Barry Corbin


Barry Corbin has played major roles in more than 100 movies and television programs.

I made this photograph of Mr. Corbin for a movie in which he played a cowboy, and spent much of the time riding a horse.  That is the real Barry Corbin.

Dan Rather



Dan Rather
was the first television journalist to report the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

He covered the Watergate investigation, the impeachment of President Nixon, then went on to anchor CBS Evening News for 24 years.

Mr. Rather has been honored with numerous Peabody awards, Emmy awards, and honorary degrees from universities. 

His contract called for a limit on the number of photographs I could shoot, and I exceeded that ceiling because it was a fun project and I lost track. He never said a word.  Hopefully, you won't say a word to anyone either.

Porsche On Pointe



Deanna Doyle and Juan Pablo Trujillo, talented members of the Kansas City Ballet, performing at their very best.

The vehicle represented in the logo performs pretty well, too.  This will be used in an automotive trade journal.

The View From Above


It is always fun figuring out how I am going to make an exemplary, illustrative photograph for my client. This time it was with a 40-foot "cherry picker".

Celebrity Fitness on the Road


For those who need to exercise on a regular basis while traveling, here is an idea Larry the Cable Guy came up with. 

He rented a tractor/trailer outfitted with hundreds of pounds of weights and a treadmill, then hired a driver to follow him around the country on his performance tour.

Larry was exactly as he is on television and in the movies - funny, and very nice.

"From The Bottom" Debuts On PBS


Public Television Station KPTS added my movie, From The Bottom, to their programming schedule for the month of May.  

I am honored they hold the documentary in such high regard, however I am especially pleased because the profound story will enlighten and inspire viewers of all ages. Even close friends of Senator Gooch are unaware of the struggles he has endured and the obstacles he has overcome; they know mostly of his triumphs.

"From the Bottom" Available on Amazon.com


The documentary I produced and directed titled, From The Bottom, may now be purchased at Amazon.com.

On the left margin of this page under LINKS, please locate the link for Amazon.com where you will find a description of the movie and production photographs.

I was honored to have the movie screened opening night at the highly-acclaimed Myrtle Beach International Film Festival. There were so many questions for Senator Gooch following the screening, organizers had to extend the alloted time.

Wedding Photograph


I shoot just enough wedding stills each year that I both enjoy and look forward to them.

The light coming in the overhead windows and the light from my flash are daylight-balanced. The light behind the couple is tungsten-balanced, it falls on the warm-toned wood of the wall and complements her dress beautifully.

Bank Commercial


In addition to being a Stills Photographer, I shoot and light commercials and movies. Doing the videography and lighting for this bank commercial was fun because the client, the advertising agency, and talent were so wonderful.

Our union actress, she is a member of The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, was outstanding.

This is my lighting. See the highlights on the sofa seats? It would not be as pleasing without those small additions. I also did sound for the project.

I Love My Pregnant Clients



Capturing the feminine beauty of a woman in this wonderful time of her life is a most rewarding mission.

This lovely lady from the eastern portion of the Soviet Union surprised me with a treasured gift: a leather doctor's bag from the early 1900's. Yes, that puts it right about the time of the Russian Revolution, 1917.

One of My Favorite Models



This has always been one of my favorite People photographs. Her dress and hair were blowing in the stout wind, and I asked her to feel the wind and lean her body into it a bit.

She was perilously perched on a narrow ledge, high above the city.

The 2009 Kansas City Ballet Ball


Photographing this event is always a highlight for me. The ballroom of the Intercontinental Hotel on the Country Club Plaza was the location, and it was grandly decorated.

In this photograph is Ms. Lauren LaPointe, Ball Chairperson, and Mr. James Jordan, Ballet Master for the Kansas City Ballet.
