TRAVEL: New Orleans
Rob and I were in New Orleans last week for a portfolio building shoot and it turned out great. We’d always talked about taking a trip that would allow us to focus on photography and I’ve always wanted to go to New Orleans so we finally made it happen. The culture and vibe of New [...]
New Gear
So i’ll be the first to admit that photography is much less about equipment than it is about the vision and creativity that you the photographer provide to create a visually compelling scene. Knowing this I can’t believe what I can do with my newly acquired Nikon D700! I’ve only had it for a few [...]
Photographing People
Lately I’ve been trying to identify certain aspects of my photography which aren’t as strong as others so I can work on them. The one that sticks out recently is photographing people. Similar to what my good friend Rob said in his post on the subject a while back (post here), photographing people is not [...]
TRAVEL: Croatia Slideshow/Gallery
Alright, a lot of people have been asking so below is the slideshow of the best photographs from the Croatia trip. You can expand the slideshow if you would like and can also click on a picture to view it full screen or to buy prints. You can also see a lot more Croatia/Montenegro/Bosnia-Herzegovina photos [...]
TRAVEL: Croatia
Trg. sv Stjepana (Main Square) in Hvar, Croatia It’s been a while but I’m back; from both my wedding and a long vacation so I’ll get right to it. My wife (still sounds a little weird) and I spent two incredible weeks exploring the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia where I had quite a few opportunities [...]
SERIES: Something Old, Something New
This is a short series of shots I staged at home the other day. It also reminds me to let anyone reading (if anyone is out there) that I am getting married this weekend and taking a couple weeks to relax in Croatia afterwards, so the blog will be stagnant for a short while. Don’t [...]
Blackjack!
Vegas. We stopped in Las Vegas for a night last weekend and I think I’m still recovering. I used the car window to frame the shot and I think the bright lights and colorful chaotic signage help capture my vision of Las Vegas perfectly. I used a wide aperture (f4.5) to blur Rob’s face a [...]
Travelin’
We’re headin to San Antonio tomorrow and I’m really looking forward to it. We’ve got a family reunion on Saturday, a lot of time to explore, and some R&R at my parent’s house in Austin, which I desperately need. The trip is also exciting because it begins my string of upcoming travels over the next [...]
Black & White
I’ve been playin around with black and white post-processing and this one caught my eye.
Hiking the Foothills
Last weekend’s weather was awesome. It jumped up to over 80 degrees here in Boise so Julie and I couldn’t pass up our first opportunity of the year to go hiking. We headed up the central foothills just north of town and found a Ridge to Rivers Trail right off of Shaw Mountain Road (I [...]
Erstes Buch
I got this old German language instruction book from my grandma who used it in school. It was published in the 50′s and has this really cool minimalistic typography and what I would typically think of as classic German graphic design. What I like most about it is how it’s worn over the years with the [...]
The People’s House
The Idaho State Capitol just re-opened after a several year renovation and looks incredible. I hadn’t been inside since I moved to Boise because it had always been under construction so it was kinda cool to finally be able to walk around inside. Apparently there are some underground tunnels that connect the Capitol to other [...]
