Tibetan Monks in Ferguson - 8/17/14

After a long day of canoeing the grandiose Mississippi River and visiting the confluence of the two great rivers, the Monks paid a visit to Ferguson. Immediately, crowds gathered in awe. One of the first people we were greeted by was the one and only, Alderman Antonio French. Everyone was in line for a selfie with the Monks.

Friday 8/15/14 in Ferguson

I was able to wander through "ground zero" of Ferguson, MO briefly on Friday night between 8-9pm. There was an incredible energy of camaraderie, not anything I could have experienced through a 10-15 second video clip. It didn't feel dangerous at all.  This is what I saw:

Double-Exposure Garden Portraits

I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I'd compile a series of something I enjoy doing with friends and family...double exposures! I tend to overlay a growing figment of nature atop the human element.  If the posing and compositions are just right, then the underlying message is able to shine through.

Andy and Stephanie-A film engagement

 The following are all shot on Portra 400 with a Nikon F3/105mm.  We all took the afternoon off to go explore Such and Such Farms in DeSoto, Missouri, which is where the wedding will be in June.  While we explored and scouted, we took the opportunity to get some photos in.  I shot digitally as well, but film is always so exciting!  Overall, it was a beautiful time with a great couple.
