Hallie Martin a.k.a. Ruby Joule

Good friend and the multitalented Hallie Martin a.k.a. Ruby Joule of The Jigglewatts (Google them… you’ll be happy that you did) came by yesterday and we had a blast. I’m in LOVE with this portrait! There are a few others shots from the shoot that I planning to share with everyone in the next few of days but I wanted this one to have the stage all to it’s self. Thank you so much Hallie for a fun filled and inspiring afternoon.

Salinas Pueblo Missions

We went to Ruidoso a little over two years ago and while there we chose to take several little day trips rather than spend time skiing. One of these trips took us to the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. It was a cold, windy day and while were there it started to snow. For me, it couldn’t get any better than that. I’ve been working on this image ever since the trip. I’ll spend time on it till I loose a sense of where I’m going with it, put it away and come back to it. I’ve repeated those steps several times now but now I feel I’ve achieved what I had in my head.

Long lost Leah

One of the projects that I’m forcing myself to do is the boring ass job of digging through all my hard drive, burning old work to DVD and getting rid of back ups of back ups of backups. In the middle of that I stumbled across this shot of Leah that was from a lighting test. Love it!

Lots of WINE

Matt and I spend all day Monday in a wine cellar photographing auction lots for the 2009 Annual Rare & Fine Wine Auction benefiting The Wine & Food Foundation of Texas. This all takes place during the Annual Texas Hill Country Wine & Food Festival. We shots hundreds of bottles throughout the day and so many of them are stunning pieces of art in their own right and not to mention pretty taste. The auction takes place this Saturday and I wish them great success because they do amazing work in the community with the funds that the raise.

Gabriel Luna

Gabriel is a supper cool guy and an extremely talented actor. I had the chance to photography him a few months back for the first time when it was just the two of us one-one-one. He’s one of those types of people that just get it. And must I point out how adorable of a smile he has.

A Holga in Paris

I pulled this out of a pile of Holga negatives from our trip to Paris a few years ago. It’s totally one of those magic Holga images that are born from forgetting to advance the frame between shots. Looking at this just make me want to shoot with the Holga more and in fact I think that I’m going to load it right now and do just that.

The Faces of Dave

I shot these just under a year ago but I’ve been messing around with them here and there ever since. I really cannot share just one of them because I feel that they’re extremely strong together. I kind of see them as a series of photographs taken during a prison interview of a serial killer just days before going to the chair!
