9.24.12 Published in SELF magazine!

You know those moments in films when some wanna be rock singer or football player gets a call out of the blue from some great band or team saying so and so saw you some place and they want to talk about joining or whatever and the guy is like, "Who is this really?" like it's a prank call or something. Well that's kind of how it was for me the day I received an email from a Conde Nast editor saying they wanted to buy a few images for an article they were doing in the up coming issue of SELF magazine. I was like, this must be a joke. No joke people! Early Friday morning as my wife and I made our way to catch a plane we stopped for a bottle of water and there on the shelf was the new issue of SELF. after a few frantic moments of thumbing through the issue there they were! Here is one of the images. Sorry for the poor quality, we shot this in a hurry before boarding.

So yeah, check it out! 

5.14.12 I'm photographing Hunter Pence's "Let's Go Eat" charity event!

I can't say enough about how excited I am to be the official photographer for Hunter Pence's "Let's Go Eat" Food & Fun Fest charity event May 31st at the Moshulu benefiting Philabundance, Make-A-Wish Philadelphia & Susquehanna Valley, and Phillies Charities Inc. All great causes and organizations to support! Tickets are still available at http://hunterpence.ticketleap.com/letsgoeat/


Hunter is from the town neighboring Ft. Worth where I grew up and I've been a fan of his since he was playing for the Corpus Christi Hooks in the Astros farm system when I saw him reach over the fence and rob a batter of a home run then, with his back still practically against the outfield fence, he gunned down a runner at home that had just tagged up on 3rd with a laser beam throw. It was a sight! Anyway, he's partnering with some fantastic organizations for a great cause and I'm just thrilled to be a part of it. 

7.18.11 Image for Bucks County Night Out

Bucks County Night Out is a great resource for discovering what's going on in Bucks on any given night. Occasionally the good people at BCNO ask me to stop by an event and take a few pictures of the patrons and the good times which can be seen at my website's BCNO gallery and the images below are a few from this weekend's Pig Roast at The Clubhouse in Newtown, PA. 

9.27.11 Pic Theme: Corporate events! Groupon sponsored after party for Taste of the Nation Philadelphia

Grrrrreat savings on Grrrrroupon!

What a great month June has been!

 I am of course still riding high from my own beautiful spring country wedding and getting a kick out of saying things like, "My wife" and "Mrs. Clarke" :) but also have had the great pleasure of photographing several "corporate style" headshots (including one sitting with a high ranking Philadelphia city council member that shall remain nameless for the time being) and some really fun company parties too!

One recent shin-dig was an after-party sponsored by GROUPON (who we all know and love) and held at The Farmer's Cabinet for all the vendors at the Philadelphia Taste of the Nation event.  These nationally held events raise money and awareness to fight childhood hunger, a terrific cause! Here are a few of my favorite images from the event. To see more you will be able to find them on groupon's flickr page at some point.
