This site launched in 2003 as a place for my high school students to find daily assignments. Now I use it to publish some of my personal projects and photography. This space is also maintained to house two parked domains, pmyearbook.com, which publishes spring events for Perry Meridian High School, and southsidehistory.com, which showcases past projects of my honors classes.

Action Photography

Capturing moments with a fast shutter speed has always allowed me to appreciate the complexity of movement through space.

Nature Photography

Whether in a rural setting or a city, every once in awhile I find my inner Thoreau and stop long enough to notice the world around me.

Portraits

The challenge of capturing personalities of friends and family through both staged and candid photos has always brought me joy.

Concert Photography

Capturing the passion of musicians performing live is the perfect combination of action and portrait photography.

Candids

Being a "wallflower" and capturing moments for others to enjoy has always given me a purpose in my photography.

Clothing

I enjoy designing my own shoes and clothing for concerts, organizations, and my fandoms.

LEGO

LEGO engineering brings me relaxation, joy, and a trove of unique gifts to create for my friends.

Paper and Publishing

Using photoshop and a color laser printer allows me to create cards, gifts, and mementos.

Home Decor

Making changes with paint or more simple rearranging, I like to freshen up spaces in my home.

Gettin' Crafty

Sometimes my creative energy finds other mediums as an outlet.
