Making a bird cage yesterday afternoon with my girlfriend Tricia. The total materials cost was about $30. Photographing this, I wanted a purely objective view and decided not to move the camera the whole time, taking pictures every two minutes.
After much deliberation I have decided to publish a blog. Call me futuristic or a techie, but I feel it will be good for updates and news on whats going on in a certain sector and people of the world that are not usually visually shown to the world.
This is my first entry. Blair Giess is an amazing lifeguard, student, surfer from San Diego. He and I got the chance to surf and shoot at a place in La Jolla by our selves. This is a take from early March.
I was born and raised in San Diego, California and began shooting
photographs with my dads old Canon AE-1 back in grade school.
From then on my passion became making photos that compel
people into appreciating the natural environment on earth to its
full beauty. I started attending Brooks Institute of Photography in
March of 2006. While at school I signed a contract with then
Blue Edge Outdoor Adventure Magazine and began my work
there on various features and editorials and even tried my hand
at selling some advertising space for the magazine. While shooting
and working with Blue Edge on the side, I filled a position at
Ventura Surf Shop to set up and manage a web based retail store.
From there I have completed a two month internship with one of
San Diego's finest Real-Estate photographers (Brent Haywood
Photography). There I was taught the art of shooting high end
homes. In March of 2009 in received my Bachelors Degree in
Visual Journalism at Brooks Institute and am looking forward
to capturing, documenting and illustrating everything you need.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you have
about my photography.
