some street shots and sunsets

Wow what a hectic couple of weeks. Last week we had a snowstorm and some of my classes were cancelled. I have been real busy in the darkroom and have yet to scan any of the new images. I wish I could show you my new black and white images but that will take some time. for now bask in the colorful glow of these digital images.

The boardroom at Senergy. Hello Brooklyn.

The BQE from Myrtle Avenue and Washington

McKinney Falls

On a gray day in Austin over Christmas break my father and I took a walk through McKinney Falls State Park. I became interested in texture and found myself playing with depth of field and focus while frequently zooming in as close as possible. The reflections on the water are fun to photograph. you can choose to focus on the reflection on the surface or the creek bottom. The space of the area is hardly referenced.

long time comin

Greetings from Brooklyn. I have neglected this blog and I apologize. A new semester at Pratt is upon me and I am swamped with work. I would like to guarantee... I said guarantee that I will make at least two posts every week. whether they be photos, project updates, poetry or music updates, I promise I will give insight in to what is going on. for the moment enjoy this portrait of my sister early in the morning.

The night life

This will be the last post of the day but I have really wanted to get this work up for a number of reasons. These are photographs that mean a lot to me and I am extremely proud of them. They solidified my belief in myself as an artist. They are indicative of my style and the mood and aesthetics I try to achieve. They also constituted part of my portfolio for application to graduate school. All of these photos except for one were shot in Baltimore. Right now I am at an junction in my work where I am trying new things (shooting during the day on the street and portraiture) in order to learn and expand my understanding of what interests me. I will always be fascinated by the night and artificial light. I would like to think of this series as a study on ideas of isolation and solitude by myself as an attempt to cause the viewer to feel those emotions. In doing so hopefully the viewer learns something about their self and realizes that these are necessary feelings to experience in a world where we may feel like being alone is a bad thing.

Hummingbirds in New Mexico

Never before have I seen as many hummingbirds in one place as I did in New Mexico. It was truly astounding. They are beautiful creatures and very brave as you can see below. Cool birds man.
