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.

From the archives. A few pics I shot one night whe 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. Pics from @therealsurfbort at @babysallright #ineedworkfool

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

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 Austin - Free tonight and tomorrow afternoon Houston - May 7th - House of Blues Dallas - May 8th - House of Blues Holler if you need need to shoot tonight in Austin or May 9th in Dallas. I love you all. See you in Texas.

NYC, see you in two weeks for @matteprojects BLACK music and art project, @bronchoworldwide at @elsewherespace and @leroysplace grand opening 🤘🏻🤪🤘🏻
About 5 years ago .. give or take a week. I set of About 5 years ago .. give or take a week. I set off for my first photo tour; thanks to Impose Magazine. I flew to Seattle and we traveled down the coast shooting shows all the way South to Austin for SXSW. The working photo tour has become a staple for my livelihood, inspiration and heart. In a couple days I take flight to shoot my first Florida beach wedding thanks to Gennsee and Kai. ♥️ The next day I will load my camera & hangover onto a plane and fly straight to Austin to shoot for SXSW. I’ll be in town all week. A couple weeks downtime in OK and I’m back in NYC for some music and the grand opening of Leroy’s Place in Brooklyn. If you want a buddy deal on press photos or have a show, don’t hesitate to shoot me a message. If you’re around these areas, let’s catch up.

It has been brought to my attention that I was som It has been brought to my attention that I was somehow nominated for best photographer in Norman. I don’t know how that happened, but thanks to anyone who voted for me or has encouraged me to go on. It probably wasn’t always good advice, but somehow it has worked out. I kind of envision myself as the the token weirdo photographer of Oklahoma. It feels crazy and from time to time I feel outcast in the community I grew up in. Norman feels a little more straight laced every day. Not to mention the amazing amount of talent that seems to come out of this small college city. So this comes as a big surprise and an honor. Can you tell I’m not good at taking compliments? Anyways, if you feel so inclined, you can vote with the link in my bio for the next couple days. You’re all amazing my lovelies. A couple of shots from the always amazing @pearlearlmusic at @opolispix
