Latest Update

Hi All,
Ok I know I missed the last update, but I do have a good reason. I have been doing some unexpected travelling lately and needed to get some things squared away. A recent trip to California gave me some good shots in the Joshua Tree National Park. I'll be posting a link to those soon. Next up was a trip to the great state of Texas for a huge wedding. This was a truly grand event and an excellent opportunity to work with superstar Dallas based photographer Jason Wynn. Looking forward to working more events with him. Thanks Jason for calling me!
I'm in the final stages on getting the studio up and running. Look for my next post to include some links to new photos and a more detailed update on the studio!

Where are we?

Hi All,
Just a quick post to let you know I will be updating the blog at least weekly going forward. Many changes are underway including the opening of a new studio spot in Downtown Memphis. The place is going to be HOT and available for use by you outstanding photogs and artists out there. If you have been looking for a space to shoot in with a moderate set of equipment already in place then this will be the spot for you. Also if you would like o have a gallery showing of your works we can accommodate that as well.
Look for more news very soon. Next posting on May 20th!

New Update: Contests and such

Hello all!

First of all let me say that we have had an amazing first month. Terrific support from friends and a slew of new clients we are eager to work with.

I also wanted to thank those people who helped me in a contest I entered sponsored by Pop Photo magazine. Those who allowed me to take their photo, help out on the set, or generally gave great feedback and support I thank you. Click Here for the contest homepage.

I've put my entries on my Flickr page since they are a little hard to find on the contest site:

Grand Opening !

Wow. The Grand Opening of Studio Two Eleven. I can hardly believe I am writing such a statement. I've dreamed of this day for so long it seems impossible that it is finally here. Now I know that all things are possible.
This is an incredible adventure for me. I hope that the photographic endeavors we undertake in the near and not so distant future will bring visual joy to many people. As much joy as it brings to me to convey it to you.

I have so many people to thank for this day:
Mom - my Mom - for unwavering love and support all my life! I Love You!
Camille - my sister - for constant inspiration, dedication and supportation (I had to do it. LOL)
Darrel - my best friend - for just the right words at just the right times
Kai Cai - super talented, multifaceted designer and stylist - for consistent support and great friendship
Stan Demoss - exceptional chef - for priceless friendship and the best food ANYWHERE
S. Julian - my biz partner and rock star photog - for sharing your talent and support of Studio Two Eleven
Norman Gilbert - Photog Extraordinaire - for access to our new space and continued support and mentoring
Jake Morrow - Photog Extraordinaire II - for stirring up my creative juices and showing me new photographic possibilities

Many thanks to a host of friends and family who gave, called, wrote and stopped by our grand opening festivities. We had a great time with our "Photo Booth" (thanks Jake!) as you will see from the photos. Much more to come!
