I love to make portraits, a photograph that tells a story about someone’s life, passions, or experience, a one frame biography?
These two portraits, both commissioned by Purdue University, tell different stories and did different jobs.
One to document a distinguished career, the other shows the passion and joy for a program. Both satisfied customers.

While photographing for the American Indiana College fund, I took some time to document the Wild Rice Harvest on Cass Lake in Minnesota. People of the Ojibwe Nation harvest rice from canoes during the month of September.

An old roommate from BGSU stopped by on his way to Chicago with his son. It was a neat opportunity to visit and make this portrait.
Creating unexpected, innovative, and exciting visuals is what makes me tick. These are some of my favorites going back a few years. The black and whites were done the old chemical ways.
This was my “lead off” assignment for 2012. Dr. R. Graham Cooks, researcher at Purdue University.
I am privileged and really enjoy the photographing researchers. Jim Fleet, Ph.D. Dept. of Nutrition Science, Purdue University and Cancer Researcher. Purdue Cancer Center Report
