My Lightroom Workflow: Importing – Part I
Let’s face it, when we get home from a shoot, we just want to throw the card into the computer, copy the photos over and start editing. Whoa there, pardner.

Desert Storm (No, not the war…)
Desert Storm was a car rally staged in the Arizona desert between March 3 and 6, 2011. I volunteered as a member of the media team to photograph the event. They stationed me at a what they called the “Arizona turnaround.” This was where the cars finished stage 3, turned around and went back the […]
