Here are a few from a fun filled portrait session this past Sunday.

Industrial Shoot with complimentary flame thrower

Recently, I had the pleasure of working with EyeonDigital and SMS Millcraft on a photo/videoshoot. Part of the shoot involved a torch powered by a MACH 3 engine. Essentially, I photographed the machine/ process from a huge box the size of a cargo container. I was instructed to use regular earplugs and firing range headphones. Definitely one of the most interesting subjects I’ve photographed in recent months.

I took this image last week after my cat Simon alerted me there was something crawling on the tree outside. The color on this lizard was beautiful.

Yesterday’s job- second highest point in Mississippi!!!!

I’ve been quiet for way too long! From now on, expect regular updates, probably weekly.

Yesterday, I was contracted to photograph Chevron’s executive vice president Mike Wirth as he toured the Chevron refinery in Pascagoula, MS. They have a new structure and he was checking it out. Part of the assignment was to photograph him interacting with the workers, but also to follow him wherever he went. Eventually, it was time to go to the top of the new structure. It happens to be the second highest structure in Mississippi, with the Beau Rivage Casino in Biloxi, MS having a slightly higher structure.
We climbed four flights of steps, then entered a very small, outside elevator and went to the top. It was an amazing view! My tour guide told me on clear day you can view the Dauphin Island Bridge in Mobile County, Alabama, which is approximately 25 miles away.
I cannot post many photos, but here are a few from yesterday.

Here’s a new image for your viewing pleasure.
