My Bio
|
The seed of my love for photography was planted in the darkroom of my high school journalism class. It germinated in 2002 when I took a course in photography, and came to full bloom in 2004. My especial loves are minimalist photography and pictures of rural Nebraska.
Born in Norfolk, raised in Pierce, and graduated as salutatorian from Pierce High School. I attended Concordia University in Seward on scholarship as a National Merit Scholar, and went on to graduate in only two and a half years from the University of Nebraska College of Law in Lincoln, in the top 1/3 of my class.
As you can tell, I've never left Nebraska--at least not for much more than two weeks at a shot--and don't intend to.
I married in 2005 to another Nebraska lover, and on May 23, 2007, she gave birth to our son, Lincoln.

Things I Don't Mind The World Knowing

Spoiler alert: I'm thinking my next book will be about... |
|
rust. Minimalist photos of rusty objects, taken in junkyards around the area. I'm shooting for 100-120 pages (have about 76 at last count). Doesn't sound like a very broad subject area, but I think you'll be surprised at how various the results can be. |

This book is addictive. Read it. (At your own risk.) |
Dune, by Frank Herbert. Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, and God Emperor of Dune are also good, but don't bother with any of the others.
The Lord of the Rings is a lot of work, but is incredibly rewarding. It's a big commitment, so if that's too much, the movies do a great job of telling the essential parts of the story.
Also, check out The Dark Is Rising sequence by Susan Cooper. It's intended for a younger audience (older than the Chronicles of Narnia though) but is a great read for anyone. |
