Pretty Things Peep Show

The Trunk Space, as the name suggests, is a tiny venue. What this place lacks in size it makes up for in character and usually presents some pretty interesting shows.

The Pretty Things Peep Show was part freak show, part strip tease, part magic act all rolled into one interesting evening.




Pool Party

The Lofts at Rio Salado apartment complex put on a number of pool parties over the summer. I shot a couple of them, but there wasn't much action because the water was probably about 90 degrees and people figured the less they did in the heat the better.
I like this photo because of the colors... It has nothing to do with the fact that there are three bikini-clad girls in the photo. I swear. No, really.

Tattoo Festival

This event took place in May this year.

Every year at the Mesa Convention Center this tattoo festival brings thousands of tattooers and their canvases together in one giant room.





Roller Derby

I shot this assignment in May at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum on the State Fair grounds in Phoenix.

Roller Derby is always an entertaining time. Who doesn't like to watch a pack of attractive tattooed women on roller skates beating eachother up?




Greek Festival

Shot in May of this year...

During the Greek Festival at Tempe Beach Park every year you'll see saganaki (flaming cheese), traditional dancing, and lamb on a spit.



NU at the Heard Museum

I shot this assignment in April of this year...

NU (Native + U) at the Heard Museum is an event that integrates live music, art, native american artifacts and history all into one culture-filled evening in downtown Phoenix.



Locks of Love

For those of you out there who still look at my blog, I apologize for the long lapse in posts... Many of my assignments are weeks in advance of when they go to print, so I have to wait to post them and I let them pile up far too long...

That being said, this assignment was shot in March of this year.

Locks of Love is a program that provides wigs to children experiencing hair loss due to a range of medical conditions and treatments. The wigs are fashioned from quality, donated human hair.

My style writer Jillian and I tagged along with Jenn Smith to Dolce Salon & Spa where they offer free haircuts to those willing to donate a minimum of 10 inches of braided hair to the cause.
