Ashes

Well…I guess this is one way to end a series or body of work.  First off I would like to apologize to anyone affected or traumatized by fire, it just felt like good closure to get rid of the weight of these drawings by turning some of them into ashes. Please don’t think that I’m […]

Double Rainbow :)

Notes: …Double Rainbow…What does this mean?! 🙂  Heehee.  If there’s a huge thunderstorm that lets up right before sunset, it usually makes the sky especially pretty.  Luckily for me today, this family photoshoot didn’t get rained out, and the unexpected appearance of rainbows multiple times made for some good unplanned images.  Alas, like a certain […]

Pencil on Strathmore Paper

Location Scouting: Kent Rock Manor

Notes: Thanks to Kent Rock Manor for allowing me to photograph their lovely property.  Great place for everything from weddings to cinema.    

Location Scouting: Water Museum

Notes: Used the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center on many occasions, but always good to revisit with a different angle.  One of my goals is to record places for future reference, either for model shoots, or spots that might have cinematic or storytelling appeal.  Plus it gives me a chance to do purely composition based […]

Vidicon

Notes: Found this Ampex Vidicon 25mm f/1.4 on another treasure hunt.  The other 25mm I have focuses, but you can’t change the aperture.  This one, you can change the aperture, but the focusing seems to have been set to infinity by the factory.  A workaround is to “focus” by not threading it all the way […]

“Rosanna Roll” Avocado, Sriracha Sauce, Rice, Seaweed: ★★★★★ Tofu House: That fish cake tofu delicious thing: ★★★★★

Ana in 3D

Notes: To get the 3D effect you have to use a Pokescope, or probably any other stereoscopic viewer.  The Loreo lens is limited to f/11 or f/22, okay for outside shooting, but then I realized you can still shoot off camera speedlights with it.  Brilliant!  The plastic lens also creates lens flares that remind me […]

In Stereo

Notes:  I’m done with regular old still photos and moved on to the next level ;).  Playing around with the Loreo 3D Lens in a cap which is a stereoscopic image creator.  Combined with the Pokescope, it sure does look neat, with a convincing 3D effect.  This old world technology combined with the digital photography […]

Figure Drawing – 5-25-2011

Notes: Atlanta Artists Center, Charcoal on Newsprint, which I think will be my main medium from now on.  It’s simple and affordable, with a good texture.

Location Scouting: Railway Museum

Indian Food: Vegetables and Tamarind Sauce, Nan, and Curry: ★★★★☆ Notes: Second trip to the Southeastern Railway Museum.  They love photographers or visitors in general so highly recommended for anyone interested in colors, urban decay, and a trip through time.  Why modern day life isn’t as colorful I don’t know.  Great place for both Lookbook […]
