Getty

What a gorgeous little girl - Claire's niece. I photographed her a little bit last month when I was visiting Whittier with my Nikon (here) and my Mamiya, which is yet to be developed. The light was low and I was only using iso 200 but it turned out nicely considering. We'll see how the medium format looks in a few months I suppose.

Been up in the bay for about two months. Things are great but there's not a whole lot of certainty. That's okay, I think. I'm happy.

Koi again

On the way down to San Diego one afternoon a few months ago, I stopped at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano. I hadn't been there since.. ever? It's fairly small but what it lacks in size, it makes up for visually. The grounds are a beautiful patchwork of slightly crumbling fountains bursting with koi and lilies, sprawling green lawns ringed by the traditional Mission olive trees, crimson buds weighing down pomegranate boughs, vine-enveloped trellises, kumquat trees dripping with vibrant orange fruit. I wanted to live there.

I brought in my Diana F+ and a few rolls of 120 and had fun with all the color.

Welllll, I realize I haven't posted in forever. I'm terrible, I know.

This photo (plain ol 35mm on my Nikon) reminds me of Walnut Creek, up in the East Bay. My friend Claire was helping make french toast for my good friend Erin's birthday. Soon I'll be able to hang out with both girls on a regular basis; I'm moving to the bay area in a few weeks. Exciting! Nerve-wracking!

Slow Moves




Broken Holga. I think the shutter is sticky and it doesn't always trigger the flash. These shots are double or triple exposures. Junk, but I like the anonymity...I just got hit with deja vu. Weird.

My friend Tasja and I shot some pictures of our friend Susan recently; this is a crop of one of my photographs. I used my Mamiya 645S and was reallllly happy with the results.

We created a gorgeous softbox feel by putting a fitted sheet right over the window, cutting the light and contrast down drastically. I can't wait to shoot in her room again.

I think I was using regular old Neopan b/w film here!

My first time exhibiting work!

This month I'm exhibiting work for the first time. I rented a small section of wall in a gallery in the Santa Ana Artists Village, and this coming Saturday is their monthly Artwalk. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi to me and check out all the other great artists!
