Photo of the Day: Stormy Weather

Road Trip Photo

Took this while driving down from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Playing around with the settings of the Fuji xpro-1 and 23mm 1.4 Fuji Lens.

New Beginnings and New Inspirations?

Just transplanted myself from Los Angeles to San Francisco. I never thought it would happen so soon but here I am! Maybe I’ll get some new inspiration, I sorely need some. I haven’t explored much of the city yet since I just started work and barely got settled down the day before but I plan on making a destination spot stops this weekend. I’m thinking Golden Gate again?

Back to my Blog!

After what I consider probably the toughest quarter I’ve had in sometime, I’m back! I have to admit using Instagram has really pushed me away from updating this blog more often than not. I didn’t do much photography the last few months but just last week I got to do something I’ve never done before! I had the opportunity to get on a helicopter and photograph Orange County! Did I mention I’m scared of heights?It actually wasn’t so bad, sure it was cold and windy but from thousands of feet in the air you don’t get that perspective of going 95mph+, it feels as if you are just cruising around at a gentle 35 mph. Photographing in a helicopter is much harder than I imagined it would be, you could compare it to photographing in a car going on the freeway at the same speed. Here are some tidbids from my trip. Thanks to Edwin for inviting me and thank you to Anaheim Helicopters for a wonderful experience! You can find them here on yelp:

Another Beautiful Day @ Griffith Observatory

What a way to see LA. Favorite spot never gets old.

Both classes got cancelled this week. Time for fresh air! What a beautiful day it was. The past half dozen time’s I’ve gone its never been this clear. Hopefully I’ll have time to upload the night shot later. Enjoy!

Grass is Always Greener Somewhere Else

Picked up some Pocket Wizards on Craigslist today. Had a photoshoot at night with them and they worked very well. The guy who we bought them from told us about this location just 2 or 3 miles away. Wow, this place was amazing. Where I live, it was cloudy, ugly and raining and here it was paradise, minus the 50mph which was pretty awesome; not everyday you see people get knocked over by the wind (seriously). More to come from this shoot.

Remember

*Yesterday I lost a friend and fellow photographer. I just want to take a moment to give a my condolences to the Young family and Tina. Vincent will be dearly missed by many and my heart goes out to his family and those closest to him. Vincent, I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to call you earlier, I can’t believe it, I love you and may you rest in peace.*

I remember you once told me you made your own switch for your camera; funny thing was I was thinking about making one because I needed one last week. Good thinking Vince.
