iPhone Lomography Experiment
by admin on Feb.02, 2010, under iPhone, lomography, photography
Life has been super crazy lately! Somehow, I’ve managed to find time to shoot and experiment. While I love nothing more than to hit the streets with my DSLR hanging across my shoulder, I have recently discovered the joy of shooting with my iPhone. I’ll detail the rough list of apps I use for iPhone photography in another post tomorrow, but for now here is a quick and dirty lomography experiment I did while waiting for class to start.
The photo above was fully created on my 1st generation iPhone using only the MoreLomo app.
Shooting (for) the Clouds
by admin on Jan.22, 2010, under photography, sky
Latest set of images. I’m really, really, really loving creating stunning black and white photographs. A lot can be said and argued for color, but I feel that black and white forces us to really pay attention to what makes a good photograph. Most importantly, shape and contrast. Anyway, the sky decided to play nice and produce my all-time favorite clouds. And, boy, did it ever produce! I happened to glance up at the sky, noticed the clouds, and instantly knew that, not only did I need to head over to my favorite location – the Village Creek Drying Beds – to shoot them, but that I would be shooting for black and white. Below are my two favorite examples, along with the best color representation, just because seeing this sky put me in such a good mood!
Old Arlington Train Bridge

Got out of Trig class this morning and had a major itch to shoot. Haven’t shot much at all in a while due to scheduling conflicts, so it was extremely awesome to just hold my camera in my hands and click the shutter. At any rate, I found this old train bridge in far west Arlington a couple of weeks ago and made a mental note to come back and shoot it. With the lingering mist/fog this morning I felt it was the perfect opportunity to go and shoot the old train bridge. Pictured below is one of the better captures from the shoot. While working on the photo in post, the whole set of images just begged to be processed in black and white, so it was all I could do to oblige. Enjoy!
Early Morning Decay

Decided to get up early this morning and explore more of the old industrial area just north of downtown Fort Worth. Made a few clicks and walked away with some new images to add to the ol’ portfolio. I’m definitely keeping the creative juices good and moist by continuously pursuing urban decay imagery. There’s almost something romantic about the scenes I discover in these old industrial areas. Below is one of my favorites from this morning’s outing.
New Projects!
by admin on Jan.10, 2010, under projects
It seems appropriate that my first official post on this site is the announcement of a couple of new projects that I will be focusing on over the next couple of months.
The biggest, as far as attention and time-consumption is concerned, is the creation and output of a visual effects reel to be submitted for my consideration as the visual effects wizard for the upcoming short film being done by one of my buddies. This is very exciting for me, as I have always loved creating visual effects, and it will provide me with a very tight focus for my photography and videography. Once the reel is finished and handed over I will definitely be sure to post it up here on the site.
The other couple of projects are a family portrait session and two different model shoots – one male and one female. I am equally as excited about these projects, as it will allow me to finally add people portraits to my photography portfolio. I will also share those here as I complete them.
