Playing around with some guns again. I think this image will look better when I get a chance to add letterbox bars and maybe some texture in the background. Also not completely sure I like the black and white-ness of this. There’s still some tweaking, but I wanted to share.
Have a good weekend.
I’m working on some other new things to share soon, so here’s something from the archives.
What’s funny is that I don’t really remember this time in my life. What’s weird is that, to my eye, I look a whole lot like this.
Workin’ on some other stuff, but I figured I was on a roll.
A buddy of mine was interested in a new twitter icon. I thought we’d try badass for one version.
(As long as your mommy’s around…)
Happy Friday!
This is Jennie Araujo, an UnSafebet. She’s a wedding photographer.
And a model.
And awesome.
I teamed up one afternoon last weekend with Tim Wood to shoot some new images of Jennie. It satisfied everyone on all sides of the camera. I ended up with a few more, but this diptych was my favorite. When Tim and I compared versions (This is his.) after we’d done post, it was cool to see the vastly different directions we’d gone in. I’m looking forward to the collaboration again sometime.
EDIT:
Tim suggests (in the comments) that I add this image to the post. It’s one of my immediate favorites as well. I’m hoping to go through the batch sometime next week.
These are really just test shots but they’re funny.
He’s rarely mad and always smiles.

I had to freelens this one, but I ordered an adapter ring which should get here soon, meaning more macro stuff. Stay tuned.
I had the pleasure of shooting with Joe over at Brainchild Collective to create some new headshots for some of the gang over at Hodges Partnership, a local public relations firm.
Headshots are about making people look their best but occasionally, if you snap enough, you can catch people looking like themselves.
I should say that before I decided to post these, I asked Duncan Phillips and Tony Scida (pronounced “sky-day” according to his twitter handle) if they minded these candid looks. They consented and even smiled about the images themselves.
We had a great time and I think we had some pics that’ll look good on their website.
Duncan Phillips takes a moment to wax poetic.
Tony Scida, a Nikon user, openly scoffs at my use of Canon equipment.
Thanks, guys, for letting me show off some of the funny outtakes!
Periodically the urge to try something different hits me. You know, not always the same digital stuff (although even that’s getting more interesting these days too, thanks to Joe and the little Photoshop tricks he’s been teaching me).
Anyway, it means dusting off the old Olympus Pen EF that a friend gave me some time back. She’d found it in the trash while she was living in Japan and it served her well for a long time. The reason it’s such a neat little box is that it shoots half frame images on 35mm film. This makes it perfect for making diptychs in-camera.
Here are a few I did last week on a cheap test roll. I’m planning on shooting something more like fashion on slower film to see what I get. I have high hopes.
Shot this with my phone camera on my way to get my kids from daycare the other day.
While I wish I’d had a bigger camera and I wish that I wasn’t sitting in my car at a red light and I wish that I could mitigate some of the traffic crossing the road, I find that I love this image.
