The Smithtown Project is now available!
Big Brother is watching as Americans struggle to survive scathing oppression after sixteen years of ultra-conservative control in all three branches of government. Checks and balances are out the door; democracy is virtually nonexistent. Olivia Mooreland seeks change and joins an activist group striving to end the tyranny in November’s election. When the group’s black leaders are suddenly gunned down on a Columbus street, the driven teen devises the Smithtown Project, a blueprint for a greener, safer, more humane America. But the project is at a standstill until PI Ethan Pierce can discover why the small Ohio town is mired in corruption. What he uncovers turns the entire country on its ear.
Now available in paperback and ebook at the iBook Store, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.
I feel honored to have been a guest on “Behind The Podcast” with JD Podgorny to talk about Photography 101. View the episode here:
Built From Scratch: Adventures in X-ray Film Photography with an 11×14 View Camera is NOW AVAILABLE!

The host of Photography 101 chronicles how he created an 11×14 view camera from scratch and uses it to photograph black and white images with X-ray film. An illustrated account of the design and construction of his fully functional large format camera using only standard carpentry tools is presented in detail. What follows is the teacher’s quest to fine-tune his creation while taking studio portraits of his photo students over a three-year period. Throughout this process he shares critiques of his un-retouched darkroom photos, tips on X-ray film processing, creative lighting techniques and much more.
