This is a little drill I teach my photography students, No, not roller skating in a poodle skirt! Tonight, I photographed the South Baptist Church car show and I alway try to find a photo that doesn't answer the obvious questions. In this case, the obvious is a photo of people looking at old cars. This shot is much more fun!

Tonight was South Tulsa Baptist Church's car show. I took a lot of photos for the church showing the massive size of the show, but I had the most fun finding detail in all the cool cars.

This photograph is another installment in the scarf and purse photo shoot. I had Lila and Avery run through a field near Jenks.

This week I gave my photography students an assignment to explore Okmulgee an find something interesting. This is my effort. This is a thrift store that use to be an Otasco. My first bike was a Flying "O". What memories!

This is a portrait of Okmulgee barber, Ralph Kovarik. He and his wife, Capitola,  have been cutting hair for over 50 years. Now their two sons work along side of them in their shop.

This is a photograph of Dr. Carrie Sessom. Although a dentist by day, she agreed to model for the purse and scarf project I have been working on over the past few weeks. The camera likes her so well the dentist thing may just become a hobby. We shot this photo about 25 feet outside of the BOK Center in downtown Tulsa.

My family and I along with some of our closest friends spent the afternoon in my wife's home town of Dewey. One weekend every year Dewey celebrates it's western heritage and number one son, Tom Mix, by having many western activities. The weekend is a ton of fun and makes for some great photographs.

This morning I shot the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure at the request of my good friend, Leanne Taylor. I am always proud to give back with my photography talents. This event means so much to me not only because of the involvement of close friends but the fact that my sister in law, Becky, is a breast cancer survivor.

This is a portrait of muscians, Fat Kaplin and Kristi Rose after they performed at Ida Red in Tulsa. Fats and Kristi have long been revered as artists of “distinctive personal approach” Kristi Rose as a singer with a voice that can “sing the stars from the heavens” has been compared to artists ranging from Wanda Jackson to Patti Smith. Fats, as a “brilliant multi-instrumentalist” has been sought over the years by artists as diverse as The Tractors, The Manhattan Transfer, Pure Prairie League, Emmy Lou Harris, Nanci Griffith, The Mavericks, Suzy Boggus, Elvis Costello, The Judds, Buddy Miller, Jason Ringenberg, (with and w/o the Scorchers) and in his own Americana chart topping band, Kane-Welch-Kaplin, as well as many, many more. Together, Fats and Kristi Rose have created a musical genre, (and way of life) known as Pulp Country.

This is a photograph of Susan Pielsticker modeling in the rain for her scarf and purse line. We worked most of the night, ignored the rain and got some great shots. The images will make their debut on her website in a few weeks.

Friday night, I was on my way home from an event on Brookside in Tulsa. Driving down Peoria, Claude's Hamburgers caught my attention. The was the stools were stacked and the lighting looked like an old painting. I couldn't resist taking a photo.

Tulsa photographer, Jeremy Charles, has kindly agreed to come down to OSUIT and help me by teaching a couple of courses this semester. This morning I talked him into being a model for me. Who knew he was so shy. Say cheese!

Today, my family and I visited the Oklahoma City area. We made a point to go by the Oklahoma City Memorial. During my tenure at the Tulsa World, I spent countless hours shooting photos at this site: search & rescue, memorial construction and several anniversary ceremonies. Now as I return to the site removed from my role in the media, I can't help but appreciate what a beautiful and meaningful place it has become.

Today, my family and I spent the day in the Oklahoma CIty area. After grabbing some dinner in Okarche and visiting the OKC Bombing Memorial, we ventured back to Tulsa along Route 66. While driving through Arcadia, I notice an orchard highlighted by the light of a full moon. I couldn't resist taking a photo.

This is a photograph of Rosie and her puppie, Ross, during a fashion shoot at my studio. This image will be in a collection for a handbag and scarf line being produced in Tulsa. When you think scarfs you automatically think bulldogs!
