Driving At Night with Wet Eyes

So I finally went out last night with the intention of trying to get something interesting of the lake with the city in the background. Amy and I had napped from about 7:30-11:30 so i was wide awake at 3 when we decided to go for a walk.

My wireless shutter release was broken, but fortunately the ambient lighting from the streets provided some interesting harshness and textures in the concrete, and enough light that i didn't need to shoot for more than 30 seconds.

I love the lake, definitely what i will miss most when we leave here.

In other news, well there really isn't much other news. I'm still looking for a gallery to show my Landscapes and Erotica in, so if anyone has any suggestions that would be great.

Also had somebody suggest I do a landscapes workshop in Harrisburg, and I'm definitely considering it. I'm actually really good at teaching people how to get great landscapes regardless of what kind of equipment they are using, just ask Laura. Plus I think it would be pretty refreshing to teach a class outside of the studio for once.

Surprise Stop

So today was pretty awesome. I woke up to find out I was gonna make about 235 Euros for not all that much work. Then a few minutes later I got messages about having images published in Bizarre Magazine (one of the biggest fetish publications) and a paper in NYC not sure which one yet, but regardless images have been sent out.

Thus far i've spent most of the date rapidly editing files for publication. In one day I finished stuff for 5 websites and 2 print based medias...also got three orders in for a limited run I'm doing of Zui Suicide...you may know her from Paris Hiltons my New BFF season one on MTV, and another person signed up for the workshop on the 21st in NYC. With all that done i'm gonna relax and check out the sunset over the lake again, which as usual will probably be gorgeous.

Major Turn

so the trip is over...we sucked at updating...and now i'm living in chicago

but i still travel consistently, so there will be more updates coming as time goes by and probably more frequently.

Amy (of vaunt designs) and i just got back from a trip to detroit. I shot a set for zivity with vivka and a friend in howell from MM. Then went and visited family in grand haven.

This is what my grand parents get to see everyday of their life...its pretty ludicrous that somebodies front yard could be so pretty

Somebody told me this weekend that i've progressed as a photographer the opposite way most do. I got into shooting fashion, nudes, erotica first, and have just recently become really interested in landscapes. I suppose they are correct.

in other news i got a job today shooting for a website in spain a couple times a month. I'm getting paid in Euro's that is pretty exciting.
