Here's a new thing for me...

Having a day were I needed a break from the same old, same old, I grabbed my camera and dug up some old antiques we have laying around the house. I found a good window, providing more than adequate light. If you're interested, you can visit the link below and see the full gallery on my facebook page. Enjoy!

Samaritan Ministries Int. - Commercial Photography - Peoria, IL

Samaritan Ministries Int went live with their site a while back, but I just recently noticed. Their new design is using a collection of images I captured for them a while back. As a medical need sharing ministry I was trying to display the community factor of their ministrty. For those who don't know, Samaritan Ministries is a Christian alternative to health insurance. Thousands a Christians worldwide share millions of dollars in medical burdens with others within Samaritan community. This is a great ministry and a great work of faith.


Check them out! oh and take a look at my images.

CG + Architecture + Photography

This is indeed a fantastic short film. Very meditative showing the beauty of both architecture and photography through the brilliance of CG. Watch it and soak it in. This is one of those instances where I'd love to say I could do that, but I would be lying.

Create Lighting Diagrams on your iPhone/iPod Touch

I just downloaded this sucker and I can already see it's potential. Actually I could see it's potential before I even downloaded it. What a great way to quickly show you assistants how to arrange the lights for a particular shoot. With the ability to create & save diagrams you can even doodle when you're board and come up with new ideas to test out in the future. It then allows you to save and send via email to anybody you'd like. Thanks to the guys over at Strobox, this app is fantastic!

Dairy Barn?

This past week I was pulled in to photograph the interior of a barn in a small town in the Peoria area. I don't know about you, but I don't see barns like this everyday. To say the least I was impressed. Now, before you start thinking the entire barn was like this let me just say that through the doors at the end of the hall it quickly begun to look like your typical barn.

Mission: Acquire - Behind the Scenes

I received a lot of support from everyone on my latest video "mission: acquire". If you're not familiar with this video you can check it out in an earlier post. I had a incredible time directing this film from concept to final submission. The guys I worked with made the whole experience fun from beginning to end. Couldn't have asked for a better crew. I've thrown together a short (but longer than the actual film) behind the scenes video for those interested, to see what went into to making this flick.



Also, for those photographer people wanting to know how the last photo was taken you can see all the photos that were taken to make that final composite. Click on the link below to check it out!
