I love this photo of a Matchless motorcycle that I took at the American Historic Motorcycle Racing Association even in Henrietta, Oklahoma recently. I might have to print this and mount it in my shop.

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.

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.

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

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 […]

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.
