incredible

Okay. This is what I want to do when I grow up. (Not the woman! Okay, well… the woman would be good, too. But I meant taking pictures like this.) Just amazing. I can’t imagine pulling a print of that. Photo by Camilla Douraghy.

anonymity

I wonder how easy it would be to find a photo of somebody? Assume you’re given collections of photos from a group of friends. Each collection is separate and unlabeled. And you know the names of the photographer for each set. How hard would it be to find a photo Continue Reading

new shoes

I have new shoes! First pair of sneakers I’ve bought in about 15 years. (The old ones were getting a bit worn, believe it or not). I like em.

shoot

Last weekend, I did my first solo photo shoot, with Shannon. She was a wonderful model. I had a great time. And the photos came out better than I ever expected. Click for highlights.

Shannon

Was digging through my photo archive last night to find a batch of images. Looking for some that either hadn’t been posted before, or variations on ones that got posted. I came across this one of Shannon from the 2006 photo shoot. I recently read some articles on nikola tamindzic Continue Reading

natural bokeh

I was looking at the shadows as I walked back from getting lunch today. I noticed the difference in shadows between the tree leaves verses unnatural structures, like signs and buildings and stuff. It eventually occurred to me, the shapes of the light through the tree leaves amounted to a Continue Reading

The right image.

There are images that should be captured. Moments that feel like they exist to show you something. Beyond just “I wish I had my camera”, they have everything coming together, and you can see it all slipping into place, and you know something’s going to happen. That’s about what I Continue Reading

Down with Xenu

Stupid little buggers. I went to take pictures at the Anonymous protest, yesterday. Anonymous — if you’re unaware — is a protest movement against the Church of Scientology. The movement’s organizers cloak themselves in anonymity to “protect” themselves from the Scientologist’s well-documented harassment of any critics. So the protests are Continue Reading

hard drive

to follow up… I ordered a hard drive today, for the photo back-up thing. I went with a 500 gig external firewire 400 drive. It also has USB 2, though I don’t intend on using it. When you’re dealing with long, large transfers of data, firewire easily outpaces USB 2, Continue Reading

Piggy Back

The picture’s a couple weeks old, but I still love it. It was a sort-of-miracle capture. I’m walking down the street, in the cold, while my friends are goofing around and walking at the same time. It’s dark, I don’t have a flash. Even shooting wide open on a 2.8 Continue Reading

Living in Sin

This was a pretty good weekend. I really didn’t get enough work done, but I did get to relax. After the stress of last week, and the likely stress of this coming week… After spending some time with Vail, Jessi, and the Boy down on the Mall, we all headed Continue Reading

big hard drive

I take a lot of photos. (duh). But they pile up on my computer for a month or so, and then get backed up to DVD. At which point, I don’t access them very much. Call it frustration with having to dig up the disk and look though it. Call Continue Reading
