Sleepy vikings band photo shoot

I recently photographed my friends band. Even though I don't photograph this stuff often I did enjoy doing it. Here are two samples of the images.

Hanging above you

If you just look up sometime....you might find a collection of shoes.


my inspiration

comes from many artist, but one in particular is cindy sherman. Although I haven't done much of this...I wanted to make an atempt in recreating something that she did in her "film series" It's not as great as her work, but I was pleased to evoke some emotion to this photograph. It only took one shot and this is it. The title of this photo is called "scared" and i think it reflects who i am inside.

The final road to my camera

So these are my final shots from my camera...after its life ended. I've had this camera for 5 years. I'll have to wait until i get some extra money and buy a new one. These shots were taken at a local bar in my town. Its really hard to take photos in a dark bar...need to get a flash one day...but first i need a camera.

Driving in the late night hours

I love to see the different lights that appear after sundown. I was trying to get the lighting that night..but we were too busy in getting home from our long drive on the turnpike. Here is a collage of our trip back home after midnight.

These images remind me of David Lynch "lost highway"

A rainy day at the coffee shop

This is one of my favorite coffee shops in Orlando. The decor is old and run down..but it adds a nice touch to the feel. When I get bored...I just start taking photos of whats around me. As you can tell i haven't done much concept photography..and more shooting at random things. This really has helped me to improve on composition and better understanding about the enviroment I'm in.

The booth

My gf and I had some fun in the photo booth. I want to do a nice collage of us in the photo booth. This is our little attempt in being silly, sexual and cute inside the booth. I love the quality of the photos...they add a nice vintage touch to the images.

The ocean in movement

As i was standing still by the shore...i noticed the sand was shifting into different shapes. I wanted to captured a few series with this..and here is a little sample.


The Flying bird


I've never taken much interest in photographing birds. I was amused this day by this one particular bird. It was flying above us...in a circle...waiting for the right moment to land near us. The skies were crystal blue and the water was warm. These images were not photoshope.

such a quitter

today i woke and i realzied that everything I was trying to do..I failed. not because i wasn't good at it but because I quit at one point due to lack of confidence. Today i struggle with it but in a slighty different way. I recognize it...so i'm tyring to stop my self from quitting.




on another note.....I've been in my own little world once again. photographing birds, trees, silly little things that i feel inspired at the moment.






I also like being the passenger sometimes and having my camera with me...I feel like everytime im in the car i see things different thru the car window. There is beauty in every street corner...and so this is my journey in the passenger seat.

When the world sleeps

Here is a video project I did for a band called "when the world sleeps" I gathered up a ton of vintage video clips and made a storyline. Its actually hard to make this kind of work....you are basically working with what you got...which means you are limited.
