I recently took two trips for ReMIND.org / The Bob Woodruff Foundation; one to San Antonio, Texas and another to New York City, New York.  My purpose was to document some of our service members who are now reintegrating their lives stateside. It was an incredible experience to spend time with everyone and maintain such meaningful conversation!  Thanks to everyone, especially those who served and continue to serve. This is this first series consisting of portraits, with more to come soon.  Click to experience!

The Natural Extension Concept (better known as The N.E.C.) are an Atlanta psychedelic rock band trading in classic song structures and freak-out guitars.  Photos by Jason Maris, retouching by Brad Kaye.  Click to experience.

Here are a few pictures I took of Kenneth Keener who played the ‘second deputy’ in the 1972 John Boorman film Deliverance.  Kenneth was not only a huge help in tracking down the elusive Billy Redden (the unforgettable Lonnie aka ‘banjo boy’) but also a fantastic storyteller and all around great guy!  Click to experience!

Here’s the set that I did of blues rock / jamathon journeymen Widespread Panic for Eric Capossela (who also created the stained glass-eque font) and Atlanta Magazine.  Retouching by Bradley Kaye.  Real nice, down to Earth dudes. On the newsstands now!

This is Lear Bunda.  He works as a show editor for Adult Swim’s backwoods-y, moonshine death trip sensation Squidbillies.  He makes short films and skits in the same manner that some would to a crossword puzzle – to relax.  The guy exudes positivity and I’m excited to be the DP on his upcoming debut feature film, The Space Coast.  It’s a movie about a loner high school kid who wants desperately to be an astronaut, among other things.  That’s all I can say for now!  To get in on the action, drop by the Space Coast project page at Indie Go-Go!  Support Independent Filmmaking!

I would like to give a really big thanks to Scott Nelson of Nelson Creative for thinking of me when he was given the opportunity to spotlight a photographer for the upcoming Oz Magazine “Industry Recommended Photographers” exposé.  You are the man, Scott!  Click to experience.
