My Blog

I've said it before, I am not the best at updating my blog or posting to my various social media outlets.I take a lot of pictures that never see the light of day...especially the ones I shoot with my iPhone. Soooo, here's a compilation of some of the iSnaps I've made during that last few months.

I've been working on images for my Seattle archive the last couple weeks. Mid last week, during a facebook break from editing, I saw that Visual Supply Co had put out a new film pack, Film 03 Instant. Currently in my closet I have a polaroid 600, sx-70, fuji instax, instant back for my holga, instant back for my hasselblad. But the last time I used any of those was, wow...probably three to four years ago. When I think about that I get a little sad. Anyway, being extremely fond of instant, I decide to purchase the film pack for lightroom.

Happy Mardi Gras!!  I had the pleasure of photographing the first Mardi Gras after Katrina.  It was my first and only Mardi Gras so I have nothing to compare it to but, WOW, the people of New Orleans know how to throw a party.  It was so fantastic to see people out celebrating in the wake of such a devastating storm.  I followed the parade from Uptown into the French Quarter...focusing mostly on characters.  Here are a few of my favorite shots.

It's funny how when you put something "out there" things happen. Apparently that's called the Law of Attraction and fyi, Oprah is a big believer. So the day I decided to make music a focus in my work for 2013, I logged into my twitter feed, which I hadn't done since Sep 2010. I try to get on board with the social networking, but I just can't seem to get into it. That's another thing I need to work on this year. Anyway, when I logged in, this is the first thing I saw in my feed:

My first shoot of 2013! One of my goals this year is to delve a little deeper into the music world with my photography. I'm interested in capturing more documentary and behind the scenes type imagery. Recently, a series of very fortunate events led me to Brett Andrus, who is co-owner of the Modbo and S.P.Q.R. art galleries in downtown Colorado Springs.
