In February, I stepped away from full-time freelance photography and crossed over “to the dark side” of Public Relations. I am now the Communications Coordinator for SRVS (pronounced “Serves”). SRVS is a non-profit in Memphis that provides various services to people with disabilities. This has been a good opportunity to utilize and develop some of my other skill sets like writing, graphic design, web and social media development. “More tools for the old tool box,” as some would say. There is still some photography work here and there. Also, I have found some potential documentary projects amongst the people supported through SRVS that I hope to pursue in the near future. Here are some samples of my photo work at SRVS.
I still keep a toe in the world of freelancing by working Saturdays for The Commercial Appeal. It helps with the transition of working a 8-5 desk job to have a day where I am out and about making photos. Here are some samples of my recent freelancing work.
Wow! 2013 was an adventurous year. In spite of all the people I had the privilege of photographing this year, these first two photos really represent the absolute best moments of my 2013. My wife and I welcomed our first child into the world in October. We are enjoying the grand adventure that is parenthood and having a blast along the way. The photo at the top is one of my favorites photos of him so far, he is about 6 weeks old.
So, I hope everyone had a Happy New Year. Here’s to all the adventures to come in 2014. Please enjoy some highlights of my work from this past year.
Hundreds of women ran, climbed, crawled and bounced through the Dirty Girl Mud Run, a 5k obstacle course, at Shelby Farms. The Dirty Girl Mud Run, a for-profit company, donates a portion of its proceeds to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Dirty Girl exceeded $250,000 in monetary and in-kind donations to the foundation in 2012 and hopes to raise $500,000 in donations in 2013.
