The amount of subtleties in the lighting here! I love the way this set came out.

Photography isn’t dead. It’s just trapped under 10,000 reels of people pretending to teach it.

I’ve always wanted to try this concept and it really taught me how much I need to order make sandbags. The wind did me dirty!

I do find it a bit amusing how a lot of us photographers and videographers spend so much money to make our finely tuned and expensive gear create an imperfect image.

Grain, haze, vintage lenses, etc. What feeling are we chasing?

How it started vs. how it’s going.

14 years is a hell of a development time. Show me your early work, don’t be shy :p

Sometimes all you need is a massive window in the studio.

One of these days I’m gonna own a natural light studio. Or I’ll compromise and own a large studio where I can turn a giant scrim into artificial window light, heh.

X100VI is so fun to use, it had me looking up the cost of a GFX 100S II for my work kit. I rather enjoy not having to color grade, ha.

Maybe the real American dream is to leave.

I’m tired. This country seems barreling towards total collapse…all because a part of it can’t accept that people who don’t look like them deserve rights. It’s an insane thing to witness live.

It may be time to plan a move to Europe. Like seriously.

In this content era, I feel that social media has lost all of the ‘social’ and has just become a nonstop bombardment of “trying to sell you something”. It’s tiring, and IMO is why there’s so much burnout in most artistic fields. How are you photographers doing out there?

The photos vs. the setup. Love me a good large scrim. Don’t love transporting them though, ha.

Some looks with Trish.

Really enjoying getting back to my studio work and messing around with new lighting setups!

I’ve been offered a ton of money to do a comedy set aboard the Borg Cube.

Bidding farewell to summer with Sooyo.

I am so in love with this set. I was going through a bit of creative block for most of this year but I’ve been making a conscious effort to produce more personal work and I can slowly feel my mojo coming back.

Congratulations to the Massachusetts RMV service center for being one of few entities to make me lose my temper with a service worker.

How is a state with this much tax revenue allowed to have such an insane level of organizational incompetence when it comes to car/license registration?
