New Blog

As Photo Editor for the Banner and Angelos at California Baptist University, I have decided to take the initiative to promote the personal photographic development of my photographers. Additionally, I expect to learn a lot from this experience. To do so, I am launching a daily photoblog.

Kim: The First Photoshoot

This is one of my closest (and most beautiful) friends, Kim. I took these photos of her in May of 2006, and it was the first portrait shoot that I had done. They turned out fairly well, but being portrait photos, I decided that I ought to do some touchup work (not that she needed it). I additionally decided to de-saturate everything except her.

Yeah, so about four hours of background repainting and stuff on this one.

Her eyes are naturally blue-green. . .

We Are the Arsenal

A few weeks ago I shot some photos for the band We Are the Arsenal. They are all really cool guys, and they have a great sound. Check them out for sure on MySpace. Their CD art is kinda grungy from what they told me, so I took the photos kinda an antique grunge feel. We shot around in fullerton.

There was this cool bridge over a little canal.

The guys left to right: Ryan, Alan, Peter, and Kris.

This one I think is my favorite shot, so I threw in the logo.

Katie and Courtney

Okay so here is a project that I recently shot and edited for Katie, a friend from school, and her sister. They're giving these photos to their parents for mother's and father's day.

New Blog

I give up. I had been putting off getting a blogger account because I would rather host it all and do it all myself, but I finally gave in. I figure that you need a version 1.0 before you can have a version 2.0 (yes Brendan, I have been paying attention), and so many cool photos keep going by that just are not appropriate to post on facebook, but deserve some publicity. So here I am. On Blogger. For now.
