Perk up
Amazing how in a field of thousands of sunflowers only one was upright that night. It must have heard I was coming.
Stock
I recently consolidated alot of my work taking it offline. Some of that work is very precious to me as well as being some of my favorite work, it would be a shame for them to sit on my hard drives. I created a stock gallery with separate (much lower) price points, I will be [...]
Mojo
Today is the first day I worked on some photos, you should click on this photo for the real thing. I’m ready to start recording, creating something from nothing is what wakes me in the morning.
In with the old and out with the new
When I get back on my feet I’ll be shooting film. Digital isn’t a challenge anymore since I already know what its going to look like. I guess for some people this could be a good thing but it takes the element of surprise out of it for me.
15
When I was a freshman in high school I had the not so brilliant idea to join the football team. I trained every MWF during the summer by running laps,hills and lifting weights. By the end of the summer I had grown six inches and gained a considerable amount of muscle to reach 5″2 and [...]
Iowa is down the street
I shot the sunrise today in this corn field. Ann grew up in Iowa and even she says this area reminds her of Iowa, endless rows of corn for miles. True bliss in every way possible. I went back tonight and this was the first shot I took, I hung around waiting for the moon [...]
Conversation Killed
This barn is down the street from our house but I never took shots of it until last night. I was there for about 25 minutes until a cop pulled up and asked what I was doing. I played dumb and told him I didn’t see all the trespassing signs that were extremely visible once [...]
DC Aquatic Garden
Somehow DC managed to fit Shangri-La in the middle of Kenilworth…70 acres of ponds! After I finished walking around I sat in the shade to make a phone call. There were two classes of little kids eating lunch and a couple of them stirred up the courage to walk up to the suspicious guy with [...]
The Colour and the Shape
Other than being the title of one of the most important albums of my life, they are what draw me to these shots. The subject is irrelevant to me, its more about the texture, color and the emotion that these pictures bring. I’ve been messing around different arrangements of these shots as triptychs. I sometimes [...]
The Beaten Path
Sometimes on the way back to my car I stray from the path in Seneca Park. Now that the grass is chest high, it leaves me totally soaked all the way up to my hips. Instead of trying to find the quickest way back to the entrance I stopped and tried to make something of [...]
SCAD
I met with an admissions rep from SCAD today so most of my time has been spent hastily putting together an essay and portfolio. There’s no way to say this without being cocky, but choosing what to present from my body of work is alot harder than creating it. Funny how two years ago I [...]
Perfect
I spent the whole weekend with Declan and didn’t take a single picture of him. I realized if we’re hanging out, I’m burping him and making him laugh; that trumps any moment I can capture by shoving a lens in his face.
It only takes one
I took 12 consecutive 5 minute exposures pointing the opposite way from this frame. If you’re standing in the middle of nowhere you have a lot of time to compose a shot; if you pick a clear night there are rarely any variables . I walked in circles for an hour while sizing up this [...]
Cherry Blossoms
I wouldn’t dare check out the blossoms during the day, going through the crowd is like going to the mall during X-mas. I’ve come to the conclusion that 1:00am is my favorite hour of the day….or night.
Route 1
I took this shot about two years ago right before my hip replacement. I was driving down to SB to visit Andrew, good times. I took this shot on a $1 roll of expired film with an SLR that my brother gave me 3 years ago, when I started taking an interest in photography. I’m [...]
Berryville Pond
I used to ride my bike here when I was younger. I’m beginning to see a parallel between my creativity in music and photography. I usually have to hack away on guitar or drums for a while (15-60min) and something usually comes of it song wise. Today I took a bunch of mediocre shots on [...]
