So I recently decided that it was time to dabble in the mirrorless world. A good friend had recently made the jump and advocated for my doing so as well. So, having already been looking into it from a distance... I decided to replace the D7100 as my back-up/daily shooter and primary video camera.... Continue Reading →
Five years later…
Lucky for me, websites don't collect dust; because I hate cleaning. Unfortunately for me, camera equipment does. While I haven't been NOT shooting for the last five years, I haven't been gaining ground quite like I hoped I would. The business hasn't even really existed. I've done some side jobs, few weddings here and there...... Continue Reading →
The Creepy Doll Project. . . .
Alright. So, in every "B" movie horror flick opening where the shots are all stagnant, the dust is an inch thick on piano keys and the light is always swinging so the shadows dance across the frame there is always a creepy doll. I love those shots. So, I have always wanted to do a... Continue Reading →
Getting My Shit Together. . . . more or less. . . .

Stop only offering DVD's and charging for "boudoir blog" subscriptions.... urgggghh!.......... Continue Reading →

Something I had never realized…
And to clarify, this is not a "my photos are so special" kinda post. What I took may very well have been total crap. This isn't a boasting of my personal skills kinda post, though I will cover the technical aspects of the photos. I wanted to put this up because this blog in its... Continue Reading →
Just a thought on zee creation of a wedding album…
Well, after a little more than a month of working on a customer's album when the time permitted; I have finished my first wedding album. It has been a big learning experience about the shooting of a wedding as well. I realized the importance of having a TON of detail shots, they are the fill... Continue Reading →

Has been working over the last probably six years on creating snakes with certain genetic patterning that will create certain types of patterning. In a very short explanation. BioHazard Boas. He has bounced around over the last couple... Continue Reading →
