SF

Since I’ve spent the last week looking through old work I’ve found shots that I totally forgotten about, this one was a pleasant surprise since it has all my favorite colors. I took it walking back to the BART after shooting TVOTR at Treasure Island. I’m pretty sure I used a parking meter for stabilization.

The new Autolux record, “Transit Transit” is out, I’ve been waiting for this record for a loooooong time. Watching Carla Azaar last September was one of the best drum lessons I’ve ever had.

Perk up

Amazing how in a field of thousands of sunflowers only one was upright that night. It must have heard I was coming.

One crutch

I had the urge to shoot and the conditions were decent last night so I used one hand to grab a lawn chair and tripod and a crutch in the other. I heard dogs barking in the distance and it was the first time I’ve ever been shook by those sounds. Being defenseless in the middle of nowhere isn’t the best feeling in the world; creating this on the other hand…

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 to pop out but I heard dogs barking in the not so far distance. These were loud and angry dogs that didn’t seem too happy. I bolted out of there without breaking down my tripod.

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 he showed them to me with his flashlight. He said the owners asked the police to arrest anyone that trespasses, he also said there were security cameras everywhere…doesn’t it seem strange to place cameras in a place so dark you can’t see your nose? As he was pulling away he told me I could take shots on the next road down, that was a nice gesture of him considering he could have cuffed me and had my car towed. We used to pass this barn every time we go to Cedar Sinai-now I live close enough to walk to it.

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 set out to be a concert photographer and yet none of that work is in my portfolio. I would take a field over a photo pit any day.

Compass

I bought a compass last week in order to tell which way is North. Looks like I missed the bulls eye just by a little tonight. When you’re this good it doesn’t really matter does it?
