Atmus wanders into a home (contact sheet)

A contact sheet from a shoot last night. Excited to be bringing the camera out for some projects recently... more coming soon!!!


I've been under a rock working on my qualifying paper in my MFA program, probably the most intensive written piece I will make here! The last few months have been full of research and sketching, but I'm start...

Making some sketches with some new eyeshine mods I made for Atmus. Playing with the different contexts I might use this effect, very pleased with how well the cellphone like catches the reflection!

Dangerfox at AC2018

Dangerfox at AC2018

A couple photos of artist/fursuiter DangerFox on their pennyboard at AC 2018. I spotted them walking around the convention floor and asked if they'd be willing to model for a few shots out on the roof. Love their style!
Hi-res files in the attachements!

Atmus Drying

Atmus Drying

A sketch from my time at Anderson Ranch. Still thinking about how to make it more clear that Atmus is being inflated by the fan he is drying on. Liking how the decapitated head looks though! And the cord too. Will probably try reshooting another time in my own studio to give it a bit more of a setting.

Cambria Vaping (sequence)

Hello!!! I am back from my residency at Anderson Ranch with a brain full of new ideas and new friends. My second year of grad school starts on Monday, summer is nearly over!!
Happily, the fervor of the last few weeks has given me some distance from my Anthrocon photos, and now I'm enjoying coming back to them with fresh eyes. Here's a little se...

(contact sheet) Atmus in the woods at night

Another set I'm still looking at to try and find my favorite frame, I like the kind of game-cam feeling of these. I took these photos out in the park in my neighborhood, one of the first places I took my camera as a teenager. I would go out at night with my camera and a flashlight and make self-portraits, it was interesting to return to the whole e...

BLFC 2018 Patron Album

Here we go! My first patron exclusive convention album. Below is a dropbox link to around 100 photos selected down from everything I shot at Biggest Little Fur Con in Reno, NV this year. The album is a mix of posed portraits and convention wandering. 

If you find a photo of yourself or your friend that you'd like to share, you are wel...

Atmus in the forest

Atmus in the forest

Here's the frame I ended up choosing from this shot, full size is in the attachment. Looking forward to making prints of this one :)
A friend mentioned that this shot reminded them of old Disney films. The Bambi reference is there of course, but I also think there is something here about the way disney layered out their forest backgrounds on tho...

Thinking about animal behavior. Another shot from the morning out in PA woods. These feel silly but I guess that's there in all the work anyway! Kind of like the set more than any individual frame. Maybe the final piece is a series. Thinking out loud!!

Woo!! I'm finally back on solid ground here in Albuquerque. I have SO many photos to go through and I'm excited to share a lot of them here.

Here is a contact sheet from a shoot I was really excited about. When I was back staying at my family home, I planned a shoot early in the morning at sunrise, wandering through the old nature trail behind my...

From my time spent with Wildlife studios up in Arcata, CA. I figured this one might make a perfect desktop wallpaper.

(Wallpaper) Midwest Furfest 2012 Group Photo

Another wallpaper size image from my archive. Here is a fursuit group photo I shot at Midwest Furfest 2012. The image was shot on 4x5 color negative, which gives it a lot better detail and color I think. I doubt all the fursuiters in attendance would fit on this little block outside the hotel anymore. In 2012 the convention attendance was 3,216, th...

I'm getting ready to leave tomorrow for a two week trip back to Pennsylvania. I'll be landing in Pittsburgh fo...

Here's the image I ended up picking out from the photoshoot. I decided a square composition made the most sense for focusing on the reflection. Full-resolution in the attachment!

Contact sheet- Atmus has a tear

Contact sheet- Atmus has a tear

Just going through my archives to find a few things I think might be of interest. Here is a contact sheet from the initial photoshoot when I found a tear in Atmus's body. I liked keeping the head on, but I wanted to be able to look at the tear—like I could with the head off. I ultimately ended up reshooting the piece with a mirror in order to giv...

Atmus on the Sandia Mountains

Here is a video piece I made this spring, dancing up on the Sandia mountains in Albuquerque, NM. I'm still working on my dance moves, and might go back someday with higher-quality camera equipment. Song is "Living my Life" by Deerhunter (haha, yes it was on purpose!).


The Password for the video is "deerdance"

Baby's first post!! To get started here, I'm uploading a few hi-res landscape images that I think might also make for some choice computer wallpapers. I've got a few selected that I'll be uploading over the next few days. But if you have an image in mind that you'd like to see, let me know!
