Spring Break

A few images from Vancouver B.C.

Rock Jocks

Here's a photo from my shoot in Bozeman with the Rock Jocks from Baker, MT. Lots of fun. Marie did an awesome job as my assistant/human light stand!

Zack Arias: Transform

From conversations with a few of my photo-friends, I know that having questions about our place as a photographer can be a common struggle. There are a few of you out there who have it all figured out (wink), but for the rest of us, check out this video about one photographer's struggle. I hope this inspires and encourges you to always have a spirit of learning, receptive to criticism, yet still retaining your own personal ideas as a photographer. It's several minutes long. Stick with it. It's worth it!

Hmm...

Article on Consortium of the Creative Nudge

Just thought I'd share a write-up about my Daily Polaroid project that was posted on Consortium of the Creative Nudge, which is a pretty cool idea. Well worth checking out.

Adoption Portrait Project

I was able to photograph this family again over the weekend. I'm also trying out a trial version of a black and white converter plug-in that closely mimics particular b&w film types. What do you think of these three images? Kati (12, Russia) & Jenalyn (16, Philippines) share this bedroom. Which works best? Does the fact that Kati is out of focus in the middle image bother you? Do you like these b&w conversions? Thank you!

Spring Break

So here are a few images i have shot for a few kids up in Whitefish/ Kalispell

I just thought I'd let everyone know that I put a new gallery of images up on my website. It is a continuation of my Suburban Studies series from Lihue, HI. Critique/comments are welcome.

Advanced Color

Here's a few more, including Ivy letting me spread fake tanner all over her as well as the mother of all makeup cases! I just noticed the grey on the bottom right of the makeup box so I'll fit it later:)

Color Project

Here are some more images from my 360 project. Any input from you guys would be helpful thanks.

Jill Enfield - Wet Plate Collodion Process

Hey this is a time lapse video of Jill Enfield making a collodion image on the street, she's got her little processing and coating tent right there with her. It's pretty sweet check it out!

My 1st Gum Prints!

They both do not look anything like what they are supposed to and have obvious flaws but i am happy with the results.

I take one sugar in my tea.

Taking out Sigma's 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM.

Well it is sharp, has very little distortion though slight chromatic aberration occurs. i think i might be able to put up with that for being that wide without much distortion and its cheap.

Congrats to Camden!

Camden was just accepted to the University of Arizona!

Family

Here are some of the images for my senior project about family (not completely edited). Comments? The base of my project is that my family has not just been my blood relatives but my "chosen" family has been influential in my life as well.

Rocking R Bar Sign

Hey everyone, so interesting for me to find out, I took these images on Thursday night on February 5th and one month later on Thursday March 5th the R Bar was taken out in the Boodles Explosion. Thought they were interesting.

Hunter

Which do you prefer? This is for my Portraiture project, I have been playing around with motion blur and flash.
