Just get out of the house.
So often I find myself inside my room with my big monitors just editing photos or recording music, or reading posts about this, that, and the other. Sometimes, you just need to get out of the house and take your camera with you, because you never know what could happen. And that’s what I did today.
I was supposed to shoot downtown today, but the person I was shooting with got invited to...
A Little Birthday Snowboarding
This past weekend my friends and I went up to Breckenridge to do some snowboarding and celebrate my 23rd birthday, yay! Anyways, we didn’t take much gear up on the mountain. Sometimes I like to limit myself and make myself take pictures with specific items. I focus more on seeing the image, and less on my equipment. I took my D2X, my 10.5mm fisheye, and my 70-200. My friend Ira and I...

Something Different
I love portraiture. I love it. But that doesn’t mean it’s the only thing that I shoot. This past weekend I got a job to shoot an event for the Rocky Mountain chapter of the National Black Law Students Association. This isn’t the typical portrait assignment I am used to, but more like a photojournalistic job documenting the event. I had fun and learned some things that my friend Justin Edmonds...
Lets Begin
Welcome. After attending a small get together hosted by the Colorado Strobist Group with corporate photographer David Tejada, he and his assistants convinced me its time start blogging. I have been avoiding it for sometime, but now I plan on keeping you updated with what is going on in my world of photography. So to begin I want to talk about the opportunity I had to hear someone like David Tejada...
