Hope Springs In Color

Strait out of camera. Hasselblad, 80mm and fuji pro800z.

We’re thinking about renting out this 10 room motel for one of our birthday parties next year. How rad would that be?

Hope Springs Resort

The two days we spent here in January, were some of the most relaxing days of my life. No phones. No TVs. No people. Just me, my man and some mineral pools.

All of these images are strait out of the camera (I cropped the last one slightly). Shot on my Hasselblad 501cm, 80 mm lens with Ilford 3200 Pro film. LOVE this film.

Thinking of starting a darkroom group once a month. When that happens these might be some of the first images I print.

One Year

We’ve been married for 365 days and I still get excited when I see your shoes laying around the house. I love the little domestic reminders that you’re mine.

I still am trying to wrap my head around how much you love me…”Why? Why me?”.

I am still trying to wrap my heart around the idea that I never have to lose you, or say goodbye, or try and get “over you”.

I’m still trying to figure out a way to be exactly what you need me to be….but I have a few years to perfect that, right?

The one thing that makes perfect sense to me is being with you.

One down, lots more to go. Buckle your seat belt baby. Practice year is over…time to play full out.

xxoo.

Moon Jellyfish

I think these would be really great wall size hanging in a dining room.

Sometimes I want to marry jellyfish. For reals.

Happy weekend. G & I are flying to San Fransisco to eat and eat and eat. xo.

Jellyfish + Music

I was mesmerized by these moon jellyfish at the Vancouver Aquarium….so I pulled out my trusty iphone and recorded a few seconds. Now I really want one as a pet.

Thanks Owusu & Hannibal for the sound.

C Restaurant

I beautiful sustainable restaurant I ate at while in Vancouver.

It was waterside and every plate was a peice of art.

C Restaurant also had really delicious sourdough bread served with creamed butter and sprinkled with sea salt.

It was pretty much heaven.

I See Vancouver

You did good Vancouver. You did good.

Photoshop Faux Pas

Excuse my Lazy blogging this week. A post with lots of photos tomorrow.

I just tweeted about this but for those of you not on Twitter…

Warning: 10 Deadly Post Processing Sins

by Natalie Norton

And please for the love of us trying to keep face, FOLLOW IT.

(AND as long as you love what you do how you shoot and how you choose to edit, and are happy….well then just keep being happy. Art is subjective. I know that…I am just agreeing for my sake with her, that doesn’t mean everyone has to agree with us….even though you should. HA!)

I keep wanting to make every “professional” photographer share unedited, raw, strait out of the camera images. That would be the most fair assessment of skill and experience for clients.

Maybe I will do a more in depth post on this later..could be interesting.

Published In Eliza’s Winter Issue

This Janet Jackson inspired shoot took me back to the 90’s..a ninth grade dance company concert to be exact.

Who doesn’t love to photograph hair flips?

Thanks to Eliza for featuring my work and thanks to team “Julio” for protecting me from oncoming traffic as I shot.
