HEADSHOT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUSTON
I just added a new family member… the Variax JTV 59… I love Les Pauls, and this thing has a Les Paul body, and a shaped, cutaway neck that allows MUCH more access to the neck. It sounds great, the action is set perfectly, and I’m looking forward to putting it through it’s paces. I’ll post a full review with some audio samples soon… stay tuned… and listen for it on my next song!
I recently recorded an a acoustic version of the Tears for Fears classic MAD WORLD, made famous by Gary Jules and the film Donnie Darko. I put my own spin on it in an attempt to do something a little different. Thankfully, the Houston Press thought that it didn’t suck. It made their top 10 best covers. Thank you. Check out the full article feature some other great Houston musicians.

I recently went to Austin with writer Nate “Riverhorse” Nakadate to photograph legendary blues Telecaster master Redd Volkaert. Redd invited us into his home, served us cornbread and beans, and displayed his collection of guitars, including some 50’s era Telecasters, acquired in the most unique of ways.
Only in Texas can you step into someone kitchen and see a Grammy statue on the counter next to a plate of cornbread. It was a great trip to Austin, and an honor to meet Redd. Here’s a link to Freboard Journal – the full article is on newsstands now.
Still in production on a feature film… this is my first day off in 2 weeks. I appreciate your patience. A few more days of shooting and I’m back to my regular schedule.
Filming is going great, and we’ve covered an amazing amount of the script. John Lansch has put in an outstanding performance and was pictured wrapped last night.
Through the magic of FX makeup, John was aged 15 years for this production, undergoing 2 hours of daily makeup, plus camera test to make sure the makeup matched day to day. All in all it was a 3 hour process before he was camera ready. I’ll be posting some behind the scenes of the process soon! Big thanks to John for his participation in this film!
Check out this gothic fantasy horror short I directed during SplatterFest! This was shot and edited in 54 hours, filmed entirely on green screen.
