Over the past few weeks I’ve been taking some photos on my iPhone. The resolution isn’t that good… well not as good as my Nikon D80… but what the iPhone camera has that my Nikon doesn’t is a whole slew of apps that make taking pictures with it kinda fun!
My favorite photo app is Toy [...]
Over the past few days I’ve been mentally preparing myself to teach a friend of mine to take better photos. As a result I’ve been thinking a lot about how I learned to shoot and some thoughts that go way beyond just the mechanical aspects of setting an exposure, framing a shot, and pushing the [...]
A few days before my shoot with Natalie I picked up my Diana camera again. I haven’t shot with it for a long time. Mainly because of the chemicals but I do love the surprise of opening the developing tank and seeing what I got. So I’m thinking about shooting more on film and maybe [...]
Well, it looks like this weekend is going to be all about photography… for the most part. This week a new shipment of ISO 400 film came in so I need to do some test shooting with the 400 speed film in order to know how to expose it best with my Diana camera. [...]
The other night I got a little red envelope in the mail. The kind of “red” envelope that contains a “dvd” I don’t wanna mention any names or anything(since they’re not paying me for the ad!) but it starts with an “N” and ends in a “etflix”!
Anyway I’ve been on a photography kick in a [...]
In April I had the chance to shoot with Ashleigh one last time before she moved back to her home 5000 miles away from Hawaii. I would say that I am fortunate to have met her, to have known her, and to have captured in photographs. She has been a influence on my [...]
Over the past few months, I’ve started to notice a shift. I don’t see it as a shift in how I make image or even I how I think about making images. Its more of a shift in how I see myself as a photographer. This shift came about because of several events that have [...]
During my last shoot, I took a few shots at the beginning of the shoot with my new 50mm lens but then switched back to my standard 18mm-135mm lens for the rest of it. I wanted to test out the lens and see how it captured nudes. What I didn’t want was to spend an [...]
“If photography is truly an art, then what it expresses is human emotion. Not what the world looks like. … It’s not about what’s in front of you, it’s about what’s inside of you. … Expression, that’s what its all about. Artistic expression, not objective duplication. “
Brooks Jensen

I just thought it was cool quote [...]
I’m thinking about putting together a group of people to go out on photo hunts. The idea is that we would pick a cool place where we would all meet. And then we’d walk around together taking pictures, talking pictures, and comparing what we’re seeing. It could be a hike in the woods or maybe [...]
