The Aliens

The Studio Theatre has opened their production of The Aliens by Annie Baker. the production was directed by Lila Neugebauer and stars Scot McKenzie as kj, Brian Miskell as evan and Peter O'Connor as jasper. the production will be running from now until december 23 in the space's milton theatre with tickets ranging in price from $39.00 to $58.00. 

the play takes place in a back alley behind a coffeehouse in vermont. two professional slackers, kj and jasper, spend their days there just hanging out while a new kid who just started working at the coffeehouse, evan, tries to get them to leave. in the end, kj and jasper take evan under their collective wing and makes for an unlikely friendship between the three men. it is a show about music and art; it even draws it's title from the poet charles bukowski, whom the two slackers quote throughout.

these are some of the photos i took as pre-press for the production. enjoy!

in other news, A Change Gon' Come is being remounted for harriet tubman's centennial kick-off performance at the unity church of gaithersburg on february 8, 2013. i will, of course, be reprising my role as the overseer. more details to follow! can't wait to be with my family again!

City of Brotherly Love

by now i am sure some of you have heard that i have re-located to the suburbs of philadelphia. that is correct, i have arrived in the city of brotherly love with the intentions of broadening my market and hopefully busting into the nyc scene a little more. it has been one hell of a stressful move, but i am very excited for future opportunities in this new chapter of my career and life in general.

i have not even had internet until yesterday, and writing on this thing is next to impossible on my iphone. i will try to keep everything up to speed for the next month as we enter into the new year, but i make no guarantees.

this are kind of old news at this point, but i wanted to post up some finalized headshots from that marathon of portraits i did a while back (two months ago–eeeeek!). so without further ado, here they are...

Wounded Warrior Project

so almost a couple of weeks ago, i had the pleasure of photographing a meet and greet kind of event for the Wounded Warrior Project. it was one of those experiences where you become really humbled and gracious because you realize that these soldiers who have lost limbs and been irreversibly wounded while serving and protecting our country are just as thankful to you for feeding them pigs in a blanket and lasagna. never mind the fact that the event was aboard a beautiful 70+ foot boat floating along the potomac river, the people aboard and everything they do was what made it a truly amazing night. west virginia senator Joe Manchin was in attendance, as well as boat owners George and Carolyn with 10 or more wounded soldiers and their wives, girlfriends, or other guests, and it was a great evening enjoyed by all.

here are some photos from that night...

Sea Star, the beautiful moving venue for the event.

i want to extend a special thanks to the men and women who serve our country and provide us with a safer place to live. we salute you.
