Image 8

I'm adding an image to "Solitude".  This is a project that, when finished, will be large format prints printed at over 6 feet in length and over 4 feet in width.  I want the viewer to be able to "step inside" the image and feel what the image is trying to convey... a sense of being alone. The images below are what I have narrowed my 8th image down to.  In the first one, I really believe it gives that sense of being "alone", but it is at a different orientation than the rest of the images, while the second image fits the rest of the project better, I don't think it conveys the message as well.  Please leave me some comments on what how you feel about the images.  Visit the Solitude page to see the rest of the images or go to my Facebook page.

Playing With Night Photography

I have been working lately for the Starz Denver Film Festival. On one particular night, before I went home, I decided to play.  The vantage point on top of the Starz Film Center garage is absolutely phenomenal.  These images of downtown Denver are some of the best I’ve done so far.

Cold

Ice crystals form like tiny spider webs over a cold surface.  Obscuring the view of what lies behind as though nothing else matters except ice itself.  But ignorance, and arrogance are their downfall. For their very existence depends on the cold, and a small amount of heat would destroy them.

Web Port Head Shots

During the session where my class took head shots of everyone, I was one of the ones who set up a lighting bay.  These are some of the images I shot on my camera.  I have cropped, toned and sharpened the images.  A couple of the images were taken by, Ashley Keller.

My Head Shots

I recently had my head shots taken for my online presence.  It was an assignment from a class I'm taking were we are creating our online presence.  These images were taken by Jazzmin Nikol Windey, Angus Hooper III, and Berry Oliver.  I took the images and edited them.  I cropped, toned, and sharpened the images.  I think they look great.

Hands

This is the project I put together this quarter at school. The series focuses on what we can do with our hands. I really like how intricate hands can be. I do plan on continuing the project on my own. The series is shown as diptychs because I wanted to show who the hands belong to.

Solitude or Just Down Town

I think I may start a personal project about solitude.  Either that or I may begin a project of photographing downtown Denver at night from several different angles.  Here are a few beginning shots.  These are taken using a 4x5 Toyo camera with a Leaf digital back.  A wonderful camera system that is way out of my reach at the moment except to check out from school.

Senior Portraits

These are from my first senior portrait session.

The Great Sand Dunes of Colorado

I recently went on a trip to the Great Sand Dunes State Park in the San Luis Valley of Colorado. This is an extremely impressive land feature in southern Colorado. I hope you enjoy the images I have created.  Please check out the Nature page of this blog to see the entire set of images.

Thee previous two images were created using the Camera+ app on my iPod Touch.

Digital Instant Toy Cameras

With the invention of the iPhone, and other smart phones came the ability to create an old, but new kind of photography.  I'm not talking about just taking pictures, but creating photography.  With programs such as Hipstamatic, Camera+, and Instagram, people are creating art with the simplest of cameras, their smart phones. These cameras for the most part bring back all the great film styles from mid 20th century, but also include styles from photography's early days.  I have been able to create pictures that look like tin types. 

With the use of social media, companies are posting pictures of their products using these programs. This is a Pizza Hut ad that was posted on their Facebook fan page. It's got a vintage look to it, and looks as though it was printed on paper that had to be emulsified by the creator of the image.







Here are a few of my own images that were created using the Camera+ and Hipstamatic apps from Apple's App Store. Visit the link to my Smart Phone Art page and check out more of my work.
