Jazzin' with Rufus Reid


Yesterday I had the pleasure of hanging out with the amazing Jazz bassist Rufus Reid. If you've never heard of him, check out some of his music, you won't be disappointed. He gave a master class to some students at Hickman High School. He's a super-nice person and an incredibly talented musician. It was great fun hanging out and making pictures while listening to him teach.

Aikido


My brother-in-law had his first testing in his Aikido class this weekend. He did a fantastic job, especially since he is just beginning. Here are a few frames from the event. It's a surprisingly difficult thing to photograph, having never done it before. Hopefully I'll be able to go back for future events and work on it a little. At any rate, it was so much fun to watch him do his thing.

Smokey and Hog
Smokey


smokey and hog


Smokey and Hog are the dogs that live with my long-term subject Potter. When I first met them, they both tried to rip me out of my car and share pieces of my throat. After Potter said to them that I was OK, we became good friends. Hog got hit by a truck a few years back, so she can't walk around too well. Smokey chases mice all day around Potter's place. They'll definitely be a part of the story somehow.

This is Potter. He's been living in an abandoned chemical storage facility for 10 years, and calls it home. I've been visiting him for a few months now, and am working on a long-term story about his life alone in the Missouri woods. He has no running water or electricity. He collects rainwater around buildings that are slowly rotting from leftover chemicals.I'll try to periodically post some images from my takes. But for now, I'll just put up this one to officially introduce him
