Kickoff
Thursday, January 26th, 2012
This post has been a long time in the works. Not the mere writing of it, really, but the getting-in-place of the “necessaries” that all combine to make the post even possible. For quite a few years, I’ve had several clients (from my previous place of employment) come up to me and ask, “Grant, when [...]
Black Widow Custom Bows Catalog
Sunday, April 3rd, 2011
Last October and November, in the heart of the New York State deer hunting season, not only did I find myself pursuing whitetails with archery and muzzleloader gear, but also carving time from several of those days to create some fresh product photography for the Black Widow Custom Bows 2011 Product Catalog. Based in Nixa, [...]
Winter’s First Whispers
Tuesday, November 9th, 2010
I could see it coming from half a mile away. It wasn’t here just yet, but it would be soon. The air to the northwest was becoming more and more opaque. The wind had picked up and carried with it a deeper chill. There has, for years, been something very special to me about being [...]
North American Whitetail Cover!
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010
It was back in early November of 2009 that for me, at least, the groundwork for this project began to form. It was about that time that my friend, Garret Armstrong, of Elite Archery, shared with me pictures that he had just taken in the field of Chris Kiernan’s 2009 Illinois archery buck. I’m pretty [...]

My New Year holiday weekend was capped off with the completion of photography for Elite Archery’s 2010 Product Catalog. I’m really excited to get my hands on the final printed piece, because the PDF I saw online today looks just great! I’ve had a really fantastic time working with Garret Armstrong, the VP of Marketing [...]
Bowhunter Portrait: Dan Jones
Saturday, April 18th, 2009
When one of your buddies agrees to be picked up at 6am on a Saturday, and you’re not heading out to hunt or fish, you had better have something good in store! I had worked with Dan Jones on a shoot recently, when John Myers was doing some photography for Catalyst Direct. Dan is an [...]
Saturday Morning Session
Saturday, March 28th, 2009
I got together with my good friend, Matt Smythe this morning to do some photography of him in one of my deer hunting stands in Canandaigua. It was an absolutely stunning Spring morning! I picked him up at 7:00 and headed over the hill to the property I hunt during archery season. We saw countless [...]

From 6:30 pm until 1:00 am, people from all walks of the local advertising community came together once again to celebrate and honor excellence in advertising and [...]

Today marks the completion and launch of another project that I’m very proud of, and extremely excited about! With the help of some very good friends, a 16 page, Bowhunting-themed booklet has come off the printing presses of Canfield and Tack, and will begin circulation immediately. The booklet, titled “Seasons,” is a self-promotion piece that [...]
Website Launch!
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008
The completion and launch of my website is a very exciting event for me, and seems the perfect way to punctuate the end of a really fantastic year! I owe a great deal of thanks to Christine Walker, who concepted, designed and developed the site. I don’t know what I would do without her. She’s [...]
