Open your eyes

I’m normally not one for flower shots. You see them everywhere, all the time. Look in any card shop and I promise you 75% of the cards have some generic shot of flowers on them. I’m not saying that this is not a generic flower shot, it may be for all I care, but the point of this was something entirely different from just shooting a flower because it exists and it’s pretty. There’s an area behind my house up in the hills that is like a refuge for me. It’s beautiful. It’s empty. It’s quiet. And it’s enough to remind me that as California gets crammed to the brim of people everyday, there’s still hideaways to be found in your own backyard. This is one of those hideaways.

I'm a junkie

Along with color I’m addicted to contrast. Here’s a pretty good example of my addiction in action. I’ve come to terms with it, and I don’t want help.

Newport Light Love

There’s so much you can do with a camera and a cell phone. This particular night I was sitting in my Jeep in Newport and decided to get creative. I've been loving Kodak 400vc. soooo smooth.

Here comes the sun

Patterns in traffic

I spend a lot of time navigating the veins of Southern California’s freeways at night. I can’t even begin to describe the thoughts and revelations I’ve had while watching traffic lines and listening to music. It’s honestly one of my favorite things. A good album and an empty freeway at night is where I do my best thinking.

Warm Days
