Digging…
Digging, it refers to DJ’s and Turntablists going through crates of records, looking for samples and other inspiration to create their music / artform. I guess that’s why I’ve been on my vintage theme. When people want to get into photography, they always ask me what camera to get. It’s a bit more complicated than that… […]

Notes: Found these gems while browsing antique stores. Granted, none of them work, but they sure look cool as props/accessories/camera bling. 🙂

Notes: In drawing class, if the model can’t make it, students are usually given an assignment to just draw each other. Same thing in photography. But that’s not really what our fake modeling is all about. 🙂 I’m grateful to anyone who has ever given me or loaned some camera gear that’s sitting in their closet. To some […]

…I guess I’m back…forgot how much I missed it, just sitting on the floor listening to music and drawing, not really thinking of the image itself, just everything that surrounds it…

Extra Pix! Notes: I draw. I take photos. I don’t speak Vietnamese. 😉 These are the silly photos I usually end up liking. …Team Blanco, white is for winnahs! Apparently everyone got the inception to wear white in the dream state. Hey, those photos look familiar. 🙂

Notes: “Team Neekon” for when we take photos…and “Team Jobless” for when we battle in Fat Princess!! 🙂

Notes: First pretty day in Atlanta in a long time so took advantage of it. Almost everything in the bag used, ’cause well, I get bored. 🙂
Continue readingNotes: Camera companies should realize that the megapixel race and feature creep isn’t what some of us really want for all devices. We want the ability to mimic what was, and still are, some expensive captures of random moments in life. And we also want it for free! That’s where the Instagram application comes in. The […]

Notes: Trying out some PX 600 Polaroid film from the Impossible Project. $25 for 8 shots. Yes, 8. Maybe I’ll just do one a week.

Notes: All the snow in the Southeast is a bother, but it sure does look good in photos. The Sun as the best and only light, and the icy landscape as a big reflector. I keep on forgetting to use the Lumiquest Softbox III. It’s small and easily fits into my bag. Combined with the sunlight, the results […]

Notes: Some of these photos are actually from the last time it snowed, a bit more picturesque a few weeks ago.

The slight changes to the site are to better accommodate the iPad (and most of my gadgets) as a presentation device for my artwork and photo portfolio. The always free and awesome WordPress and various plugins will have to do until I figure out some code for swipe based navigation. Apple’s lack of Flash support is one of […]

Model: Frannie MUA / Hair: Nhi Lighting Assistance and Props: BRC and PT I draw, I take photos, I write about it. Thanks to the team for all the help. Thanks to BRC for letting me take his ABR800 ring light out for a test drive. It definitely produces some blinding light. Even shooting through its “portal” has […]

Notes: Some quick drawings from tonight. I actually prefer drawing from male models. Reason there hasn’t been hardly any postings featuring them is because every single session I’ve been to has had female models. Harsh lighting on the male physique works better. Even if the form isn’t as physically fit as an athlete, you will usually […]
