| Weddings | Photo-Journalistic Wedding - Every wedding is a story. In recent years digital photography has made journalistic coverage affordable for nearly any wedding.

Katie Cowan - City in Motion at the GEM
"There Ain't No Grave"
Blue Wolf Gallery - July 2006
First Friday Opening - July 7, 2006
Just across from the Arts Incubator on the north side of the arts district near the corner of 18th and Baltimore (110 West 18th Street, Kansas City, Mo). These pictures were, for the most part, taken within a year of the exhibition date. Some of the pictures harken back a few years to the dance scene in the mid to late 90's in Kansas City. As with my other pictures, none were posed. These are taken in rehearsals, in performance and in clubs as they happened. On stage they depend on the existing lighting. Sometimes in clubs I bring in my own lighting but never to kill the mood of the club. In any case, no one is running through a movement repeatedly until I get the shot. I have to take what is offered.
