Me, myself and I...

Just a random Sunday Funday! I love shooting this boy...he's one of my very best friends the whole world.  The other thing that makes this great is our ability to make each other laugh uncontrollably.  I haven't been shooting much lately because I've been so busy with school and work, but I'm ready to pick up my camera again. I'm gonna have to find some new subjects to shoot, so get ready cause I will be asking.

We'll name her Minnie Pearl...




My favorite thing about taking pictures is the randomness that you get yourself into.  This day was definitely random, but I went with it and this is what came from it. Let's just clear this up...we had planned to take pictures, but I definitely thought that they would be more structured.  That's my power needs coming out in me, but I'm glad that I just decided to go with whatever happened.  All of these kids were so welcoming and just allowed me to keep the camera right in their faces.  I'm happy with them and I hope that you like them too!








I just got back from a work retreat and while I was there I was able to score two finds.  The first was The Eagles Greatest Hits on Vinyl for $1.  (Hell yes!) The second thing was a book named Ellen Foster by Kaye Gibbons. It's an Oprah's Book Club book, which is usually a no-no for me, but the character was described as "a southern Holden Caulfield, tougher perhaps, but funny..." I mean, how could I pass that up?

So besides the new Eagles vinyl, I have whipped out ...And Out Comes the Wolves! Give 'em the boot!

Swagga at 100...


It's been a long time since I posted, but I couldn't wait to show you the pictures of this kid. Talk about a gorgeous boy! He was so much fun to shoot. His mom was a little concerned about his mane, but I definitely think that it added to his swag.  He had that Justin Bieber thing going on, which is just adorable. A lady told him that he needed to be an actor.  I think so too.

giving me that james dean look...

So I'd made myself a promise that I would spend a good portion of my summer behind my camera.  I'm trying to at least post once or twice a week.  This means that I have to push myself to find things/people to take pictures of.  I'm finding it hard because it's summer and I want to be lazy.  Speaking of lazy...this shoot was so early in the morning (not really, 10:30) at the oceanfront.  During the summer, the oceanfront freaks me out - the tourist like to dart out in front of your car.  Fuckin' sucks! Anyways, this boy (he really is a man) allowed me to take pictures of him on the Boardwalk. The bike was his idea, but a good one! I've been friends with his family for a while now and we've become fast friends. Shooting him was fun and I can't wait for the night shoot he promised me with him and his friends...it's gonna be a blast!

Can we go home and eat cannolis now?

Um, just trying out the wide angle lens! Not sure if I love it because I love to see faces, but it does make very interesting pictures.  Of course the first person that I wanted to take pictures of with this lens was this girl.  She is so beautiful and definitely fun to hang with!  Some of the funniest picture were when she was flaring her nostrils.  Needless to say...we had fun!

Make sure you get a Facebook profile for me...


One word: GORGEOUS! These two were amazing to shoot.  They knew how to smile naturally and were great together. No, they're not dating...they're brother and sister! They love each other to death.  It reminded me a lot of me and my brother.  While shooting them, I noticed how different the two were...she's very quiet and he's quite boisterous.  But despite their differences they both knew how to pose!  This was one of my favorite shoots because I hadn't seen the brother in about a year and we were able to catch up which made it more comfortable. Thank you both for such a fun shoot! And...I hope a got a Facebook profile for you.

This girll is so boss, boss, boss...

I really have nothing to say about this little cutie - except that she's all grins and giggles.  This shoot happened randomly, but I believe it was meant to be.  Her mom -- a brilliant photographer and all around great human being -- allowed me to just hang with them one random weekday and this is what it developed into.  She had a great backyard and a beautiful tutu that this little bug loved to wear.  It was exceptionally easy to take pictures of her and her chocolate chip eyes were the shit! Love, love, love her! Thanks for a wonderful afternoon!




this barn door was very cool


LISTEN AND LEARN

Lately, I've been listening to a lot of old '80s  music.  I'm feeling the need to listen to The Cure, Violent Femmes, etc. Send me an email if you happen to have any on vinyl you liked to get rid of because I am always looking.

I'm also revisting The Scarlet Letter.

Human: The Art Show

I went to an art show last night at Kerouac's Coffeehouse in Norfolk.  I ventured out on my own, which is very hard for me to do.  Brought my camera, to boot! On my journey, I met some amazing photographers thar I hope to see again.  Here are some shots I took while being there.  Oh yeah, I'm learning how to use flash...so be kind!
