The Vagabond Bond is made up of 11 artists: musicians, writers, and photographers. 

I feel humbled to be a part this circle of like-minded artists. They're all explorers, thrill seekers and enjoyers of this life. Take some time and peek into the lives of those involved, you won't regret it. I promise.

Do yourself a favor and buy this $27 dollar plastic camera and have some fun.

I'm only half joking about this blog post title. 

The other day Aaron Snow and I were doing a shoot for our new intern, Katelyn. On the way to one of our locations we ran into my brother, Thomas, who was on his way to his new job. He recently got hired with EMSA, our local ambulance company here in Oklahoma City. Since we had our cameras with us I snagged a few shots of him before he started his shift.

Thomas, Cara and I all lived together last year for a while. Throughout that time I watched my brother take severe interest in working for EMSA. I've never seen him work so hard for something in his life. He dominated. He's now driving an ambulance around Oklahoma City four nights a week and I couldn't be more proud of him! Mom, if you're reading this, playing Cruisin USA all night on the Nintendo 64 growing up paid off! It's actually saving lives :) If only I had that argument formulated then.   

My brother inspires me. If you don't know him you should!

The last two images are some of my favorites. They're of Thomas and I doing what we love and what we've dreamed of doing for so long. We couldn't be happier. 

You should check out his website here and follow what he's been up to! Here's a few of my favorites from our session. Enjoy!

This blog post is a long time coming! Aaron Snow and I moved into this studio space in May of 2009 right before the heat of the wedding season began. Our studio is located at the bottom of one of the Brownstones at Maywood Park, just north of Bricktown in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We both run our individual businesses in this shared space that we call Brownstone Studios. 

This has been one of the coolest experiences of my life. Cara and I started Carl Zoch Photography in 2008 and have enjoyed the ride ever since. The people we've met, places we've been and the stories we've become a part of have become invaluable to us. We're super thankful for how everything has played out so far and we're absolutely humbled, excited and stoked for the future! There are so many people to thank for believing in us. These people include but aren't limited to our family, friends and clients. All of you have played a significant role in shaping Carl Zoch Photography. You know who you are! Seriously, thank you! 

We have another year packed full of awesome ahead of us! We'll be documenting many people's stories, both locally and nationally and we CAN'T WAIT! 

Enjoy life.

I've been more and more convinced that art is something that needs to be expressed, shared and experienced. With that being said, I hope you enjoy these random scenes from my life.

Never stop doing what you love. Enjoy life.

Cara and I were in LA last week working on a few different photo assignments and a personal photo project that I've recently started. We're coming out of our winter hibernation so this trip was refreshing for so many different reasons. We shot nearly every day, hung out with some of our favorite people and saw parts of highway 101 flooded. I have to say that this was one of my favorite trips, hands down.
