The Photographer's Perspective
Imagine we’re taking a stroll with our cameras and pass a construction site. Typically, photographers aren’t interested in construction, but this particular build catches our eye because of a certain photogenic object in the middle of all the silent machines and piles of dirt: a rusty old truck. It’s adorable. Its surroundings are anything but adorable. Weeds and even turkeys have overtaken the field, and a few dumpsters further obstruct the view. Whichever way we shoot, it seems we’ll run into something ugly.

Mistakes Beginner Filmmakers (and Photographers) Make...#4
Lighting for video takes some skill. It’s not an easy task. It took me a while to figure out what looks right, what looks natural, and what the heck I actually wanted when I was given a script or wrote my own script with specific settings.

Fundamentals of Photography
We are creatures driven by an impulse to try something new. While some individuals strive to change their routines by practicing a new habit, many others step outside their comfort zones to learn something new. In my case, photography is the result of that impulse to try something new. After some years of emerging myself in photography, I now see it as a unique art form where perspective, scenery, composition, lighting, and expression allow for a myriad of interpretations of the world.

The Art of Teaching Art
There are many photos that take your breath away. This happens to be one of them for me. Sometimes, it becomes impossible for a camera to see what you see. And sometimes, it becomes impossible for others to do the same. Just like a camera, we have our own lenses, our own points of view, and our own visions of what we hope others can capture by the photos we present.

How COVID-19 Has Affected My Photography Practice. Third Place in Better Days Challenge. Top Story - May 2020.
Like most photographers, COVID-19 has had a profound effect on my business and my creative outlet. Of course, jobs are harder to come by, a recession is looming, and there are some jobs I’m just physically unable to take on, but my photography practice has also changed far beyond these inconveniences.

Mistakes Beginner Filmmakers (and Photographers) Make... #3
Lighting is key (no pun intended) to having great photos and videos. If you have no light, then all you’re going to see is darkness. The camera doesn't see light like we do. What you may think is too much light might not even be enough to get the look you want in your shot; and the most common thing I hear from people (and sometimes myself) is “I’ll fix it in post.”

35mm FAIL or GEM
FILM PHOTOGRAPHY About two years ago I decided to start taking film photos. I had only ever used digital and was way out of my depth. It was a new and exciting journey, so I went to a second had film store in Seattle and asked the man in the store more questions then he probably wanted to answer. I was so excited to learn every new thing I could. When I had finally picked a new camera and had enough film for the weekend, I met up with my best friend and snapped this photo above.
