Hey you!

Take a chance, and fail at what you love,

instead of succeeding at what you hate.

Beauty editorial

This is my first beauty editorial. Editorial's have to be consistent with theme and color gradation, but not so much with the clothing, of course the clothes have to be in the same theme, but not the same outfit in every shot. I am going to make more editorial post in the near future because I had so much fun thinking of what to add to the shots. As always thanks for all the support.

Color?

I have been so intrigued by black and white photos lately. I set out with no destination in mind, not knowing what I am going to shoot for the day, and it has brought the brand new photographer feeling back into shooting for me. I guess its like going on an adventure back in time because I set the camera on black and white and I just shoot, even though I still have the safety net of the raw file under the black and white file ("raw file"- is the untouched data of a photo, so what you shoot is what you get in the raw file, color and all) If you are a lil down about your photos try a new approach, remember what was fun about shooting when you first got you camera. Enjoy yourselves.

My Muse

 My son is and will always be my muse even if he knows it or not. At the tender age of 4 years old he is my favorite person to take photos of because I never know what to expect, which is wonderful for a photographer. I never know what side of him I will get could be his action hero persona, his cool guy or is just being a happy 4yr old (I swear the song Happy by Pharrell Williams was made just for him). My son reminds me so much of myself when I was young just full of imagination and creativity. I look at him and it brings the creativity out in me, that free spirit, and that anything is possible way of thinking he has and will always motivate me to go above and beyond. Who or what is your muse? I thank the lord for mine everyday. For my son Tyler, love daddy.

Sweet!

Hope you all have a sweet day, I know I will.

my new fix

This is my new baby. I got it about two weeks ago and I simply love it. The bike is a fixed gear which means no gear shifting or free wheel coasting. All of the motion is from your leg power, you can move forward or backwards. A bike such as this has much less for you to worry about when riding, just the joy of the ride. So if you see a guy flying past you with camera on his back give him a shout it might just be me. :)
