Happy Halloween October 30, 2010 | Leave a comment I spent Saturday evening photographing trick or treaters in Oklahoma City’s historic Mesta Park neighborhood.  I also photographed Flaming Lips lead singer Wayne Coyne’s 500-pound brain at his Oklahoma City home. Read More

Outside the Civic Center October 26, 2010 Members of the Church of the IV Majesties, a satanic church based in Oklahoma City, held a satanic exorcism at the Civic Center Music Hall last Thursday night. I’ve photographed my share of protests and rallies around the state—some more emotionally charged than others—but with this one I wasn’t sure what... Read More

‘…in our hearts’ October 15, 2010 The sound of skateboards clicking on concrete was silenced when Duncan Boatner walked to the top of a short hill and began to speak. Over one hundred people, most in white t-shirts, gathered around and younger skaters watched through a chain link fence as Boatner tearfully remembered his best friend during a... Read More

His wrist and upper arm were broke.  All injuries from a 20-foot fall while installing Christmas lights at a local church. But, Collins spirits were... Read More

Pictures I Like-Back to September October 12, 2010 I looked through Merlin for some nice images we took in September. Here’s a couple that you may have missed, or that deserve a second look. I remembered the picture of Breanna Jay at the Oklahoma State Fair, because it ran perfectly in the newspaper. That is to say, it was big, in color, and uncropped. Of course,... Read More

I thought maybe I could get caught up with a single “Pictures I Like” blog post, but there are just too many good pictures and interesting stories. So,... Read More

Honoring Kody Turner October 04, 2010 The Chickasha players silently raised their helmets adorned with the No. 74 during the opening kickoff against Capitol Hill last week at Chickasha High School. It was the first home game for the Chicks since lineman Kody Turner died on Sept. 17. The crowd stood silently as they watched the ball sail through the... Read More

Deja Vu October 02, 2010 “Barry Sanders scores his third touchdown” is something I have not put in a photo caption for quite awhile, but I did last night. Not THE Barry Sanders from OSU and the NFL Hall of Famer, but his son, Barry Sanders, Jr., a running back at Heritage Hall. Heritage Hall played last night against NOAH, a school... Read More
