Just stay on the sand. I love these kinds of assignments…and these type of clients. Bay Magazine is visually helmed by Bruce and Suzette Moyer up at the St. Petersburg Times, and they do an...

Color is what drives me and how I see. It’s the first thing I look for when breaking down a scene, and the last thing that stands in the way of a good photo. Without it, you’re in...

random gratuitousness
