The move to California hasn’t been the smoothest one. There have been many ups and downs across nearly every aspect of my life. Photography has not been exempt from this. In the past eight months my camera has sat in a closet. It’s been a rough eight months! That said, things are getting better and I’ve… Read more »
They took almost a year to finish editing—due to life, not difficulty of editing—but I can finally share my photos of the Louisiana State Capitol. I am not a fan of the tower layout. The legislative chambers are filled with marble, and are quite grand, as is the lobby. However, the giant office tower exterior… Read more »
My trip for the solar eclipse in August included visits to Atlanta, Georgia and Columbia, South Carolina to visit the capitols. Here is Georgia.
Michelle and I took a trip to New York and New Jersey in June to visit the capitols. We were fortunate to visit the New Jersey State House a few days before it closed for four years of renovations.

I kinda want to return to Richmond to re-shoot these. I’m not happy with the rotunda shot, and I’d like to find a better vantage point to shoot the… Read more »
I attended a conference Washington, D.C. about a month ago. Coincidently, I visited D.C. around the exact same dates last year. This time, however, I took a couple side trips to the Pennsylvania and Virginia state capitols in Harrisburg and Richmond, respectively. You may recall that one of the items on my bucket list is to visit all… Read more »
I saw the film Loving last month, and was inspired to recreate one of Grey Villet’s shots for LIFE. I also made a donation to the ACLU, which I encourage you to do, too. Enjoy!
