I’m in a group show that’s opening in Oakland, CA this friday! Six prints.

Cabover Faceplant
Kincaid is an old mining site in west-central Nevada, near Hawthorne. Abandoned for many years, it was surprising to find that there are now people living there, working the mine again. Luckily, the most interesting parts of the site are far enough from the trailers that the inhabitants never knew we were there. It was […]
New Interview
Night shooter and producer of the short film “Night of the Living Photographers” Andy Frazer asked me to do an interview for his blog a while back. He finally talked me into it and it’s online now. I talk about influences, the appeal of junk and why the workshops I teach with Joe Reifer kick […]
Alcatraz Industries Building
Here’s the Industries Building. Unfortunately, this whole part of the island is crumbling and reclaimed by roosting seagulls, so it’s off-limits. When I arrived at this spot, several photographers were a little further down the ramp shooting this same angle. I opted to wait for them to finish and set up higher on the ramp […]

I let the exterior, bathed in strong sodium vapor light, burn in for 200 seconds while I lit the interior with natural LED flashlight. Rather than shining it directly onto the walls, I […]
More Alcatraz Laundry
Another view inside the rusting and decaying laundry building on Alcatraz. That’s the north tower of the Golden Gate bridge visible in the window. Note how the sea air has even consumed the metal window mullions. The window is now sealed by a single sheet of obnoxiously reflective plexiglas, forcing me to strip in the window […]
The Big Shot
Finally! Here’s the season 1 episode of The Big Shot that I appeared on last year. I have minimal screen time, all in the 2nd half. The season 2 episode I shot earlier this month will be broadcast in Singapore in September. Thanks to producer Tan Ing How for putting it online for me.
Alcatraz Laundry
In July I was able to tag along with a group shooting on Alcatraz at night. The tour was a little regimented and most of the island was bathed in murky fog and sodium vapor light, but it was an insanely good time, nonetheless. I mean, how many people get to stay on Alcatraz taking […]
