The inspiration for Portfolio Play Date v7 came to me the way all my best ideas do… while driving!

Portfolio Play Date v6 was inspired by the virtual photo shoot I sat for with famed photographer Jeremy Cowart earlier in quarantine.

When Portfolio Play Date v5 rolled around, I was fresh out of ideas.

Through a mixed media expression of poetry and photography, the idea was to take a single image that captures truth and pair it with a haiku to communicate the desired sentiment.

Each month I organize a collaborative session called Portfolio Play Date.

So proud of my number one mentern, Sarah “Big Brain” Babbage, on her graduation from Full Sail’s Media Communications Bachelor of Science program.

This month I asked my students to finish the statement “Wouldn’t it be cool if…”

Grief is a universal experience, yet we each feel it so uniquely. It comes in many forms, whenever it wants, often when we think we’re doing just fine.

Over the summer, while helping my buddy Mike facilitate a conceptual photography workshop our students, I felt compelled to follow my own inspiration for a shoot.
