My apartment in London
…is ridiculous. Ridiculously good-looking.

Regents Park
Flowers and birds aren’t exactly my favorite subjects, but it was a hot day and I felt like spending the afternoon in a park. So I thought I’d practice getting kind of arty with this stuff. Shall we discuss how hard it is to line up a really small depth of field with a plant Read more…
Welcome to the first day of the next three months.
Here I am in London, so let’s get started. I shot this at the merry-go-round in Kensington Gardens today. Great opportunity to practice panning, and I got very lucky with this one: Portobello Road market this morning–I love scenes like this where the color really comes together: And yesterday, at Paddington station:
505: Complete (for now)
Like 200, this one is done by virtue of the fact that I’m gone and can’t work on it anymore. Had some issues with the gloss/matte mediums that haven’t been problematic before, which I’m sure is due to using lighter paint colors. So I think I will go back and highlight that when I return, Read more…
200: Complete (mostly)
This one is similar to 641 and 407, but unfortunately the numbers themselves are impossible to see straight on… …but they’re there: When I get back from the summer abroad, I may go back and make some adjustments to bring that out–maybe paint the number in a slightly “off” color or something, then go over Read more…

M.E.H.
Last Saturday, out running around with Gabe and Sam in Sam’s neighborhood, we spotted a vintage cosmetics case at an estate sale. The initials: M.E.H. The price: fifteen bucks. What I’ll keep in there: anything I feel “meh” about. Those are vintage airline tickets tied to the top handle.
Photos from Argentina & Uruguay
The two above (and most below) were shot at Recoleta (a cemetary). With the first, I loved how the plants, the living things, were locked in. And the second was shot holding my 100mm lens backwards in front of my camera. Never tried that before but it creates some ethereal artifacts I liked.
What to do with a free Saturday
My Saturday plans were cancelled…what to do with a whole weekend day free? Photo session with Sam, of course. We spent all day setting up lights, recruiting models, and playing with lighting different backgrounds. We also had some great ice cream, though that’s unrelated. These are all my shots of course, except for the one Read more…
