New Toys

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

no. 11

Model: Cammy MUA / Hair: Nhi

Vintage

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 […]

Art in Progress: Misa

…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…

Miss Viet Georgia / VAC Lunar New Year 2011

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. 🙂

Cinématique

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

‘Tina & ‘Linda

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. 🙂

Instagram

Notes:  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 […]

PX 600 Silver Shade

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.

Ana

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 […]

Snow and Ice

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

Portfolio

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 […]

Ring Light

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 […]

Figure Drawing – 1-5-2011 – Atlanta Artists Center

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 […]

You Can’t Go Home Again pt. 2

I draw, I take photos, I write about things.  Most of the time it’s about silly and inconsequential stuff.  This is another part in a series where I go back to visit places where I’ve lived.  Even if for a short time, these places tend to resonate into our adult lives.  You can read the first part here.  Thanks […]

32°

Notes: It snowed in the ATL on Christmas, so of course I had to step outside. Thanks to KT for putting up with the bitter cold just so I could shoot and then write about it. If you guys have been following for the last several posts I’ve pretty much been trying to give a […]
