It seems like it’s been a long time since it was Autumn. I’d almost forgotten how nice it is to smell that crisp bite in the air that turns my thoughts to Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the leaves that are just around the bend. Fall has always been my favorite season. There’s something about it that feels peculiarly more present than any other reason. I become more aware of the moment, more aware of the world around me and I enjoy that. …read more

That’s what fire sounds like if you didn’t know. Meagan’s hot! Er… Meagan’s friends are hot! Uh… Meagan’s friends play with fire! Yeah! We took a trip up to the top of Jo’s parking deck to get some quality click time in with Mark and some fire spinners that have worked it all out to a science and an art. You may have heard of poi, a performance art that began in New Zealand – this is like that… BUT IT’S ON FIRE! The artist for …read more

Please walk immediately to your kitchen and eat a cookie if you get the reference. We had the pleasure of heading to a public park in Atlanta to shoot two fantastic models. Though THEY WERE NOT A COUPLE, they had good synergy and worked well together on camera – from their matching outfits to their mad dance steps atop the whirling disk of death that has put an end to the life of many an unwitting child, sending them flying off into the great unknown …read more

As far as can be ascertained, it was Sir John Herschel in a lecture before the Royal Society of London, on March 14, 1839 who made the word “photography” known to the world. But in an article published on February 25 of the same year in a German newspaper called the Vossische Zeitung, Johann von Maedler, a Berlin astronomer, had used the word photography already.[2]The word photography is based on the Greek φῶς (photos) “light” and γραφή (graphé) “representation by means of lines” or “drawing”, together meaning “drawing with light”. Control is important. When I …read more

It takes quite a bit a time to get comfortable working with strobe and having any measure of delicate control. I remember the frustrations of learning to think of the camera’s shutter speed, which normally seems so quick, as a vast span of time when compared to the flicker of a flash bulb. I spent an entire summer vacation in college with exclusive use of one of our school’s strobe kits while classes were out – shot every day, trying out different tricks and watching youtube …read more

Beneath its surface our secrets linger and there within is magic to be found. I have seen my face and those as spirits from my dreams. They bid me remember something I have forgotten – a thing now waiting just below. There are stones beneath my feet and they are cold. I am gently urged toward the sea by all the strength of the rain and the mountain and the forest. It is to that place we all go – by leaf or by storm. …read more

Thursday night was graduation of Season 5 and the initiation of Season SiX (that’d be us). I met some fun and talented people and got to meet Leah and Mark in a working capacity. I can tell the next three months aren’t going to be boring – after getting a chance to say hello to each other and goodbye to those before us, we jumped right into working. I was teamed up with Meagan (she’s great, be sure to check out her blog), but I got a …read more
“Knell” from the series “From Ether”

Aristotle wrote of the aether – the substance that filled the upper sky and the universe above the world. When I was a child, I swam in the sea on a black night when the moon was gone. Adrift on the breadth of the ocean I became aware of myself for the first time that I can remember. I could feel my limbs and my heart and my mind apart from the sea around me – apart from the sand and the monsters that may …read more

Intern Samantha put together a shoot at the Beltline in Atlanta and it was pretty awesome! The Beltline is a former railway line that runs here and there about Atlanta, but it’s been turned into a series of art installations in order to promote green space and draw attention to public transportation in Atlanta – the results are pretty FANTASTIC. Though getting down into the ravine to see the art can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, either involving a bit of walking to …read more
