    Through Indiana and Illinois

    Whenever we travel to Missouri to see my wife’s family, we go through the flat farmlands of Indiana and Illinois. I love mountain ranges just as much as the next person but there is something to the flat farmlands that I love. It’s what I’ve grown up around and there’s something about looking out across […]

  • Scenes from Austin

    Scenes from Austin

    I had a chance to visit Austin, Texas for the first time with a friend. We were there for an arts conference, connecting with artists of all disciplines from all over the country. I documented our drive there and had some free time to walk around. My only regret: I didn’t take enough film. Next […]

  • One Day You Finally Knew

    One Day You Finally Knew

  • Around the House

    Around the House

    Sometimes when I’m getting tired of sitting at my desk and need to move around a bit, I grab my camera and snap some close details of light hitting objects around the house. I have a handful of these and I really enjoy looking at them.

    Light Filters In

    This week we welcomed our daughter, Eliza Jean French. This first week with her has been something that I can’t yet explain. Before she was born, I had felt I wasn’t ready for her to be here yet. I’m honestly not sure what would have made me feel more prepared but now that she is […]

  • Benoit’s Journey

    Benoit’s Journey

    This was a video I got to shoot in collaboration with Hope Collaborative and Nadus Films. Hope Collaborative was kind enough to involve me on this project and Nadus provided their new filmmaking institute for non-profits. We ended up interviewing one of Hope Collaborative’s students, Benoit. Nadus Films: https://nadusfilms.com/Hope Collaborative: https://hopeccd.org/

    Center of Longing

    I want to know if you know how to melt in that fierce heat of living falling toward the center of your longing. David Whyte, Self Portrait It comes with no surprise that David Whyte often spurs me into thinking more deeply about my life, or at least allows me to stop and consider “Who […]

  • The Limits of Inspiration

    The Limits of Inspiration

    I recently hit another barrier or block and this time, I realized it was because of something that I least expected. I was intaking too much inspiration. Let me explain what I mean by this. As a photographer, I’m always looking to find inspiration through the work of others. I love discovering photographers on Instagram […]
