New Things

It's been a long time since I've posted. I've been dealing with a lot of stuff, but I'm back to shooting and it feels good. I made some really nice images of the American River near Lake Tahoe last week, and a good friend suggested another series for me to work on, which I've started. More on that later, soon, I promise, when I have more material to release.

I found this river location by a campsite on Highway 50 by chance, and I spent about an hour and a half there as the sun went down. I didn't venture out into the river, and walking on the rocks next to the river got a little dicey with the camera gear in tow, but it all worked out. I'm really happy with what I brought back from this shoot.

One of the new things for me that I started working on is also shooting people. I spent four days last month in the Monterey area shooting one person, and while it was supposed to be fun and just for a few hours a day, they turned into all day shoots consisting of nearly 1,000 images where only about 20 were usable for what was intended. It was work, but it was also an awesome experience.

I'm going to start photographing people in various areas: weddings, portraits, senior portraits and events. I'm not walking away from fine art photography, but I'm adding to what I do.
