When you are taking a photograph, do you take it in that moment and envision it exactly as-is, or do you shoot with a particular retouching style/vision in mind?

I try not to think of post production at all when I am shooting. I don't really do much to photos in post anyway. It's all about the moment. <-- what a cheesy answer...

What's it like being chummy with internet sensation Leah Muse and occasionally getting mentioned on her blog? I imagine it's like being one of Truman Capote's society friends.

Leah is very much like Capote actually. She is always the life of the party.

Valentine

My Valentine is my wife, but that will never keep me from trying, trying to make her smile, trying to make her laugh, trying to surprise her. I thank God for her.

Below are the first few lines of how I proposed to her. I wrote this using a simple flashlight and a 30 second exposure in the garage. This is what I was "building" for her.

What's your favorite food?

French. I <3 butter!

What is the best meal you've ever eaten? (That someone else made!)

The last time I went to Vespaio I had a special that included homemade pork sausage with goat cheese, steak and baguette kabobs, a great version of Potatoes Anna, roasted duck breast with cranberry sauce and a "Tower of Goodness" - which is bone marrow. Scooping the marrow out of the shank is the best part. I tried this for the first time in culinary school and it changed my life.

What do you hope for?

I hope for inspiration... and this happens every single day. I have an amazing wife and 2 very entertaining children. My life has never been simple, but when i'm home, it is simple but rich.
