two words: grape. fruit.

If my lunch has anything to say about it, seems like summer at the studio is almost upon us. From my point of view it looks delicious.

my two geniuses

Okay, let me set this up for you: My wife and I had to take care of some business at our bank. To keep our kids occupied during our little meeting I gave my youngest my phone, mainly to play Angry Birds or Temple Run or whatever. As long as he stayed still and quiet, which is always the name of the game when in public. About half way through the meeting I ducked my head out to make sure they weren't destroying the place and they both were still quietly sitting in the lobby-engaged, though now they both seemed to be "playing" on my phone. That was this past Monday. Today, while scrolling through my phone's images I came upon some photos I never took, but more mysterious than that was that the images were little abstract works of art that I don't even know how they were taken. They are several images layered one atop the other-multiple multiple exposures of ill composed photos they have a sort of beauty after you look at them for a while. They remind me of the Beatles' White Album whose layered sounds can be discovered and rediscovered again and again upon each listen. I edited the pictures on Snapseed to enhance the layered images so one can actually see the subjects they photographed and to bring to the surface the texture and color in each photo. The results are absolutely stunning. I'd hang these on my wall any time.

 

a tree in greensburg

I sorta' became obsessed with this tree and photographed probably one time too many...with two separate cameras.  Its branches just stretched out so far away from itself, like it had been grasping at something just beyond its reach for a hundred years, never tiring, never giving up.  It's pretty awesome.  Shot with Canon AE-1, lomo lady grey film. 

city. view.

Downtown skyline of Fort Worth, Tx; circa Winter, 2013.  Shot with a Canon AE-1 and Lomography Lady Grey 35mm film.  Processed at Baron's Photografix, increased the contrast with Adobe Photoshop CS3.  Posted this morning on Blogger.com.  Taken from the North side view of downtown, more specifically, Yucca St.

iphoneography :: before the bride arrives

Shot this quickly at St. Aloysius Catholic Church before the wedding party arrived.  Edited on the back end using snapseed app.  Love it.

christina :: bridal portraits

I had to keep these portraits under wraps until after the wedding day.  Y'know, I didn't want to spoil the surprise for Dad or her Fiance; but now since the vows were exchanged as well as rings, the dancing done, the party thrown I finally get to share these with you.

 

 

natalie :: portrait

Natalie is a fellow photographer but moonlights as a super bad-A karate queen.  She works at a dojo most evenings and one day while on a shoot together I asked her if she would smash through a few boards for me for a portrait.  I'm sure you can guess what she said.

impossible louisiana

It's another wedding weekend down in South Louisiana, but before I left I wanted to share a shot taken on The Impossible Project's latest film.  I'll see you all after I get back into town!
