people always ask...

2009-06-14T13:46:00.000-07:00

" are you happy with your job? "
" do you love what you do? "
" are you ever tired of just taking pictures? "

I get these questions a lot, and quite frankly i never know how to answer them...until just this very moment.

These past month has probably been one of the busiest I have ever been. Balancing a production I am a cast member of, being the photography chair for "race for the cure", putting together a gallery show, as well as my regular day job. Talk about stressful!

So I had a show today at 2, and I dont think I was the nicest person today, I tended to be pretty negative, and just a recluse...but WHY? was it the stress? was it not being happy with where I am in life? ...

...after the show, I quickly left and came to the studio, checked my messages, emailed a few clients and then opened up a folder of images from a shoot I had last week...turned on some great music so loud I cant hear the cars outside, or my phone ring...i just sat and edited...

and for the first time I smiled. I really do love what I do, I love the images I capture and the stories I tell...I love my clients expressions to the new pictures of themselves, and most of all, I love knowing that through it all, I am very much content with my life and where I am...

I am doing what I love, and doing it well!

And I leave you with a little bit of homework...go out there and do what YOU love. Life is too short to do otherwise.

Happy sunday to you all!

WEIGHT OF THE RIBBON

2009-06-09T10:52:00.000-07:00

Hey Hey!

So I finally have put together a gallery show that I love DEARLY!

The gallery reflects the emotional journeys of breast cancer victims in their battles against the disease...from moments of strength and triumph to moments of defense and collapse. Dancers from the Carolina Ballet translate the photographer’s concept into visual form through distinct expression and movement.

The gallery took place from 6-9pm to coincide with Downtown Raleigh's First Friday event. The images were be on display for viewing and available for sale. Half of all proceeds were donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, which funds breast cancer research, education, screening, and treatment programs. The gallery also featured a registration station where visitors could sign up for the race, which will be held the following weekend on June 13.

the colours of nicaragua

2008-05-31T13:01:00.000-07:00

I have just returned from a two week backpacking trip through the most beautiful parts, and untouched areas of Nicaragua, Central America. It was such an inspirational, self-liberating trip. I have attached a few photos from the trip as well as a video of the photos [sadly the resolution is poor due to youtube's compression]

Thank you. I hope you enjoyed the photos, please let me know what you think! Till my next post, be safe, keep smiling.

new gallery coming soon.

2008-04-01T15:34:00.000-07:00

So I have been working on getting a new gallery up for the space. The show will be viewed the first friday of May.

I am taking the emotions that colour gives and implementing them through human emotions, expresses and physique.

I hope you can all come and view the gallery.

...these are just a preview of what is to come!

It has been really great with the response from the grand opening of the new studio. So many wonderful people came to the event, and since I have been swamped with work. Over the past few months though I have been shooting for work, rather than shooting the passion of what I love to capture, so I have lotted myself a few hours eachday to be able to work on my own work and get a gallery together.

I realize that I can't do a new gallery each month, so I am opening the studio doors for any artists for the June 08 month. If you know of anyone, or you yourself would like to use the space, I am taking submissions.

More will be coming soon. Website is being completely redone and should be available by the end of April! AHHHHHHH! So much to do, just typing that freaks me out! hahaha!

ok, my friends, off to edit some more, stay in touch. and spread the love.

ciao
