Congrats to Samantha Crain on making the Top 50 Albums of the year via NPR.

I had fun shooting promo pics for this album. Plus Joey is one of my favorite songs of the year.

More to come soon. <3

I get a good feeling going through old show pics.

I get a good feeling going through old show pics. I also go through phases where I shoot 10 times the amount of stuff that I get a chance to sit down and look at. Let alone focus on posting to any sort of social media.

When possible, I like to aim on being in the real world even when I do a piss poor job of it. So, when I do get a minute, it’s kind of cool to look back on moments of time I floated through that I never even felt like I digested in the first place. I’m sure I’ll look back on the days I’m living now and think the same thing.

Back when it still made sense to do things. Another random night in Bushwick. All during a phase where I shot about a show every night. @pottymouthworld & heliotropes at @sheastadiumbk for @imposemagazine. Roughly 5 years ago

These are scary and amazing times we are living in

These are scary and amazing times we are living in. The power of protest has brought us into so many conversations that people would have thought to be insane a year ago. I feel like the world is on the cusp of another revolution and it feels amazing.
Two things. First, this EP cover I had the amazing chance to shoot for @deathvalleygirls is out today. To get to shoot an EP Vicover for a Daniel Johnston song done by Death Valley Girls. I dont know what to say. It doesn’t get much better than that. Thanks to all these just lovely people. Thanks @suicidesqueeze . RIP Daniel Johnston. Up on @floodmagazine and out today.

DVG released a round of signed copies and donated the money to NAACP. If you feel so inclined you may also look into donating money to @innocenceproject, @austinjusticecoalition or your local group/charity helping people out in this time. Comment below if you know of more.
Second, I'm doing a couple of photo series called Projected Revolution and Oklahoma Prison Portraits, or something of that nature. Feel free to comment or message me if you've been moved by or participated in the protests. It doesn't matter what city you are in. Feel free to comment or tag people if you've had any experience in the prison system and have any interest in telling your story. Again, I'm in Oklahoma right now but it doesn't matter what city or state you are in.
Wear a mask. Be safe. I'm proud of everyone out there fighting ✊🏻

A few years ago I saw a video called “I saw a Ti

A few years ago I saw a video called “I saw a Tiger” You’ll know what I’m talking about soon enough. And I found out the guy in them was from Oklahoma. And he sold Tigers to Shaq. And then a LOT of other things happened.
I dipped my toe, but I never got all the way into documentary film making. However, I always said if I did, this is the thing I would want to make a documentary about. Well, someone did it and a couple days ago it finally came to Netflix

I’ll say this as one of these rare breeds that just doesn’t like true crime TV shows. The new documentary series Tiger King about Joe Exotic is something special.

Photos taken early 2018 in Downtown Norman.

I had so, so many favorite, but I spose I’ll keep it to 10 to remain elusive.
Portland ~ I’ll be at your door tomorrow morn until the 10th. Let’s shoot!
Norman, OK ~ I’ve got an art show with @nongrataperformance tomorrow. Hit me up for tickets. It’s one of the most amazing unique things I’ve ever seen and I’ve got three prints hanging.
Las Vegas ~ I’ll be there the 15th-18th same rules apply.

From the archives. A few pics I shot one night when I was downtown in Austin doing @angelolsenmusic & @hand.habits for @blareca Magazine at the Paramount Theatre.
I typically try to let pictures speak for themselves, but sometimes it hits you when you're out. Mostly shooting alone. Every person has a different story. The artist, the fans, the people who can't go inside. I don't think people's political beliefs always matter as much as their will to move in the right direction. Don't ever let your party paint you into a corner or stunt your ability to discern information. No matter what you think, I think you can acknowledge this country has a ways to go.

Surprise trip to Austin. Shooting @pearlearlmusic

Surprise trip to Austin. Shooting @pearlearlmusic at @hotelvegastexas tomorrow. Hire me for Saturday! Or I’ll just drink bloody Mary’s and go swimming. Whatever.

I caught the 20th Annual Okie Noodling Festival a bit back
So, I’ve been thinking about slowly comprising a photo book of Oklahoma eccentricities and oddities. I’ve got the Apache Rattlesnake festival, Arm Wrestling Pro Am, Thunder Valley Race Track, I wanna hit the Blue Whale of Catoosa and some other things. What should I see next?? Heeeelp

Proud as I can be. So, last month the good ol bois

Proud as I can be. So, last month the good ol bois of Des Rocs were gracious enough to have me on tour. They just got asked to take stage with @therollingstones 😱😱😱. Too wild.
Here a mini Texas tour recap video I did with them last month. Heads up Philadelphia. Rolling Stones + @iamdesrocs. July 23rd

I like to shoot anywhere that may be misunderstood

I like to shoot anywhere that may be misunderstood. Las Vegas is a great example.
I think most people think of it as either some kind of douchehaven of America or an adult disneyland. But, the world’s not all black and white.
People don't choose where they are born. And to say they choose where they end up is only a half truth. Your environment lends to your view of the world. If your environment is powerful enough it can influence who you are.
You might consider yourself lucky if you spend enough days under to the sun to personally get to shape who you are. And to be proud of your place in the world. Most of us are just surviving. With our creativity or will in one hand and our dues and debt in the other.

Working almost 100% freelance has been a rocky roa

Working almost 100% freelance has been a rocky road.
The past couple months have been a whirlwind. I feel amazing to be half way caught up on work finally. As a former shy little kid who grew up to be a community college flunky, I feel like I've learned one important lesson on this trip. Gratitude. Thanks to everyone who helps keep this photography endeavor alive, your mere existence is paramount.
I feel like I haven’t had the chance to thank everyone individually hired me for a project, so you here we go.
Serene Bacigalupi, first off for opening a store in Brooklyn. Congrats on everything. I was blown away to shoot with @ninaburns from America's next top model. Ive been shown time and time again that you don't have to be a dick to get things done. Professionalism is just respect and kindness.

Max and Brett at @matteprojects for putting on the Black Party in Brooklyn. Lez Jaaam, Poolboy, Kite Flying Robot, Native Sun, @psychoticreactionband Carly Gwin and the Sin, My So Called Band, Burl, She Sir, Mykenzie, Austin at the Prarie Chicken House and everyone else I've had the pleasure of working with recently. @sxsw , Mariah Kalhor Reality, Brockstar Foundation, @milkflowernyc , @babysallright and @scratchkitchenandcocktails. Security Options for being my Oklahoma local work consistent. Everyone who's bought any of my artwork. My wonderful counterpart Brandi McCoy and everyone who's doing the great things at Roots Salon. Jonathan, Pamela, Serene and Jeremy for letting me sleep on your couches.
This is starting to feel like a CD insert. Thanks to everyone who's booked anything with me.
Texas Mini Tour starts today with @iamdesrocs and the Struts

Just a real pleasure. Big thank you to @sxsw for having me back and everyone that hired me as a roaming wastiod. I learned how to survive on bloody mary’s and cold brew. A couple favorite pics.
