Tri Shots

Hometown like i've never seen.

2010-04-22T14:53:00.001-07:00

My father recently took me and my mother to a huge graveyard tucked into downtown Memphis. I had never seen the place, nor had ever passed by it, heard of it or seen pictures of it. But as soon as i entered, i was in love. Yeah, i know it's a little weird to enjoy being in a graveyard, but there is something so beautiful, silent and peaceful about it. I know i'm not the only one that thinks that. Here are a few shots of our visit and a couple from Beale, this first one is my favorite. A husband and wife, laid to rest together for eternity in love, under pillars of marble.

Can someone please "unattend" me?

do it to it.

I think this is the first time i've ever caught a whale jumping on camera. granted, i had my 28/200 lense at full zoom and then cropped the images to a tiny photo and stuck them all together so you could get the full effect, so they are pretty awful images but it was such a great experience i had to put them up. it was wonderful.
Our annual shrimp bowl.... it was amazing. we ate until we hurt. fresh shrimp. amazing.
Going on an adventure through the city today and saw some printed bills on the street... i do believe that would be illegal.... but you know, just a guess. :-)

So this last image is of Le Fort, condos and ultimate dining experience. When i was 18, i lived there for a month and the chef that owns the complex, had a dinner where the owner of Double Bubble attended. So yeah, i had dinner with the owner of Double Bubble.... i straight up had dinner with gum royalty. :-) i'll forever ask myself why i didn't maximize on that opportunity.

and the fire sets.

tonight's sunset was beautiful. i took the two shots in this diptych as they are, i didn't edit them or anything, the colors are as i shot them, the one on the right was about an hour before the sun set. i just love this one. the sunset was just on fire tonight.

The Sun and Moon.

2010-02-28T18:50:00.000-08:00

Tonight's sunset was beautiful and last nights full moon was spectacular, here are a few shots from what I saw. I must admit that I'm a little proud of the shots i got of the full moon, maybe the sharpest i've gotten and without a tripod at about 3 o'clock in the morning (too much coffee), still i'll try and get better as i learn more.

I tried to write my name with the moon. Long exposure fun.

A litle CNN, Cappuccino and a tsunami.

2010-02-27T20:25:00.000-08:00

This morning my Dad came running home from a massage a little frantic saying that the people at the spa were panicking shutting down and fleeing to the mountains. In their broken english they were saying "tsunami, go go, run tsunami coming in 20 minutes". They canceled his massage, mid-way through, shut the spa down and ran, Dad came here to the hotel not knowing whether to fallow the locals up the mountain or just head to higher ground here. The police were clearing the streets and we kept watching CNN to make sure we knew what was going on. This is a picture of mom and dad watching the coast, it got scary but in the end nothing happened.

back after six years.

I'm happy to be in a place of great rest, Bucerias, Nayarit, Mexico. I haven't been here since I was a senior in high school and it feels good to come back and be able to relax. It seems to be unreal all that has taken place in those six years, both in this town and in my life. As I'm reaquanting myself with the town i've barely been able to keep my eye away from my camera, here is just a sample of the already hundreds of photos I've taken so far.

Late Night Lights

2010-02-19T18:05:00.001-08:00

I couldn't sleep until sunrise, so I started playing with lighting. Not much to show out of it, but i had fun.

Dear December Love.

2008-11-04T16:22:00.001-08:00

This is the last image of a series i just finished entitled "Why are you here?" Me and a friend of mine ended up with roughly 60 images of different answers, i thought i would just leave my own answer. here ya go.

Here is an image of my best friend at her wedding shower... she decided to "find the light" and do a few poses for me... this is by far my favorite.

How can you not love this adorable face of my dog?

Imitation

2008-11-04T16:16:00.000-08:00

I recently got interested in a photographers work from New York, her name is Katie Kingma and i love the mystical aspect of her work, it's beautiful. So in class we did imitation work of photographers we like, this is my piece. And check out Katie at katiekingma.com

Sound

2008-10-30T16:46:00.000-07:00

This is my most recent work. It was an assignment for my art photography class. The assignment was to shoot "sound", not exactly the easiest of assignments, but i took it in stride and chose to photograph three images that were seen as silent subjects, but when read can be louder than our own thoughts in our mind. I chose three different forms of writing communication, the worlds first form in hieroglyphics, the most lyrically beautiful, i wrote a love letter in Italian and then something i'm completely unfamiliar with, Braille. What do you think?
