I shot these images quite awhile ago, but I thought that they deserved to be showcased for a little bit. I never posted them, and have always liked them, and I hope you do too!

Nevada Livin’
This is a short time lapse video that I put together playing around with Adobe Premier and the color curves function.
Exotics Racing
This is an image of a Mercedes SLC AMG racing around the track at Exotics Racing here in Vegas. I had the great opportunity of covering this local business and attraction for an upcoming assignment for the magazine I work for. I’ve got more to post, but they’re on my computer at work. This was one of my favorites that I stayed late to make pictures of because I’ve always had loved the Mercedes style.
Double Exposures with Seth and Pete II
Here is the second installment of our “People and Places” project. This time Seth was on places duty while I made pictures of people. I hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoy putting the whole thing together.
Double Exposures with Seth and Pete
This is an album that spans some 1,800 plus miles across the U.S. It is the collaboration of Seth Winn and myself. He photographed people, and I made pictures of places. For a first time try, these turned out pretty nice if I do say so myself. Check ‘em out.
Halloween Parade, Downtown Las Vegas, 2012
Halloween just about anywhere is pretty fun in my opinion. And of course, Las Vegas does it their own special way just like everything else about this town. These are a selection of images from the parade held on the special night of the 31st. Thanks for looking.
Polo America in Las Vegas
This past weekend I was able to go to a unique sporting event at the South Point Casino and Hotel here in Vegas. Polo America held a weekend event including an exhibition match Friday night that I photographed. These are my favorite shots that I got, and for the most part I think they turned out pretty decent. I had never been to a polo match before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect or how to capture the action. The horses and their riders move quick, and lighting can be tricky.
Death Valley National Park
I have the pleasure of living about 2 hours outside of Death Valley National Park. This makes for a great shooting environment all different times of year. So far, within the last 2 months I have gone twice. Here are some of the images that I’ve gotten while in the Californian desert lands.
And here is a shot of me standing on the edge of Dante’s View.
The Road to Pahrump
This is a series of images taken along Highway 160, and a side road that heads west toward Death Valley National Park.
Bat Country
The worlds largest colony of Mexican Free-tailed bats migrates from Mexico to a natural cave near San Antonio, Texas every year for the spring and summer months. They come to give birth and to fatten up for the winter before heading back south.
I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to go and photograph and watch the return of the colony after staying out all night feeding. These are some of the images from Bracken Cave where they nest.
Bracken Bat Cave is located near the Natural Bridge Caverns and the grounds are quite nice. Here are some images of the surrounding area.
