This is a photo of CJ Hardee at Bright City Studios in Charlotte, NC.

CJ wrote and performed a song on an upcoming album that was produced at Bright City, and I am REALLY looking forward to it.

I Told Him To Act Frustrated

This photo of David is part of a series of portraits I took for musicians at Bright City Studios in Charlotte, NC. Great friends of mine, and really good sports, I had the opportunity to be creative and let them be themselves.

Profile Picture

I've been on twitter now for almost 2 years now, and I've never actually used my real face as my avatar. I rarely update my profile picture on facebook either, but yesterday I found a good reason to change both of those.

An idea I had turned into an experiment. That test turned into a project, and that project turned into my favorite self-portrait ever.

I set up my Alien Bee B800 with a large softbox directly behind me in the bathroom of our hotel room. That light provided the white background, bounced off the walls, ceiling and mirror in front of me and lit my face. I had the camera sitting on the counter with a 24mm f/2.8 pointed at me. I dunked my head in water, looked in the camera, and pushed the shutter release button.

One shot, one light, one kill.

The fact that I have sweet new glasses really helps as well.
