Tutu Much Fun


I have been working with the Lakewood Dance Ballet Company taking photos of their Nutcracker production. This past Saturday I was able to spend some time taking portraits of the dancers. Their ballet instructor is really passionate about her work and helped me pose everyone.

Let's take a Moment

Let's all take a moment to reflect on the loss of a camera today at the brutal display sport known as the World Cup, seen in the graphic image displayed below. 

 

The Blog! It's Alive!

in

March and April really flew past me. I've been extremely fortunate so far in my photography. Today I wanted to share an illustrative still life piece I did for a magazine. The concept was to show E-commerce. The assistant editor and I discussed what would show it off, and we thought of a typical grocery bag but with computer elements in it. With Donna's help we were able to stabilize all the elements inside the bag and get it lit properly.  The extra space on the right is to fit copy. Check out the results for yourself. 

E-commerce BagCommedy Section of this Post because you gotta have fun. Bubo, my wonderful pet ferret, became curious. It's an animated .gif, so give it a sec to load. 

Redesign and refocus

January was an extremely short month for me. The blog got a bit of a face lift by adding some of the webby 2.0 stuff. I've added it just in time for web 3.0 with the launch of the iPad. My brief thoughts on it are that it will change the media industry over the next 2 years. New website/magazines catering to every niche will find their voice on it. Hopefully that will give me plenty of opportunities to provide photographs and illustration for the medium. I'm excited. 

I picked up a 35mm point and shoot off craigslist and ran a few rolls of film through it. I like it, its very freeing when you don't have to worry about camera settings and all the technicals. Just photograph what you find interesting and remember why you love making images in the first place.
