Church of Christ

Church of Christ

The Church of Christ near where we live.

Robert, Microphone

Robert, Microphone

Robert with an amazing carbon ribbon microphone we have at work. (I’m more pleased with this image than I have been with any of my other work in a long time.)

Dad & Carter

Dad & Carter

My dad and my little half-brother Carter at our first house (duplex, really) shortly after we were married. I can’t remember why they came to town, but we shot this just before they headed back to Sugar Land. It’s an absolutely horrible negative, but that’s what Photoshop is for.

Gruene Hall

Gruene Hall

This shot has probably been done before (and I’ll shoot it again… not perfectly centered), but I just love this dance hall’s interior.

Trap Door

Trap Door

This is the first pinhole I took with the Santa Barbara 75mm pinhole I got last year. It was taken up at school (while I was still a student) with a trap door to the roof of the art building, where much of my Musician series was shot. Oh, and it’s a self portrait.

Mules or Donkeys?

Mules or Donkeys?

I know a simple Google search would yield an answer, but I’m cold and in a hurry, so what are these? Mules or Donkeys? Or is there even a difference?

Triptych Part 3

Triptych Part 3

The final part of the triptych with model, incredible photographer, and co-worker Polly Chandler. Again, using the bad Polaroid 59.

You can now see all three images as a triptych. The full image is 1600×900 and roughly 155k.

Triptych Part 1

Part 2 in the series. This is my friend from work, Robert Igo. Part 1 can be seen here.

Triptych Part 1

Triptych Part 1

What do you get when you mix three creative individuals with a background in photography, a bad (free) box of Polaroid 59, studio lights and nothing to do? Well, we’ll start with this self-portrait. There are two other parts to the triptych, but I hadn’t had time to edit them before we left for Dallas for Christmas. Hopefully I’ll get them all up before long. Merry Christmas!
