Between Ice

A Study in melting.
While on a photo walk I discovered these amazing natural ice sculptures near a set of thawing out docks. The way the light was coming in from the setting sun was so unique and inspiring. I spent a long time relaxing and talking hundreds of pictures.
The chaotic beauty here reminds me once again that nature is indeed a great artist.

Full view a must on the pictures HERE.

Extremea – A photoset

// May 9th, 2008 // View Comments // Flickr, photography

This is a fun little shoot I have to share with you today. This shoot is based on a scene in the movie Paranoid Park. I never know what to expect from a Gus Van Sant movie, and this one really held my attention. I saw the movie on a Tuesday. The next day I get a call from a woman who wants to work with me. I told her that I was thinking about trying to bring the scene I saw in the movie into a photo, and she was totally onboard. So that Friday I found myself in bathroom with her in my shower. This looks like an easy shoot, but keep in mind that her eyes are open while under the running water. She did an excellent job helping me achieve my goal. Once we go what we wanted we just goofed around and went on to get some more great shots.

Mysterious Blurrs – My city

// March 6th, 2008 // View Comments // News, photography

Normally I would talk on and on, giving each picture a story of such detail. But for this series, I wanted to bring out my personal side. So I bring to you my mystery. My love of mystery. Never will I talk about what these are pictures of. I will say this. These pictures are indeed photos. Except for the framing set up, no modifications where used in creating these effects. These are all in camera.

The city by night, the city by day. Forcing focus, forcing contrast. Bring out the basic shapes and colors of what we see everyday. Sometimes the light hits the lens just right and there’s no point in even trying to focus.

All photos can be viewed here.

Prints are also available here.
