First Car Shots with the D300

summer time

yeah can't really go wrong with skulls and bandanna. "BR OO (skulls) dZ" nike air trainer 2 sb anthracite if your wondering.



blue gold silver black. the elephant might be seen in later works. for my friend "BRANDON" kills it at the skate park. tried to teach me how to 5/0 today but I couldn't hit it

This piece made it in Red Shoes Review pg 50. =). so I thought I sold this during the school year and it was a hassle just trying to talk to the buyer but I guess she doesn't want it anymore. This piece is still up for grabs for those who are willing to buy.
"Upstream Leftovers" - the reason why I gave it that title is because "Leftovers" came from the fact that all the paint and the wood I used were all leftovers that my dad did not want and paint cans that barely had any paint in it. "Upstream" meant that it was a success, plus its a koi fish and when a koy is painted upwards its a sign of good luck. I had this idea in my head since summer but never had the time to finish it. When I finally did it I felt that I completed what I wanted and it was only upstream from here on out.

word to your mother

it's mothers day so you should go thank your mom for life



nothing to do with mothers day but i've been hooked on santogold for a few weeks and this is an awesome video and song. would be fun to make those props and effects.

D300 Test Shots

I haven't had a lot of time to play with my new D300 since Finals just happened and I'm still working full time. But, so far I'm convinced that this three-pound hunk of metal is totally worth the investment. The last piece is an HDR shot, if you're wondering.

Also, an update on the studio lighting: We swapped out the 3500K Incandescent bulbs with 5000K Florescent ones. The wattage of the new bulbs is notably less beefy, therefore producing less light, but the new color temperature is worth it, especially when it comes to product photography.

New gear

Picked up a light kit and new tripod for kev today and we were just messing around with the setup. Taking pics for the website next week.

Art History

Some of my friends at school need to take art history for their major. I wanted to take it but knowing that most of them failed changed my decision.

So this is my art history or at least what I remember.

My dad used to take me to Chicago during the weekends to check out the new exhibits at the art museum. I only remember two though. Norman Rockwell (on the left) and Ansel Adams. Norman Rockwell was the first famous American painter. He did 321 covers for the Saturday Evening post and all his paintings focused on what America should look like. I look at his paintings now and still can't believe the detail and the concepts he put into every single one of his works.










Ansel Adams was an American photojournalist that shot scenic views of America. Whats funny is that his shots can still kill whatever is in the market today and he didn't have to use photoshop or all those other programs to enhance his photos. just raw.
















On the way to Chicago, I couldn't stop looking at the graffiti that surrounded the train yards. Interested me more than the exhibits.

So this is my history. mix of all three will be my future.
