We landed Chili’s as a client this year and I got to do some facility shots. The interiors turned out great, but I really liked the feel of this exterior with the clouds creeping in.

JR Custom Metal Screen Shot
In this screen shot I got to photograph JR Custom Metal. They have all these cool machines that weld, so my challenge was to get a good shot of the machine, it’s operator and the welding in process. I like how the live weld looks, no Photoshop on this one, it’s straight out of the camera.
Food From Yia Yia’s
Sitting in LA La waiting for my Yia Yia… ok, the old song has nothing to do with PB&J’s Euro Bistro, but their food is tasty and nice too look at too. Although I wouldn’t recommend looking too long because someone else will eat it if you don’t.
Margarita’s Cantina At Night
I recently updated some photos of Margarita’s Cantina just west of Douglas and Hillside. Upon leaving i noticed the street was wet and would make for a interesting night image. Here you see the headlights of cars that have passed by during the long exposure of the buildings exterior. I like the way this turned out.
Wheeler Kelly Hagney Project
This image is a few years old and is a screen shot from their web site. Now this little strip mall north of the corner of 21st and Greenwich is almost entirely full. I always recommend that clients shoot things when they are brand new. Buildings, machines, products, facilities anything really. You never know when you may need that photograph in the future to show off the past.
Wichita Sessions Wrap Party With Jenny Wood Trio & Dead Silos
I photographed a few shows for Wichita Sessions season this past year and they had the wrap party the other night. Jenny Wood Trio entertained first and she has a great groove to her music. Jenny makes you want to give up on a singing career she’s so good. Then Dead Silos, a spin off group from Black Gasoline, played and they were excellent. I’m on a hunt for their CD’s now. I was really impressed by their style and feel. Check them both out if you can.
Here is the full gallery on FB.
December Creative Rush With Gooding and Wade Hampton
I was asked to photograph the Creative Rush event this month while musician Gooding and artist Wade Hampton discussed their creative process. Very interesting conversation between the long time friends and they had a great crowd. Here is a link to my FB gallery for the whole event.
Wichita Swim Club
Low light shooting with the wrong camera for the job is always a challenge, but I’m very practiced. Now I have new gear so it won’t be an issue at all in the future.
Elliot Road – Wichita Sessions Taping
I had not seen or even heard of the brothers who are Elliot Road, but I’m a huge fan now. Some of my favorite music I own is their CD “Dust Covered Man.” Below is the FB gallery from their Wichita Sessions season 2 show. If you ever get a chance to see Elliot Road do it, they are totally worth the time to go see.

Home Sweet Home Art Show By Wade Hampton
Went to the Naked City Gallery Saturday night to see Wade Hamptons solo show and shot some stills while hanging out. I liked his work, the gallery was full of people and he had little things to eat. See the whole gallery here.
