I decided to start an email list because of all the changes with social media and things always changing. They change how you see the feed and what in the feed and sometimes it could be a few days till you see someones post or miss it and not see it at all. I am learning more and more about business like marketing. I feel like sending emails is at times more reliable then posting something online. I will not spam you with blog posts or photo updates. This will be more of a way to invite you to shows, what I am working on and also things related to sessions and other photography and creative doings. You do not have to sign up if you do not want to, I do post on my blog once or twice a week and update my site photographs every so many months.
50mm 1.2
I got to use a friends lens for the day and play around with it. Here are some of the shots I got with a very shallow depth of field.
Why #9
If you could go back and start photography in middle school/ early high school, what would that look like then and today?
I feel like if I started back then my life now would be totally diffrent because of the connections and the photos and the work I would have. I would have probably been the school photographer in some way, from school events, sports, portraits and any other school documentation. I would had more clients and shows since I started before I actually did which was end of sophomore.
After doing research on these famous photographers who are you most like?
I would have to say a mix of Walker Evans and Robert Frank for the most part. But in the over all I think who I am as a person I am a mix of everyone in some way shape of form. Almost all of them have/had learning disabilities which as you can tell if you read anything on my site. All of them for the most part interlock other then just photography and being an artist.
Since you don't go to school (college) how do you learn and grow?
Well I do watch a lot of videos on photography, business and life stuff. Talking with people is another good way that I learn. Also I am a very hands on learner so I learn by trying something out and if its not working the way I want try something new. I do have a mentor/teacher who I see every so often that has helped me branch out. I do talk with other professionals in other industries not just photography. I also do read here and there.
Inferred Photography
A while ago I got this inexpensive inferred filter and tried it and did not work and did not do much else with it. Recenty I decided to take it out and play with it.
The results were interesting as you can see and very harsh red because of the "inferred". The filter is very dark so you have to have a long exposure to capture the light through the filter. One of the things I dont like about the filter is its very hard to see what you are photographing because of the dark filter. Some of the results I got were better then others and there are a few I like.
Seans Run 2018
Sean's Run is a yearly event with many diffrent kinds of races and activities for all ages. From zumba to a big 5k race which is the main event. Sean's Run started in response to a local athlete who was in a car accident. Theres a race called battle of the belts for local middle and high school kids, to help raise awareness of the safety to wear a seat belt. Click here to learn more. Last year they did not have the big 5k because it started storming, luckly there was no storm this year just a lot of rain during the main event.
Here is a gallery of photographs I took. I am sharing all color.
