Fifteen Minutes. …Do I hear 30?
Holy Smokes. You guys see that gigantic visitor’s spike in my google analytics dashboard? That was on the day David Hobby, aka The Strobist, pimped me out on twitter. …his handle is @strobist for those reading this post who didn’t find me through him. 1,835! that’s how many people checked out my blog July 15th, [...]
Holy Smokes! I’m in 2nd place.
I know this sounds like I’m bragging — and well, I guess I am a little, but not in a cocky way. It’s more like a “super excited” kind of bragging. I did really well in the recently judged September clip contest. The monthly clip contest doesn’t really go in order. December’s already been judged, [...]
HAT TRICK! NPPA: Monthly News Clip Contest
WooHoo!!! I cleaned up in the Illustration category for December’s NPPA: Monthly News Clip Contest.
Shoot the Emotion!
If I was to give myself some professional New Years resolutions, this is one of them. “Shooting the emotion” weighs heavier to viewers than cool, graphic images. Using rad light and a bad-ass compositions, don’t cut to the core. They’re just eye candy. Don’t get me wrong, I LOOOOOVE eye candy. When I look over [...]
Yup. That’s Michelle.
Michelle Obama jumps rope during The White House Healthy Kids Fair held on the South Lawn Wednesday, October 21, 2009. I shot this while on assignment for the New York Times.
Jared at f/1.8
(Tuesday, March 31, 2009) I just bought a new 35mm f/1.8 DX lens. I tried it out on my D700. I guess it’s a part time FX lens. If you close down the aperture and focus out the lens casing starts showing up. So, if this lens stays below 5.6 I think it’ll be fine. [...]
His New Heart, Part 2.
Halloween. Dressed like a cheerleader, using his sister’s River Hill pom-pom uniform, Noah Thyberg, 11, goes trick-or-treating with more than a dozen friends around the River Hill neighborhood Saturday, October 31, 2009. The mask isn’t part of his costume, it’s a post-heart transplant operation preventative measure. The written story is here and here is Part [...]
His New Heart, Part 1.
The vertical scar on Noah Thyberg’s chest is from the heart transplant surgery he received September 3rd. The scar is no problem for the eleven-year-old; it’s the puffiness of his face that makes him self conscious. “I don’t look like me.” His rounder features are a side effect of Prednisone, a prescribed steroid he must [...]
My Portraits for …free?
(***Pssst! if you can’t see any photos, please keep reading. I desperately need your feedback. thanks in advance!***) I just made a gallery on my photoshelter page featuring some of my best portraits. After the jump is a slideshow of the gallery for your viewing (and sharing) pleasure. Portraiture is my favorite kind of photography, [...]
Graph Paper Press
I just dropped $99 and got a Graph Paper Press membership for a year. The main draw was my ability to integrate my photoshelter account with my Word Press blog. A FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC bonus is all the WP tutorials I get from GPP.
STROBIST POST
My Spring Players of the Year portraits were featured on the STROBIST blog today!!! Thanks David Hobby.
These are the people in my neighborhood.
This alley entrance is maybe 150 feet away from my front door. Believe it or not, my neighborhood is really safe. From what I understand, the only major crimes are drug dealing. There isn’t too much violent crime, or property crime. I haven’t gotten word on what was going on here, but I think it’s [...]
