Earlier this summer we made the trek out to Jawbone Flats, a mid-twentieth century ‘ghost town’ in Oregon’s Willamette National Forest on an editorial assignment for Backpacker Magazine. Nestled in some of the state’s most magnificent old growth forest, it’s the site of a fierce political battle between Oregon’s logging industry and local conservationists. […]

Halfway there has never been an option for me. In fact, finishing something to completion and exploring every possible angle is the only concept I know.

Two years ago I found myself finishing art school getting a great photography/design job at an alternative magazine in Orange County, CA. I traveled all over Southern California shooting music festivals, food reviews, news features, and even the occasional freelance gig for Spin Magazine. Life was great and I was stoked on doing this adult […]
