I recently replied to a CL ad, and the first part of the reply email said “I see that you’ve worked with my friend Josh!” E-Young wanted a intellectual hip hop look, so we met up in Denton to shoot that, and I think that we made that happen!

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010I look forward to working with E-Young on some other shoots in the future.
Film is love…I’m in love with film!
Thursday, August 5th, 2010As of late I’ve been buying film, because I’ve had this resurgence of wanting to shoot film. I’m going to start trying to incorporate film in to some of my upcoming shoots, and then in the future I would like to do some shoots on film only! from one of my previous posts this year, it’s pretty established that I have plenty of 35mm film, and then plenty black and white 35mm at that! (I need to get some color, which is to come!), but 120 film I’m kind of lacking on (because I only started toying with medium format 5 years ago, and the only medium format cameras that I had at that time were a Holga and a Lubitel 166) I’ve now added a Yashica 124 to my mix, and I’m hoping to be able to set aside some funds to get a Bronica SqA (that’s right I love the square format), so I’m trying out different types of film; I bought some Kodak Portra NC to try it out, and then I’ve been wanting some comparable Fuji Stock (NPH & NPZ) to shoot and compare. So thanks to Ebay, 15 rolls of film have made their way from parts outside of Texas to my door step, fresh stock too.
And also in my Ebay trawling, I managed to snag a Polaroid land model 220, so I bought me a couple of boxes of Polaroid from Adorama as well, looking forward to shooting those, and learning how to effectively shoot with an older Polaroid model!
*PS, for some reason I didn’t move my old yearbook out of the shot, but I guess in a way it’s appropriate, it was all film back in 93
June? What happened in June?
Friday, July 30th, 2010I had a couple of shoots, a couple of model shoots, a wedding, and these shots for Britini, a local actress/model who I met on Craigslist
Film Time! (Images from April…)
Sunday, July 25th, 2010Just got some images back from ScanCafe….shooting film these days takes some dedication; either you breakdown and get a scanner (and if you’re really serious, learn to hand process your own film, that way you don’t have to send it to a lab and wait almost 2 weeks to get it back…), or you subject yourself to the time it takes to get a couple of rolls developed and then paying the cost to have someone locally scan it (or send it off for scanning).
These are from the first time that me and Grant Meeks, met and we went for a small photowalk through the streets of downtown Dallas, he shot digital, so he had his post up on this within a week or so of us shooting it….me well it’s almost August and I’m just getting the images up, I got the disc from Scancafe back about a week ago. I still want to shoot more film, I just need to make the investment so that I don’t have to have such a long turnaround time on the images.
2/2 of a GOYA shoot

Oh, and for those that are wondering what GOYA means….Get Off Your A** (From Zack Arias)
1/2 of a GOYA shoot….
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010Just having some fun in Downtown Dallas with Grant Meeks….getting off our butts and shooting something. We did one of these not too long ago, Grant shot digital and I shot film…which should be reaching Scan Cafe’s scanning center right about now. This time we switched roles; he shot film and I shot digital. Next time we’re both shooting film, or we’re both shooting digital. Also with shooting with my philosophy of one shot no chimping…I shot this like I had a roll of 24 exp film, I ended up with 25 shots, with about 12 finals, here’s six of those:
Stacey at the Ft Worth Water Gardens
Monday, May 24th, 2010The past couple of months have been nothing but portfolio building, and following through with my 2010 photo goals…. I met Stacey on the List. We met up a couple of weeks ago to shoot one look. Big thanks goes out to Grant Meeks for making the drive from downtown Dallas to downtown Ft Worth to assist!
Five images On a Sunday In Fort Worth
Monday, May 17th, 2010Due to a miscommunication, a shoot that I had scheduled for Sunday didn’t go through, so I decided to go shoot some random images, something that I don’t do often enough, and something that I’ve forgotten how fun it could be.
I didn’t want to wade through a full card of images, so I took very few, only about 8 or so, and I liked these five: Also, I tried slowing down: I walked up, framed the image in the viewfinder, metered, then shot ONE shot. Chimped a little, but honestly, if you’re only taking one shot, what’s the point of chimping? I plan to shoot like this more often!
A bored Self-portrait…***edited for Geek-Speak***
Monday, April 19th, 2010With some dirty wrinkled seamless I had lying around…and an excuse to test out my new Creative Light softbox, I think I’ll be buying some more of their stuff, this is one Nikon SB-80 flash, very even coverage. From a 1 x 1 softbox.
