I was recently asked to do the iPhoneography for one of the SF MoMA’s thursday night events, Now Playing. It was rad.
feel free to contact me for my iphoneography rates—i specialize in architecture, light and motion.

three of my pieces were shown in the Vegas From the Hip exhibit at Nevada State College, 4/29/11 - 5/31/2011.
these three pieces then hung in the Barrick Museum.
i also have a blog full of random findings, personal artwork and inspiration called
Just The Gritty. Or if you prefer, it’s on facebook.
