Did you know you can search Google by dragging and dropping an image from your computer? Google will scour the internet and show you everywhere that image appears. Yup, it’s true…While is isn’t breaking news by any means, I did a Google Image search for one of my images just to see if it appeared anywhere on the internet is wasn’t supposed to…Hit the link to see the results…

Lighting On The Down Low

Posted on February 20, 2012 | Leave a comment

I have been stuck in this rut…well I hate to call it a rut, maybe a phase is better…this phase where most everything I shoot in a studio (and really on location too) is high-key. I like the look I get when shooting high-key; bright, clean and sharp. It has become easy for me to get into the studio and throw together a basic high-key set up and go from there, little thought required. My goal over the past week or so has been to break this cycle and get into a darker place, to begin shooting lots of low-key images. With a lighting concept in mind and a few willing volunteers, I set about on this mission. How deep will the rabbit hole go you may be asking? Well hit the link to dive in…

Panning For Gold…Photo 181 Motion Demo Followup

Posted on February 9, 2012 | Leave a comment

Last night I posted about a demo on photographing motion in my Photo 181 class. I told my students that it might be good to shoot every bicyclist on the ped-way in front of the Student Union. Then I realized this was actually a good idea and decided to try it myself. Hit the link to see some panning practice…

Photo 181 Motion Demo

Posted on February 9, 2012 | 1 Comment

Today in my class we did a demonstration on how to capture motion in photography. I had the students brain-storm the ways to show/shoot motion…Motion Blur, Freeze Action, Panning/Trucking, Zooming, Light-Painting etc. Then we went to the studio and shot some students riding skateboards around the room…

I like to keep you, my loyal friends and followers, updated on at least a weekly basis as to what is going on here. Sometimes my posts have a theme sometimes it is just a compilation of images, either way I like to share what I have been up to lately. Even if it isn’t portfolio work (and a lot isn’t) I shoot constantly, click the link to see some film recently developed and scanned…

Electric Kingdom::February 2012

Posted on February 4, 2012 | Leave a comment

Be sure to check out my photos from Electric Kingdom this month. For those who don’t know, Electric Kingdom is the premiere, monthly electronic dance party in Northern Arizona. DJ’s, live art, ambient light performance, photos and lots of fun. I have been working with EK for the past 7 or 8 months, always a blast.

I usually shoot the roaming photos, another photographer does the live photo booth. Be sure to check those out too.

Check out the EK Facebook page and my album here.

If you have been reading my blog over the past week or two, you may remember a post about saving part of a studio session from a prematurely unplugged computer. If not check it out here…

Now on to current news. Don’t worry, I didn’t unplug anything this time, everything went according to plan, except for the amount of talent that was supposed to pass through my studio on that particular day…

A Studio Session Saved(ish)…

Posted on January 23, 2012 | 1 Comment

Sunday I found myself in the studio with my colleagues Matt Beaty and Andrew Paffrath from thevisualCollective. We had a few friends stop by to have their likeness captured in a photograph and we had a generally pleasant afternoon. That is until we were wrapping the set and I unplugged the computer mid-file transfer and lost everything…

Land Of The Lost Roll Pt. 2 – Return to FujiChrome Island…

Posted on January 12, 2012 | Leave a comment

Once again I have found a roll (or in this case two) that have until now escaped my careful eye for some reason or another. If you study your history you will undoubtably remember a post on this blog a few months ago of a similar title detailing the discovery of a roll of exposed film in the deepest bowels of my refrigerator. If not, then please follow this link to catch up…

Now hit the link below to see what was unearthed in this, the latest discovery in an ever expanding archive…
