Hello World! Thanks for stopping by again for part 4! If you missed the previous post, catch up on it first. Today I want to share some more fruit of a 6 week project that was just completed and displayed last Friday May 30 for one night only. Genesis=Snakes, yep snakes, real snakes and brave models. The trick, well besides talking the models into letting us put snakes on them, was to figure out how to get the ball python to lay on the cameo opening. So, this cameo me had to make out of plywood and mount brackets around the opening to allow the snake something to cling to and hold the snakes w ..read more

Hello World! Thanks for stopping by again for part 3! If you missed the previous post, catch up on it first. Today I want to share some more fruit of a 6 week project that was just completed and displayed last Friday May 30 for one night only. To pull off the personification of these brews we had to get to know them. What are the ingredients, how does it pour, what is the color, how do you describe the taste, how is the nose and oh yea, can you walk after two of them, were the questions we set out to answer. We found the best way to accomplish this was to drink them all and as much as we could ..read more

Hello World! Thanks for stopping by again for part 2! If you missed the previous post, catch up on it first. Today I want to share some more fruit of a 6 week project that was just completed and displayed last Friday May 30 for one night only. Having a crack team was so important to this job. Each one knowing what the characters we had dreamed up would feel like not look like but feel like. Bringing in the insane talent of Master Hair Stylist Amy grooms was essential for the character development. She hand made custom wigs for some of the characters to bring them to life.  I had no idea w ..read more

Moonrise over thunderhead

Moonrise over thunderhead. This image was made the day before the newest blood moon eclipse. I was in eastern South Dakota, heading home from my Annual Badlands Workshop, with clear views and lucky enough to be in an area where they were burning fields. The smoke for the fire gave a color tint to the atmosphere. I kinda got a two-fer! I find it fascinating how just a few minutes can alter an image so significantly. The first one I made is ok. I was excited about it at the time , with the sun still hitting the thunderhead. But the second made just a 15-20 minutes later and few miles away with a ..read more

Who cares? < Who cares.

This phrase can be a question or a comment, derogatory or inquisitive. Tone and intention likely dictates the outcome. While deliberating whether or not to resurrect this blog and make a newsletter or even one of my photography workshops, sharing what I was up to in the world, tips, tricks and stories, this phrase kept popping in my head. Every time I would think of something to share I thought, “who cares.” I needed to set this pesky thought down and give it a good talking to. I started by making a list of folks that have said how much they enjoy my words and pictures. Then I looked through c ..read more

  Allow myself to introduce myself… This is a me. It’s a pretty good likeness of me most of the time. Minus the hair. That is actually white Buffalo hair! But that’s another story for another time. So who am I? I’m a man, I’m a father, I’m a lover and a fighter. I attempt to find new ways to do most everything, all the time. From my personal life to my professional life. It’s fun for me and at times, a bit maddening. I mean for real, how many more ways can a guy put on his pants… Speaking of my professional life, the one where I make money to support my family, I am classified ..read more

Solar Eclipse North Carolina 2017

The 2017 solar eclipse witnessed in North Carolina was one of the most amazing things i have ever seen. I have to be honest, I wasn’t all that excited about seeing a solar eclipse and had no idea what an experience it would be. I did a little research about it the night before and saw a few places on the map where I thought might be a good place to view this skeptical spectacle.  I threw some gear in a bag, fueled up with coffee and gas and headed down the road with a friend Cinnamon, for a 2 hr drive to the spot we had picked. Well, it was about 2 miles into the trip when we hit standsti ..read more

Here is another Asheville Photographer Project. Hello world, 2017 marks the seventh year of my passerby project. On my birthday which falls on June 4th I set up a portrait station and make images of random people walking by my studio with an 8 x 10 field camera using paper negatives. This year I made a custom lens that shoots in a circular format to conduct an experiment. Each year I have to make one more portrait to keep up with the number of years I have been breeding. This year I wanted to take a step past just making a photograph. I wanted people to show me their pain and their struggle in ..read more

hello world. Sorry its been so long since I posted anything. I have been hiding out for a while and doing the work.  Something has me excited though and I just feel like sharing this. To start with I want to confess, I want to be clear on my thoughts here and give a smidgen of back story… Hello, my name is Parker.  I am addicted to making imagery, chasing technology, embracing traditional photographic techniques, the smell of  my darkroom, pixel peeping to the highest degree, saying sharpness is over rated while in the same breath saying “my god thats beautifully ..read more
