I’m super excited to have my first photo published in a national magazine, Amateur Wrestling News!  As some of you know, my experience / interest with photography and web design started back around 7 years ago when I started cover Stillwater High School wrestling.

This year, the annual Dream Team Classic was hosted in the Stillwater High gym and featured the USA All-Star team versus the Oklahoma All-Star team.  Long story short, it was a great match with a lot of excitement and ultimately, the Oklahoma boys pulled out the win 24-23.

I’ll have a full gallery of the match photos posted some time soon, but here’s the cover for the May 2009 edition of Amateur Wrestling News with one of my pictures from the 135 lb. match between David Taylor of Ohio and Casey Rowell of Oklahoma:

Mariel:

You truly have a knocked for sports photography. You have captured the rage and burning desire in their eyes.

Marshall Goldstein:

I shot for Penn State for 25 years91967-1995) and had many pix published in AWN. Was also Photographer of the Year in 1987 and 1994. Ran across your listing on Google. Keep up the good work!

Happy Mother’s Day



I wanted to give a special shout out to all the Mamas today! I want to give a special shout out to my wife and the mother to our two boys. Tara and I got married in January of 2006 and in February we found out that we were, well she was, pregnant with Witten, and since then she has been with our boys almost every day … loving them, caring for them, and keeping them clean and fed. Our boys are as well-rounded and awesome because you are there to love and care for them and balance out the roughness that I offer.  Thank you for all that you do! I love you sweetie!

A couple of weeks ago, I got the opportunity to meet up with Jonathon and Megan to grab some engagement photos in the Dallas – Ft. Worth.  Since Jonathon grew up in Irving, we decided to head that way and here are some of my favorites:

Yes, Jonathon had tickets to the “Gun Show” …

I love this one of Megan!  She was cracking up all afternoon.

These are two of my top pics from the session …

I think the picture below and on the left is awesome!  I love both of their looks and the nice back-light.

It was really good to catch up with Jonathon and Megan as we trekked through Irving and I’m looking forward to their June wedding back in my home town, Stillwater.

Foster Cryer:

@Megan – The “other picture” will be on the CD and will be in your inbox later tonight; I seriously need to make a shirt for you, but I have to still fine tune the look. @Charla – Maybe some day I’ll get the hang of this picture taking thing, right? Just kidding. Thanks for stopping by again.

Amber and Brian made it down to Tulsa this last weekend and luckily we had some great weather to snap a few engagement photos around Tulsa.  These two compliment each other so well, and it was awesome to see them walk around and joke with each other.  I felt bad though as I somehow found the roughest streets, alleys, and sidewalks to walk through, and poor Amber was following along like a trooper in her high heels.

I’m really looking forward to Brian & Amber’s wedding in July here in Tulsa.

I love the black & white photo below:

This is one of my favorites from the day …

Doesn’t this black & white photo make Amber’s eyes pop?!?!

Yeah, so I’m not sure what Brian was saying here … maybe he was trying to sign to Amber?

Thanks Brian & Amber for taking time out of your busy Easter weekend to go out and get a few pictures taken!
