Sunday Morning Coming Down

2011-11-07T21:47:00.000-08:00

The rain had been coming down all Sunday morning and it looked liked our planned photo shoot would have to be postponed. But as soon as the rain broke, Andrea HeyTelled to say she was in if I was in.

"Let's do it."

This is one of my favorites from that Sunday morning.

This is a simple photo but one that I am quite proud of because of the technique required to make it.

There a two large, black backdrops just out of frame on either side of the decanter. They outline the edges and without them, the glass would be virtually see through. I also hung several sheets of white paper from the light to make a slight fade on the background.

Ride & Shoot

2008-03-11T23:51:00.000-07:00

I love living in Marina del Rey. My wife and I love riding around our neighborhood on our bikes. Some of my favorite photos come from these bike rides. Our neighbors actually have one of my bike ride photos framed in their living room.

This isn't necessarily one of my favorites, but it is one of my most recent. And it does, at least to me, tell the story of our bike ride to Playa del Rey.

So basically, as we're riding, I put the wrist strip on and drop the camera down by my side and snap away. I get a bunch of bad photos this way, but I often end up with some good ones.

This is Angie and Chevas on our way around the marina to meet Lisa at The Shack. Reminds me why I love living here.

Shaved It Off

2008-03-08T08:23:00.000-08:00

I've been talking about doing this for a while. Yesterday, I finally bought some shears and went to work. I'm still getting used to it but I think I like it for now. What do you think?

Toys in the Attic

2008-03-05T10:33:00.000-08:00

I've recently been taking a lot of photos of vintage toys. Some really fun stuff. I, of course, like the Hot Wheels best. I'll post a few more later.

Back to Blogging

2008-02-28T09:03:00.000-08:00

Yes, it's true. I'm starting another eponymous blog. This time, I'll be sticking almost exclusivly to photography and leaving the "Hey Dude" behind. I plan to post the best of the shots I take at work, on assignment and personally. I'll also let you know when I post a new picasa web album, a new photo on flickr, red bubble, or anywhere else.

To start, a photo of my honey on our patio. She was out blowing bubbles by herself and I just thought it was so cute that I grabbed a flash and a light stand and disruppted the whole affair. But she was understanding and I think I ended up with a few nice shots.
