No title 2008-05-07 16:16:44 Sunday my aunt and uncle came over for dinner. After eating I took some photos of their kids. I like these photos, I really do. The contrast is nice, the expressions are genuine, the photos are sharp (and the ones that aren’t have an “unsharp quality”). But I do have a problem. These photos, they’re [...]
Good Night & Good Luck 2008-05-05 17:42:56 I watched Good Night
& Good Luck
a few days ago and decided to do a black & white redesign of Love City. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I keep finding myself going just to check it out & to see if I can make anything better.
Yesterday I found these photos of [...]
Experiments 2008-05-03 14:53:14 In the last few days I’ve been experimenting with HDR and panoramic photography.
HDR is short for High Dynamic Range Imaging. It works by combining multiple images that have been exposed for different amounts of time. Those images are then combined into a singe image. The final image has been adjusted to include the highlights of [...]
It’s in the eyes. 2008-05-01 11:40:46 So I was looking through my old photos, looking for something to post and I noticed this picture of my dog Puck. I played with the photo a bit, but the whole time I was thinking that it reminded me of something.
Is it me or do Puck and Trace have the same expression?
Choices 2008-04-28 20:34:22 After the shutter is pressed there are many different ways to process one photo. Black & white, color, crop, the list goes on.
Working with my photography I often create more then one image from the same photo. It’s interesting for me to see the different possibilities for each image. It helps me choose the best [...]
Bruce in Jordan 2008-04-26 13:35:31 My main man Bruce
Call left for Jordan
early this morning. Last time he was there he started a blog called bruce-in-jordan.blogspot.com. It was real good and I’m excited for him to start adding new content.
The best part of him going to the Middle East is that he comes back with a (slight) tan. A [...]
Flower Thoughts 2008-05-13 08:49:02 So looking at this photo I had all these thoughts about it, but I couldn’t seem to fit them into much of a post. So instead of pushing my feeble writing skills to the x-treme limit this post is going to be bullets.
I like this photo, but I don’t know why. It’s a more complicated [...]
Alex Probert 2008-05-15 10:19:47 I started going through some old photos last week and found this one. It was taken my junior year of high school when I was on the yearbook photography staff. There is a more journalistic style that my recent work hasn’t really had.
Jason 182 2008-05-18 09:05:53 On my computer I have a folder called “blink”, it’s a folder filled with the photos that I have of people blinking. Most of the pictures are kind of weird and not really worth the mention. The photos of Jason
though, in every one he has a normal expression from the nose down. Eerie.
I’m [...]
Lakeview Carwash 2008-05-20 12:01:16 Lately I’ve been trying to keep my camera with me. I’m not sure how other people do it, but I’m sort of getting sick of it. I’m too worried about it getting stolen or damaged from the heat.
So this is Trace talking to his little sister.
I think I’m going to learn to caption photos AP [...]
No title 2008-05-22 18:23:34 I try to hold off posting photos that I’ve just taken. It usually takes me about a week in post processing to finalize a picture that I like.
It’s not that I every day I go back and play with a picture, but it usually takes a week for me to get some perspective on [...]
Colour 2008-05-25 21:47:13 I think that I’m a black & white photographer at heart. I never know quite what to do with color.
Sort of a lame Polariod thing going on here. Read more:Colour
Charlotte Tanner 2008-05-27 15:09:31 I asked Char Tanner
to come to my studio yesterday. While editing the photos I thought it would be interesting to see the steps I took in post to create the final photo.
The image to the left is the .raw photo, in the middle is the animation and the right is the final. Read more:Charlotte
Business Cards 2008-06-04 17:05:42 It’s recently come to my attention that I might benefit from having a business card. I’ve been working on some designs, but haven’t quite gotten anything I liked. (Assume that relevant information would be on the back of cards that don’t show it, also borders are only to separate from the background and not in [...] Read more:Business

Ellie 2008-06-06 20:20:52 Lately I’ve made it a point to bring my camera with me wherever I go. At a recent family gathering my cousin spotted me, camera in hand and started having A LOT of fun on the rocking horse.
I’m a little embarrassed to admit, but the last photo is my favorite. It has [...] Read more:Ellie
Found 2008-06-09 15:23:23 I took this during a day when Trace and I were driving around looking for something to get to skate. Nothing was really happening and we never got into it. I was also trying to take some pictures but I couldn’t get that done ether. Just wasn’t feeling it.
Sometimes I just have to give it [...]
Along the same vein 2008-06-11 12:07:38 I don’t really consider the photos I take of Trace “skate photos” because most skate photos have some action. Or any action.
I guess if I had to classify them I’d say they were “Lifestyle”.
Hey Trace, how about some encouragement? 2008-06-12 09:26:45 Just kidding. I didn’t post any ollie pictures because I wasn’t stoked on them. To be fair though, we only skated that spot for a short time and part of that time I was skating.
And it’s not like I haven’t been trying to set up some Funky-Fresh Night Sessions.
(Or at least set up [...] Read more:Trace
Emily Ojuka 2008-06-13 16:12:55 Lately I’ve been more proactive about getting my friends into my studio. It’s fun for me because I get to try new things with a friendly audience and I get a chance to talk to people I might not see otherwise. Read more:Emily
Body of work 2008-06-23 15:47:07 I was thinking about some newer style photography yesterday and thought it’d be fun to make a triptych of myself. I could never quite get into it though, I kept doing things like try to go to sleep and watch Will & Grace.
I just lost my train of thought.
On a roll 2008-06-20 14:07:26 I shot this on my skateboard a couple of nights ago. When I’m shooting action pictures like this I usually just put my camera to the ground and try to keep it steady. The real trick is skating backwards.
Blair Johnson 2008-07-02 18:45:11 I’m starting to like to color I’m getting. I still have a long way to go, but I think I’m finding a place that I like. Read more:Blair
