playing with edits

Well, it's the holiday season, and I've pretty much shut down shop till 2010. Work has been busy and whooooeeee, I've been enjoying the weekends off. Anywho, here's a couple of new edits from 2008 just for kicks.

Model: Lori Madison

A couple more shots from the shoot

Thanks for viewing! Comments and critiques are always welcomed!

Wolfpup and Betsy

I decided to try doing a shoot with more than one model. Thanks to Wolfpup and Betsy for working on this with me!

What's up?

So, yeah, I guess you could say that I've been slacking lately. Maybe something to do with the change of seasons.

Really, I've just been trying to get back to center, get my shooting budget back up again, and deciding what next steps to be taking. You know, the whole, it's the journey that's important kind of stuff. And yet, I find myself slowly sitting still. I have time off, and find myself simply catching up on all the rest I didn't get during the week. It's a phase, I know. Just gotta get my ass through it.

In the mean time, what I have shot recently, is a fashion show organized by some friends. So, here you go, fair audience, pictures from the "Go Go Fashion Show Show" featuring clothing Amy Elizabeth Couture, among others.

Cheers!

just because

A couple weeks ago, I caught the swifts(birds) at Chapman Elementary school here in Portland, Or. At dusk,

they circle and fly en masse into the chimney at the school where they nest for the night. At first, I wasn't excited about the pictures I got. Mostly, they tend to look like dots or specks near a chimney. So, I decided to give it a bit of a retro look by adding a texture. And then, tweak colors here, contrast there. I guess I'm kind of proud of myself. Now it's spooky specks near a chimney that could be birds. Cheers!

Shoot with Sarah

I caught up with Sarah for a shoot. Was it last weekend? Oh how the perception of time gets jumbled!

First attempt at a shower shot. Yay, nay?

recent stuff

Been busy and been slow depending on the week. The other week had 6 shifts at work and 3 photo shoots to boot. thus, this week has been editing and catching up.
