented times. Just 2 weeks ago, the signs of spring and the workload that typically follows, was buzzing with activity and promise. And then, everything literally stopped.

In the days that followed…

A few weeks back, Thaden School celebrated a Homecoming event. Unique to this year’s event is that, well, it was the first one ever. With no graduating classes as of yet, the school decided it would be the perfect opportunity to show off their new campus and in a sense, have their own version of a homecoming celebration. Families of students were invited to tour the campus and share a meal together. As an added bonus, the school also invited the architects responsible for the campus buildings to come and talk through the creative process of bringing the school’s vision to life in the form of the campus architecture and design. We spent the afternoon, capturing the new buildings, documenting a little campus life and snapping a few photos of the evening.

Today on the blog, a few recent images for the March 2019 issue of Local Palate Magazine, a premier food culture publication focused on the South. This month’s issue featured an article on Scott Baker of Tusk and Trotter. Scott’s techniques for infusing liquors with natural flavors and the resulting cocktails are gaining attention outside our little are because they are absolutely delicious. Cheers to Monday!

The stoke was gnar and the shred was high and the sendys were amped with more stoke and gnar and everyone was braaaaaaaap’n wet but excited to be watching the Red Bull Pumptrack World Championships at the new Runway Bike Park in Springdale, Arkansas. Here’s a few photos from the event. Enjoy.

In the midst of a hectic travel schedule, I somehow found the time to slow down and enjoy the journey. Here's a few images from my recent travels. Enjoy.
