Description of each image is located under the photograph.

Boys and their cars. Random photo of my husband showing off the turbo motor to his Subaru WRX STI.

My cousin Phillip and his youngest child.


The Samurai Chef at work. Fire is beautiful.

My friend and former co-worker Jason. First image is with Valerie at Paddy 'O Quiggly's in downtown Kansas City, MO. Second is with 9 months pregnant Kristie at my day job.


This is Jamie, who goes by the stage name Spektacle. She is a rapper located in the Kansas City, MO area. These were taken in my painting studio.


Melena and Jamie (Spektacle) have collaborated on several songs together and commissioned me to take several photographs of them for their MySpace page. The session was done in my painting studio.

These last six photographs are from the war protest in September of 2005. Not my best work, but I was using a disposable camera I purchased from a street vendor since my own camera hit the dust. Pic on the left is the Washington monument, picture on the right is a random girl in the crowd whom I just had to photograph. She was happy to oblige.

Another picture of the Washington monument as more protestors gathered at the Mall. Picture on the right is two teenagers I found in the crowd near the stage that just needed to be photographed.

What photographer can resist a man, his guitar, and his lovely wife? I'm so glad they agreed to let me take their picture. Sadly, his shirt is now outdated by 1000+ more lives. Picture on the right are a bunch of men who stood out in the crowd next to a flag draped coffin. I wanted to immortalize them for their message.
