“If fascism comes, it will not be identified with any 'shirt' movement, nor with an 'insignia,' but it will probably be 'wrapped up in the American flag and heralded as a plea for liberty and preservation of the constitution.” -James Waterman Wise, Jr. [Georgia Congressman 1915-1925]

Armstrong Woods in Guerneville, CA. 11 years ago. One of my first times using an adapted M42 lens to a digital camera. #canon7D #50mm #SMCTakumar #Takumar #M42 #ArmstrongWoods #Guerneville #California #Roots #forest #nature

One of the first photo shoots I did for a buddy once I finally bought my own strobes. Always been proud of how these turned out. Shane Brady was a great subject. #portrait #strobes #model #hockey #pain #rangers #ray #lightning

The photo that started my love affair with photography. Taken sometime around 2007. Go Green. #gogreen #msu #michiganstate #michiganstateuniversity

“A life that partakes even a little of friendship, love, irony, humor, parenthood, literature, and music, and the chance to take part in battles for the liberation of others cannot be called 'meaningless'.” -Christopher Hitchens #losangeles #DTLA #85mm #beauty #photography #streetphotography #bokeh

Took this picture almost 10 years ago using an old (1986) Soviet made Jupiter-9 85mm. Will always be one of my favorites. Shout out to the helicopter. #losangeles #canon7D #M42 #85mm #contrast #DTLA #helicopter #beauty #photography #streetphotography #downtown #bnw #blackandwhite #bnwphotography
