An entire weekend of photography

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. [...]

A few movies for your consideration…

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 [...]

Last shoot with Ashleigh

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 [...]

Coming changes

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 [...]

50mm’s of fun!

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 [...]

A cool quote I found…

“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
(1954- )

I just thought it was  cool quote [...]

Photo Hunts

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 [...]

What I did this weekend…

This weekend I was invited to shoot with a friend of mine as a second shooter.  This gave me the opportunity to play with some new ideas without the pressure of really nailing my shots.  Of course you always want to strive to get the best shots you can but at the same time, it’s [...]

Lessons Learned - September 2008

Well September was a crazy month as I wrote earlier.  I’m glad that I was able to do the shoots and work with the models I got to work with.  Now it’s time to sit back and figure out what I learned so I can avoid making the same mistakes twice.
The month started out with [...]
