Summer's Preview

Yesterday was the best preview of what summer might look like so far this year. Bright. Sunny. Warm, but not too warm. A beautiful day, which cannot be argued. This day would have been missed is not for two things: Having the day off and a good friend with the same motivations to get out and shoot.

Nathan texts me after seeing an instagram post that I was off and asks if I want to go make some art. Of course I do. I always do. So we head out at about noon. Nathan is working on a personal project that is pretty cool, so we headed into an area of the state that would offer up some subjects for Nathan's project.

First we headed into the town.

Then we headed down to the river.

Then we went into the country side for some interesting times.

Thank you Nathan for a fun afternoon of shooting and getting off my ass. I always appreciate that about you.

Coming out of the funk

20120414-_dsc8796
I was in a bit of a creative funk for the last few months as I came out of the deep funk of winter. And while this was a rough winter for us, we found a refreshed faith in people.

My friends Rick and Shawn have been working with me to put on a huge event for our group in the fall. We took a road trip last week to the beautiful North-Central Coast to meet with the director of this fantastic camp for our retreat. We got a tour of the facilities, had lunch at the camp and sealed the deal. Talk about being inspired!

Then I spent an evening with my favorite model; my wife. We created some fantastic art together. I think it is safe to say that my creative funk is over.

So now I am in the middle of planning a huge creative event involving five photographers, eight or more models, three or four makeup artists and costume and props people. This is going to be huge. This is going to be fun! This is going to be rewarding.

Stay tuned for more fun news.

An old photographer is never dead, he's just over exposed

Going through a temporary creative lull, so nothing to witty to write about at this time. Just going to share a little bit of my recent work I did as a result having cabin fever.
