drinking + friends + photography = ?

happy st. patrick’s day everyone!

in honor of one of the biggest drinking days of the year, i decided to share some studio shot i did a few months back.

shooting on green, i did a few sessions with jay and elle.

jay’s turned into a mock-pseudo-sierra nevada ad (only because we were drinking my favorite beer, and i decided to photograph jay).

and elle’s just turned out weird.  i was playing around with lighting and color.

so i’m not really sure what to make of these…

but i’m behind on my goal for producing new images, so… here you go!

raking in ideas

ideas aren’t always easy to come by.

i can sympathize with this truth:  i resolved in january to concept and execute 2 new shots per month to beef up my book.

just an artist trying to exercise my creative muscles.

well, after my first shoot, i got busy and didn’t devote the time and energy needed to keep creating.

but the first key to keeping resolutions is to know how to pick yourself up and persevere after you drop the ball.

so here i am.

elle and i have spent the last few days conceptualizing.  and yesterday, we executed.

more to come soon!

wyoming | winter panoramics

as always, i shot some panoramics while in wyoming.

and i was happy to get some new mountains and landscapes that i haven’t shot previously.

please feel free to click on any of these images to view them larger… enjoy!

the tetons clouded in are still dynamic to me…

the reservoir outside of cody.  completely frozen, and completely beautiful.

again, just a wider view this time…

these cliffs just west of cody, heading toward the east entrance of yellowstone, were my favorite new landscape of the whole three week trip.  they were so dynamic contrasted against the flowing golden grass.

along the wind river, toward the northeast edge of the mountain range by the same name.

ah the tetons!  the clouds finally broke on the second trip through on our way down to telluride.

the tetons from the jackson lake dam, with a frozen jackson lake foreground.

flaming gorge, utah in winter.  not much snow, but even this time of year there are amazing colors.
