Architecture of Louisville
I like Louisville a lot. It’s one of my favorite cities in the Southeast. Not too big, like Atlanta, and not too small like some other “larger” cities in the South. Louisville has a similar charm and historical tradition to places like New Orleans and Charleston. As a bourbon lover, it’s also a destination […]

Slaughterhouse Whiskey Concept Art
This was a fun project! During Halloween, I bought a Michael Myers costume. There are lots of reasons why having this costume is phenomenal, but most of them revolve around how this costume has a great tendency to creep people out. Especially my wife. After buying the costume, I walked into a liquor store (finding […]

Music City Center – Nashville, Tennessee
This is the Music City Center in Nashville…and the image that started it all.

Behind the Scenes – Chattanooga Whiskey
High-proof liquor and fire! What could go wrong? First, let me tell you about this whiskey. I’m pretty new to the whole “liking bourbon/whiskey” thing. I was more of a beer drinker. As I started photographing more liquor, I got to try more of it….and I got to try it in several different forms. Turns […]

Behind the Scenes – Sexton Irish Whiskey
When I’m not shooting some type of commercial architecture or landscape photos, I’ve been spending my time working with liquor. It’s great because A) I can do it from the studio and B) I can drink it afterwards. Those are two pretty damned big positives. This shoot was cool because I envisioned this dark and […]

The Story Behind the Photo – JW Marriott Nashville
I love this photo. It’s the newly completed JW Marriott Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee and it hits the architecture photography trifecta; great architecture, great light and a great sky. It’s very purplish-pink…but that’s how it looked in real life. It was just an epic sunset that turned the entire sky a vibrant mix of oranges, […]

Well, I know I had never heard of it before. When I began this side-project/mission to document historical and haunted architecture, Rodney, Mississippi was not on my list.

2019 NFL Draft – Nashville
I get asked the following question quite often: “What has been your favorite job so far?” That’s always been a pretty tough question to answer, so I’ll respond something along the lines of “I dunno, it’s like picking which child is your favorite….” Well, that was then. Things have changed. The NFL kinda beat the […]
