“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.

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.

The photo that started my love affair with photography. Taken sometime around 2007. Go Green.
