Photography

This is the view out the window where I was staying.

We took a trip up Mulholland Drive where you could see absolutely everything...aside from the smog covering up bits.

There I am. =]

Tree Houses?

The sun set in Santa Monica was incredible. We watched it while we ate pretzels and funnel cake on the pier.

At one point here we had to go pee.... and ended up going into a super fancy hotel with the most luxurious bathrooms ever. and we looked like total crazies.

PACIFIC BABY!

Oh, and then there is this guy. He's kind of important.

I arrived back home yesterday from a glorious week in California. A much needed vacation that involved, clubbing, music, traveling, eating out, cooking, sunshine, drinking, and over all the best week of my life.
Here are some photos that give you peek into my trip, although they do it no justice. =]

I came away from this shoot with a mighty headache and some awesome photos =]. To me, it was well worth it.

This is my current series that I'm working on during seminar.
I'm extremely excited about them!

These are part of a series I'm doing for a local music bar that is opening up. i'm really honored to be a featured artist there, not only on the walls but on stage! I'll be posting up some info on the bar when it opens! so keep your eye out.

Finally jumping back on the portrait wagon!

I haven't done some in a while, so here is what I came out with this shoot.

The ocean winds howl on no matter the weather.

Today was a simple one for shooting. The flag captured my attention for a long period of time... the span of time that afterward makes you think "gee, i was looking at that for a while..."

There are some cool images of my window screen that I thought was interesting. Also while I was dilly-dallying around the computer I saw this old couple walking along the boulevard and I quickly snapped a shot. <3

It seems as if every other vehicle that drives down my road is a plow truck. Some of them doing it for money, and some of them clearly just for fun. Example being the one man in a blue truck that felt the need to plow the sidewalks with his street plow, piling the snow in huge mounds leaving it un-walkable. The land becomes increasingly whiter everyday while the ocean storms on remaining its rich blue-green-grey.

This is just a little update from my window.

Love Birdie

The day greeted me with sunshine.

I was pretty much blinded when I first opened my eyes, because the sun was beating right through my curtains. With a big stretch as if to give the day a welcome hug, I grabbed my camera and set off for a walk.

It was cold, but I was so fascinated by the world around me enough not to really notice that the feeling in my fingers had escaped them. And then only did I realize when I went to snap the shutter for an amazing shot, my finger was motionless, uncontrollable and utterly frozen to the bone. This is the excuse I have for these photos not being the most in focus. Due to extreme chill it became a highly difficult task to focus the lens in time for Action-Birdie-Shots. =D my fav! So these are just a little bundle of photos I have for today. Enjoy.
