One of my favorite regions in this world is Central America. There’s a phrase there that gets tossed around often that I hope to embody someday: Tranquilo. I’m not exactly a tranquilo person, so it’s a grounding word for me.
When I landed in Phoenix last week, picked up my awesome soccer mom rental van (that [...]

The Fourth Wall: Las Vegas
I spent a day and a half in Vegas shooting for my project and had a blast despite the suffocating heat. I believe I’ll end up going back to focus solely on the seediness and greediness, but just kinda wandered around with my eyes wide open this time around. With a motto like, ‘What happens [...]

In My Back Yard: Disposable pictures
When something jolts me to make a picture, the only thing I’m interested in is the feeling behind that jolt, the emotional resonance of a situation. The past two summers I have tinkered with an underwater disposable camera when at the beach with my family. In 2009 I shot half of the roll and this [...]

Zoltan Mesko for The Wall Street Journal
I recently photographed New England Patriots’ punter Zoltan Mesko at the Atlanta Falcons’ practice field in Flowery Branch, Ga. for The Wall Street Journal. The Romanian born kicker went to the Patriots in the fifth round, with the 150th selection after a 5-year college career at the University of Michigan where he graduated with a [...]

USC Orientation for U.S. News & World Report
I photographed freshmen orientation at The University of South Carolina for U.S. News & World Report. It wasn’t all that exciting, for visuals or the students either, as you can see by the lines and yawns. But it was fun to experience the nervousness and anticipation of the new students, to hear orientation leaders ruin [...]

This week has been fairly good for LUCEO’s travel miles. Kendrick Brinson is in Arizona, Matt Eich is in Ohio, Kevin German is cooking up something new in Vietnam, and Matt Slaby is about to depart for Montana. In the way of personal, phototographer-to-photographer thank-yous, a round of applause is in order for Andy Delisle for [...]

Gulf Spill Bird Rehab for Mother Jones
In July, I had the opportunity to shadow the bird rescue and rehab operations in Louisiana for Mother Jones magazine. The biggest problem in photographing the spill –and the reason why it was an incredible opportunity to cover its different components for different clients –is that the actual fallout from the oil is so large [...]
I recently shot a quick portrait shoot for USN&WR that gave me a whole new appreciation of my lack of student loan debt. I photographed Powder Springs, Ga. resident La’Nita Johnson at Woodward Academy where she recently graduated. She and her family will be responsible for about $32K of the annual $52K total cost for [...]

Nate Gartrell for U.S. News & World Report
In May I made a quick trip north to Oregon to shoot portraits of University of Oregon student Nate Gartrell. Gartrell transferred from San Francisco State into the Oregon system following the California budget crisis that left its state university system in a bit of a shattered situation. The article discusses the exodus of California [...]

Back to Sun City for Round Four
I’m heading back to my dear Sun City today for a slightly more focused approach in my Life After Life essay to try and gather images of what I feel this project lacks. I haven’t been since March, when the weather was much more tolerable and more residents were in town. Wish me luck?
