“Industrial Composition” is a portfolio I am constantly working on. It is a major reason I carry a camera everywhere, someday i see it as a solo exhibition, for the last few years I have been gathering the images, here are the latest three taken today at Two Arrows, Ariz.
I have a ton of these kinds of image, some are more successful than others, when the coffee table book hits the shelves or the gallery showing opens i will let my loyal readers know. Until then, if you own a book publisher or gallery and would like to represent this portfolio, let me know.

Today was destined to be a great photography day. Originally, I was going to help out Matt Beaty of Vault Photography with an advertisement shoot for a local Car Dealership he has been working with. The plan was to get a new Subaru WRX and drive it around to get action shots. When we arrived at the dealership, they had not only sold the car earlier that week but didn’t have time to deal with us that day and sent us packing. Not to be discouraged, Matt, Andrew Paffrath (who was along to shoot some video) and I grabbed our gear, called up the beautiful Alexandra Felix to model and headed out to Twin Arrows, Ariz. to have some fun and get our creative on. Hit the link to see more photos and read more about our adventure. (the above shot is the back of Andrews T2-I taped to the dash, recording the ride there.) Continue reading

I was browsing through a few old image folders on my computer. These three images caught my eye for their use of motion and composition. I was setting up for a different shot, when suddenly there was a decisive moment of peak action when i pressed the shutter and gave 1/60 of a second in time immortality. I liked that they all had something in common and work well together.

After lunch I picked up my pack and headed in the direction of the Gold King Mine, which is a little over a mile from Jerome down a small two lane rode. After walking about three-quarters of the way an ATV pulled up and Mike, the operator and Gold King Mine employee offered me a ride to the front gate. In order to gain entry to the event for the weekend there was a $20 per carload entry fee. I showed up on the back of an ATV, I didn’t have a Volkswagen and they didn’t know what to do with me… Please follow the link below to read more
