It's been a while since I've updated my blog.  I've been busy shooting though.  I just updated my gallery with lots and lots of cool new photos.  I've also been working on a e-magazine.  Eventually, all my photography will be put somewhere.  Right now it's hanging in quite a few location in the form of prints.  This e-magazine is my way to work on different formats that might work for a book.  I'm focusing on underwater shoots and making the rain come.

If you'd like to stay updated with my shoots, check out my flickr page.  Until then, I'll be shooting more and making it rain.

 

An unexpected find on my last trip to Payson was a burnt forest.  It's a relatively small part of the forest that was burnt, but the texture and bleakness was amazing.  Apparently the fire almost consumed a neighborhood of homes up there, but fortunately it was contained.  The little pieces of trees sticking out of the ground were like little fingers reaching up.  It reminded me of the final circle of hell as described in Dante's Inferno where the worst sinners were frozen in ice up their necks and satan in the center of it all flapping his wings.  The weather on this particular day was pretty cold, but Ashley bared through it to shoot some cool shots.  Below are the shots of Ashley in the Forest of the Dead:

A few weeks ago I went to Payson with Shantia and Ashley.  It was a bit cold, but the photos still turned out awesome.  These shots were done at an old fairly dry creek.  I found it by accident while trying to follow directions to a waterfall.  The way rock, tree, and sun intersect at this location, it brings a smile to my face.

Usually I post my photo blogs in the order I shoot, but I've skipped over a few because this last shoot really inspired me.  It didn't really start with a plan.  Jezebelle came over to shoot and we had shot the previous week in a robot theme.  I'm still working on those photos since they are more about photo manipulation and collages.  This set started with a silver jacket Jezebelle had found in her car that she had forgotten she had.  I saw it and I thought it was awesome.  And what started with one thing, that we each started contributing ideas to until it snowballed into an awesome shoot.  In case you're wondering, she's not wearing glasses or goggles of any kind.
