Men's Health

The current issue of Men's Health (Nov. 2008) has a portrait I shot in Frontenac, Kansas awhile back. It was part of their Belly Off! program which features reader weight loss stories. Fairly straight-forward shoot. Everything was outside and in multiple locations, so I went with a simple, one light set-up.

Sam's Throne

Spent this past weekend climbing and enjoying the beautiful weather out at Sam's Throne in Northwest Arkansas. Below, Dianna getting ready to climb the fist-crack Boston Rag on the Throne Proper.

Public Enemy

September was a busy month, hence the zero blog posts. Hopefully I'll reverse that habit now. Above is a shot of Chuck D of Public Enemy for the Clinton School of Public Service. He gave an interesting (but sometimes rambling) talk about black America and the current presidential race. It would have been a lot better if he would have been able to connect all of his ideas into a greater theme, instead he just diverged into rants.

Below is James Polshek, the architect of the Clinton Presidential Library. I didn't realize what a bad-ass Polshek was in the architecture world, but that's probably because I don't know anything about the architecture world. But he's the guy that designed the newly opened Newseum in Washington and he's working on the current update to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (as well as around 200 other buildings you've probably seen around the world).
