In My Back Yard: Family Vacation, Part I
Each summer my family endeavors to escape for a week, and in years past we have always fled to Ocracoke Island, North Carolina. This year was no different, but we decided to invite Melissa’s family from Cleveland to come along as well for the first time. She and I departed a day early to camp [...]

Trouble the Water in Newsweek Japan
Newsweek Japan just ran a selection of my work from the essay Trouble the Water for their weekly PicturePower section, making them the first place to publish this work. In 2008 they were one of the first places to publish Carry Me Ohio in a cohesive form as well. A debt of gratitude is owed [...]

Codey Wilson for New York Magazine
At the beginning of June I was assigned to photograph YouTube sensation and US Army specialist Codey Wilson in Lynchburg, Virginia for New York Magazine. While deployed in Iraq, Codey directed a video poking fun at the plan to repeal “don’t ask, don’t tell”, set to the Ke$ha song “Blah blah blah”, starring fellow soldiers. [...]

Trouble the Water, New Images and New Finds
The first week of July after staying for a few days in Mississippi, I meandered down to Houma, Louisiana where I was planning to document the annual egg collection with the folks at Daneco Alligator Farm. Long story short, I struck out when the weather turned against us, forcing the folks gathering the eggs to [...]

LUCEO bi-annual meeting, WDC
In early June all of the LUCEO photographers gathered in Washington, DC for a week to hash out our business and to meet with clients. These times, while stressful, are so good for my soul. Just being able to spend a few days with a group of like-minded photographers that I respect deeply was refreshing [...]
It was a warm Friday afternoon when I strolled back into Baptist Town, Mississippi, unannounced. Walking down the street from where I park my car, the first person I see is Winky, with his shades and hat on, in front of Hoover’s store. “What up, Matt?” he asks, throwing up a BT sign, and slapping [...]

In My Back Yard: In My Grandfather’s House
The last time I saw my grandfather was a few months after Madelyn was born, in December of 2007. Now 83, he is noticeably more frail. I remember him being a very engaged and loving grandfather when I was a child but that he pulled away from our family after my grandmother died of Alzheimer’s [...]
