2017 Solar Eclipse
Just a short video I made from the footage I shot of the total solar eclipse over North America on Monday (Aug 21). This was filmed under mostly cloudy skies in north central Indiana, outside of the path of totality, so it’s only a partial eclipse from this viewpoint. The clouds worked both for and against me, making for some great moody imagery while also causing the sun to appear fuzzy and out of focus. Overall, it was a cool experience.
-22-
In 2012, the US Department of Veteran’s Affairs estimated that an average of 22 veterans committed suicide every day. Recent estimates place that number closer to 20 a day, and while that represents a decline, it is still 20 too many.
The -22- project is something I was invited to participate in as a photographer, specifically to help create a series of photos representing the struggle that many veterans face after returning from the battlefield. The ultimate message of the project is two-fold: to remind combat veterans to do a commo check and call a brother, and to bring greater awareness to the public at large of a legitimate social crisis while giving family and friends an intimate look at the kinds of battles their Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines may be fighting even after coming home.

a lie
Don’t ask me
to save you–
I can’t even
save myself.
Sanctuary
I love
the statement made
in the art
that is your soul
the expression
in your eyes
when naked and bare
exposing yourself
to a watching world
you lie to me
and promise me sanctuary
from the world
from the storm
from myself
arise
radiance
against the backdrop
of a fevered night
and now a morning
draped in silvered silence
awakens untempered dreams
waiting to be wrought
in the forge of tomorrow
I Disappear
I disappear
not because of you
because of me
because of this
because of that
for you
Inside of me
I retreat
away from me
away from us
away from this and that
Withdrawal
without surrender
with every regret
and every reason why
and why not
because
(there)
is not an answer
