Moment of Conception







































I was trying to come up with ideas for some stock photography - and it was one of the hardest things I could have tried to do. Me and coming up with ideas forcefully do not mix. At all. So you can imagine my excitement this morning when I was home sick, I saw that the cat was playing with a piece of a teabag that i take off every morning when i take my tea to work. (I don't like the paper getting all soggy and wet in my nalgene!)


It looked like how they are placed out in my photos. And I, being me, thought to myself - well, isn't it obvious.










Anyway I've choosen a few that I've just edited as my personal favorites, and I hope you like them too!


















































So all in all, pretty productive for a sick day. I cant use these for stock, because they are much too noisy. But they do make for some fun photography. Enjoy your day!

It was a beautiful day today!















I know I've already posted photos of my cat, but he was being so cute in the sun, i couldn't resist the urge to take even more pictures of him. he was just too darn cute.





So... yea. I hope the weather stays like this!

a pretty great sunday so far...

So for the past few days I haven't had much to blog about or post. But i'm glad to say I have booked a few more weddings, and I am going to be meeting some more people in the next week or so!

Feeling inspired, (and still pumped from booking a wedding today!) I decided to edit a few more photographs I've taken in the past day or so.

I've been messing around with images in raw and I think i like the results a ton. I still am frustrated with how huge the image files are, but I cannot complain about the quality. These are obviously a little more compressed (thank-you internet) but I hope you enjoy anyway.
















This is a view outside my bedroom window. I didn't realize that the one tree looked like a man looking in almost. It nearly scared me when i was editing.





















I have some old flash bulbs that are hanging in our guestroom as an art piece. This is only one of them, but you can see small remnants of some of the other ones in the bottom right corner of the photo.



Anyway, I hope the weekend went well for all!

Look at me, posting again!



Okay, so its been a while since I've kept up a blog of any sort whatsoever. Actually the last blog i kept religiously was in high school, and that was with a good ole' xanga. So i pretty much am starting from scratch again.

And thankfully, I have a good reason to post now!


I realized this morning that having a low blood sugar was good for one thing, which was coming up with great photo ideas! I have a whole new idea for a series of self portraits that I'm very excited to work on, but I need to grow my hair out a little more before I can accomplish this HUGE task. So more to come on that in the next few months.

As I only have one reader/follower currently (hello Jonathan!) I'll spare him from worthless ranting and post a few more photos for future readers!





I just set up a mini studio in the guest room, and here are a few practice images I took. I'm still working around where to put the lights - but I'm pretty happy with what I have!

Anyway, I'll post more people photos tomorrow once I decide how to go about it.

New blog!

I jumped on the photographer bandwagon it seems. I've had a few sessions i'll begin posting on here, along with some personal artwork/stuff I've been working on!

Here's a photo of my kitty (named Banksy) sleeping. He's a sweet little cat, but he does love to get in trouble.
