About Me

I'm 28 year olds and orginally from Ohio. I've been an artist most my life. This site allows me to showcase my talent and I take pride in making sure I keep it and my work as aesthetically pleasing as possible.
Aside from art, I've interest in politics writing and music--but when it comes down to it-- photography is one of my favorite topics and I could talk endlessly about it. In fact, I almost did. I participated in a small interview wherein I recounted my photographic history.

If you're interested in my views on the medium as well as a lil' background on me, you are more than welcome to have a read [PDF].
More behind the scenes footage. This time around it's Atlanta's own Gorilla Zoe. This particular shoot was for an editorial. This took place at the beginning of fall. And yes, we shot in the middle of a busy street. It was worth it. Zoe was a good sport for going along. You shouldn't attempt this though. I'm a professional.

The 4th Annual
Darnell Wilburn Scholarship

So everything went off without a hitch. The winners were Ryelle Dixon and Mikela Woolfork. Both of whom submitted excellent essays and won praise from their mentor [TA]. I'd like to congratulate them again on participating. Especially considering that they had to find time between completing their current course work and juggling other obligations. I'd like to say thank you to Tempest Alexander, who also submitted a stellar essay but just fell short and if I could, would have awarded her to. This acknowledgement isn't much but hopefully you'll continue to do good things. Still, no real complaints.
