It’s been forever and a half… It’s been an incredibly difficult journey in the last 3 months or so… Let’s see if I can’t return to consistent blog posting.

Here’s one from last summer. Doesn’t she look a lot like Britney Spears in some of those shots?

For those of you who missed the post from the other day, here’s a reminder.

Day 85/365

Day 86/365

As the title implies, I worked with Dani again. We’d actually planned the shoot for that day (the 7th) weeks ahead of time, while the one from a few days back (the 4th) was last minute. That’s my excuse at least.

I tried doing some natural light stuff and it really didn’t work out… Like, at all… It’s making me want to get to the point where I can do it well, so I’ll probably try again in the future.

And then I turned my lights back on… Ahhhhh… The control…

Day 87/365

I honestly didn’t think Quincy was gonna show up! Communication had been touch and go, but I was glad when I heard a knock on my door.

Also from that day, I took this shot of my cologne… Why? Because I was in my bathroom getting ready, I look down to my cologne and then realize… I have the most pretentious, arrogant cologne on the planet!

I promise, I really just bought it because I liked how it smelled!

Day 88/365

I’ve never bought a Seventeen Magazine in my life. That day, I did. And that’s because I’ve been published in it! Woohoo!!

Look for this photo in Seventeen’s May issue, which I shot in the summer of last year:

Day 37/365

I am now just past 10% into the 365 days!

Bokeh, for those who don’t know, is basically a term that refers to shots that have that shallow depth of field I talked about in an earlier post. Go check out the Wikipedia page if you want to learn more.

Day 3/365

I remember a long time ago, seeing a picture from a photographer whose work I greatly admired where he’d just taken a shot of the grass. It was a moodier black and white, but I like mine too.

It’s amazing how much more of the world around you, even something as mundane and commonplace as grass, can take a life all its own when seen through the lens of a camera.
