Photographed some interiors of the CAST Workspace Cooperative for the latest issue of BIZ 417. A very stylish and well designed space!

Sequiota Bike Shop for Feast
I had a good time photographing the Sequiota Bike Shop and their Bourbon Slush for Feast Magazine earlier in the summer. Sequiota has always been one of my favorite parts of town, so it's nice seeing great spots like this open up there. And it turns out Bourbon Slushes are amazing.
Public House Brewing Company beer garden
The Public House Brewing Company and St. James Winery have their beer and wine garden in full swing this year in St. James, Mo. It was technically open in the fall of last year, but this is the first really spring and summer it's been happening. What a place! A lot of businesses in Missouri seem to struggle with creating a nice, designed space with good food and drinks that is also fun and super relaxed. The folks at the Public House and St. James Winery have nailed it with this one.
Route 66 Barbershop
Grant Kendall in his Route 66 Barbershop on College Street in Springfield, Mo. I used to go up and down this street a lot when I was a kid to visit my grandmother, but never noticed this wee little shop until last summer. I was actually living at my grandma's house at the time and saw that this was a functioning business and had to check it out. I didn't get around to it until this spring, but Grant was super easy to photograph and generous with his time. Grant took the business over a few years ago from a fellow who had cut hair there for more than 50 years!
Springfield Engineering Company
Jeffrey Fielder and his brother Bryan operate Springfield Engineering Company and are the third generation to run the family business. They build custom duct work on site, as well as run a plumbing operation. I was able to photograph them for the latest issue of Biz 417 and really enjoyed it. Machinery and workshops are a blast to shoot.
Stinson Beach
I was back in California to photograph a wedding in Lagunitas recently and swung by Stinson Beach. I do miss seeing the ocean whenever I want.
Attorney headshots
I had the pleasure of photographing the attorneys at Collins & Jones on location at their office in Raymore, Mo. I was working with Novella Brandhouse in Kansas City, Mo. on the law office's new website and they did a great job on the site's design and message. We wanted a relaxed feel and studio look for the head shots and were able to make that happen in their conference room while working around their schedule.
Around town
Rally in the 100 Acre Wood
I learned about the Rally in the 100 Acre Wood while living in Rolla last year but wasn't able to see it. I made a special effort to check it out this year and was glad I did, since the race featured the return of Subaru Rally Team USA driver (and X Games star) Travis Pastrana. David Higgins, his Subaru teammate and a top rally driver, was also racing. There were also a large number of drivers from around the area and the world in a huge variety of cars.
It was my first rally race and I took some pictures on my own as a spectator on Friday, just to check the event out. Next year, I might try to snag a credential, work the racing stages more and try and shoot the famous jump at the cattle gate!
