BEST OF 2009
As we wrap up the first week of the new year I can’t help but reflect on the past year. There were struggles as there are with anything, but I’d be remised if I didn’t sit back and be thankful for the good things. I met a lot of great people, made a few [...]
CHRON FAVS 2
This is my second installment of my 2 part favorites post highlighting my favorite images taken during Houston Chronicle assignments. This post contains images from roughly mid-May 2009 through this past weekend taken from my Houston Chronicle assignments only. I am a regular contributor to my hometown newspaper and get to shoot all kinds of [...]
WARPED TOUR 2009
Yes, this is one of these posts. The ones where I preface my blog entry by apologizing for my absence and saying that it won’t happen again, but it’s bound to. At least I have a good excuse. For the past month now Ive been in Brasil with a 10-day visit to Africa. There are [...]
A SHOW AND A WIN
My second proper Houston live music show of 2009 crept up on me quick. I had no idea there was a show I had planned on attending tonight, but thankfully the Rockets were playing in LA, which meant the game didn’t start until 9:30pm CST. That gave Chris and I enough time to go to [...]
LIVE MUSIC FUN
I’m totally on a blogging spree today. Tonight my boy Stef aka P.O.S. came to town with Saosin and Underoath and another hokey new metal band that all the kids like. Stef is a hip-hop artist and it’s always lovely to see him open for punk/metal acts. All of the 15-18 year old kids smashed [...]
FRESH DESIGNS
I always enjoyed my old (current until today) business card. It was nice and clean and matched my older web portfolio nicely. It was glossy on both sides and displayed a nice mix of color images in a neat little design on the front with one image and my info on the back. Earlier this [...]
WARPED TOUR
I haven’t been doing a lot of shooting recently so naturally yesterday’s all day extravaganza at the 2008 Warped Tour was a welcomed return to shooting stills. My buddy Cameron and I made the trek out to Sam Houston Race Park, a horse racing venue that has recently started holding concerts at its location. Cameron [...]
WHAT A WEEK END/WEEKEND
I’ve had an extra exciting week. Thursday I did an assignment for the Chron at Moody Garden’s on the relatives of the Titanic survivors. Friday I flew in a helicopter over Galveston and Bolivar for our upcoming movie, The Messenger. Friday, I photographed the amazing guys in Bayside. Saturday was a full day of UH spring football, Astros [...]
INTROSPECTION
…or just a cheesy self-portrait? I guess it’s really not a self-portrait since my friend Drew pressed the button. This image is a result of a spontaneous night of shooting a few friends of mine had recently. I wanted to try a few different lighting ideas for an upcoming commercial shoot and it ended up [...]
A FEW ODDS AND ENDS
Not much going on tonite so I decided to mess around with a few new items. First off, I have been intrigued by the Lensbaby products for some time and since the paper has a few of the newest generation model 3G’s, I thought I’d test one out. Since the paper uses Nikon cameras exclusively I was [...]
