I’ve been working a lot in Selma recently since agreeing to design the Selma Visitor Guide. While there, I did a shoot at the Selma House Tea Room — they are running a half-page advertisement and will be featured in the signature dish section under desserts… Here are a few of the shots from that [...]
Shadow Catchers: Sets of Variations
Sometimes you just have to experiment with multiple variations to get just the right look— as you can see, this one was an unusual trial and error that ended well once it ended. A designer should always expect revisions and never stop trying to meet the needs of his/her client.
VaultPress by AUTOMATTIC – Worth. Every. Dime.
I’ve recently started using VaultPress by AUTOMATTIC. It’s a fully integrated, automated backup system that keeps your site perfectly safe from any catastrophe. Every post, picture, and page. Every comment, revision, and setting. Everything backed up in near realtime. Yes, that was almost a direct quote from their about page, but it’s the truth! The [...]
Shadow Catchers: A Beautiful Transformation
I recently worked on a project for Shadow Catchers, a regular client of mine dealing in art. My original task was to design a full page advertisement featuring one of their best selling pieces of art, and although that design was eventually shelved for another of my designs, the project was a success. Above is the [...]

Harriott 2 Riverboat, Before and After
Not every photograph that I work with is originally my shot. Some of the projects that I design have supplied photography from agencies or local photographers, and others use stock imagery. Additionally, not every shot I take or that is supplied to me is exactly like myself or the client wants. In those instances, adjustments, enhancements or [...]

Although the 2012 Visitor Guide won’t be available to the general public until the New Year, here’s a sneak peak of the final guide. The Official 2012 Montgomery & River Region Visitor Guide is the perfect companion to anyone looking to explore Montgomery and the surrounding River Region, and I am not just saying that [...]
Hyundai Power Transformers Open House
A month ago, Hyundai Power Transformers hired me to cover the Grand Opening Ceremonies for their new plant in Montgomery, Alabama. Here are a few images from that event…
Union Station and the Montgomery Visitor Center
I do a lot of work for the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce and the Montgomery Visitor Bureau, so it’s only fitting that I have a few shots of Union Station and the Montgomery Visitor Center. Yesterday, I was asked if I could provide some shots of the Visitor Center and that got me to [...]

Vintage 1951 with the Swinging Medallions
The AlleyBAR in downtown Montgomery recently hosted a private party for Vintage 1951 with the amazing band, The Swinging Medallions. This was a performance to behold, but regretfully—I was unable to stay the night. I did however manage to grab several shots for RSVP Montgomery and the AlleyBAR, one of which is shown here. For [...]
