Story Telling…

When I was a child, I loved hearing stories. Any kind of story. Especially on the radio. Stories of far off adventures, of different times, of epic struggles. They fired my imagination to the point where I'd conjure up images in my head of the various scenes as they played out in dramatic fashion. I still love listening to the radio today.

The difference now is that I can illustrate these stories visually...with my camera. That's what I do for a large number of my clients—tell their story, almost always at their location. It's especially fruitful when I have a bit of time to light a scene, and to visually explore what is often overlooked.

To me, it's like a school "field trip" where we'd go off to a new place, and explore a world never seen or experienced before. It's akin to being an "input junkie," in the best possible way. I find the world to be endlessly fascinating, and find great satisfaction in sharing that fascination with others.  

Join us as we share a few images from past endeavors to "tell stories...". These are a few images from Covington Aircraft in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. They rebuild/refurbish Pratt & Whitney PT-6 jet engines, which are often used on corporate jets. They are very good at what they do...
