Our long-time friend Art Atkinson posed for photos with his nieces at OKC’s Bleu Garten.

Art is a long-time family friend who now lives in San Diego. He was in town to see friends and family. Kay and I met him and some of his other family members at OKC’s Bleu Garten. I set up my Toyo View VX-125 film camera and took these photos with my Nikkor-W 210mm F5.6 lens on Ilford Delta Pro 100 film. I am really liking the look I get from Delta Pro 100 developed in Kodak D76.

Oklahoma Living Magazine cover July 2021

My most recent cover image turned into one of my favorite OK Living covers in recent years. I got this assignment to photograph off-road parks across Oklahoma.

Oklahoma Living Magazine cover May 2021

I had the opportunity to photograph the May 2021 cover of Oklahoma Living Magazine. The subject was “careers in the electric coop industry” and I was to photograph several people working at a variety of jobs within the coop industry. I sent to Seminole and Ada, Oklahoma for these photos.

Oklahoma Living August 2020

I forgot to post this cover photo that I did for Oklahoma Living last year during the pandemic. I went to Stillwater to photograph a CareerTech student on a hot July morning. We were able to stay “socially distanced” while I did the shoot.

OK Living Cover May 2020

Before the COVID-19 pandemic I toted my white background and lighting gear to Central Electric Cooperative in Stillwater for a cover shoot for Oklahoma Living Magazine. These usually require a fair amount of work, since I have to take an 11′ roll of white paper with me, plus all the gear to hold the paper […]

Oklahoma Living April 2020 Cover and Feature Story

I always love assignments from Oklahoma Living Magazine. Most are centered around people, and I love photographing people. In this case, I was assigned to photograph a story about Gene Rowe, a farmer in southwest Oklahoma. The story was written by Adam Calaway, one of my favorite writers, so I knew it was going to […]

It was toasty hot, about 98 degrees outside. […]

Goodnight Farms in Chattanooga Oklahoma

In 2017 I photographed a story about Cody Goodnight, co-owner of Goodnight Farms southwest Oklahoma.

I photographed Cody and his father, fiancé and employees on their farm in early spring as they were getting ready for the wheat […]

Volunteer Firefighters for Oklahoma Living

I always love photographing real people doing real things. What could be more fun than photographing volunteer firemen? I got that opportunity recently for Oklahoma Living Magazine. My assignment was to photograph firemen from the Coyle and Woodcrest fire departments in Oklahoma. I had the idea to do a split-shot photo that showed both the […]

Rising from the Ashes – for Kansas Agriculture Magazine

During the summer 2017 I took a trip to western Kansas for a long-time client and photographed a couple of stories in the area.
