Darkness into Light
Apr 7th
In addition to Tony’s list, I watched a documentary on portrait and fashion photographer Richard Avedon called Darkness and Light. Here’s a quote from the video that really resonated with how I’ve been approaching photography:
What drives him is this deeper more profound genuine interest in the people that he’s seeking out, in the stories they have to tell, in the life experience they have. He’s interested…the world fascinates him.
The image above was taken in Chinatown, San Francisco, when I arrived way too early one morning.
Beware the Brides of March
Mar 15th
I gotta work on capturing smoke. It just doesn’t look the same in the image above as it did in person.
The lighting in the image above was pretty harsh. I didn’t do much to the photo–just caught her as she walked out of the shadows.
Valentine Frank Chu
Mar 8th
For my non-San Francisco/Oakland friends, this is Frank Chu. I talked to him for the first time and took this picture of him right before the San Francisco Pillow Fight last month. I couldn’t make it this year, but I was there back in 2007. I like how he was wearing a rose for Valentine’s Day.
Cougar Cadet
Mar 6th
Edit: I know Dallas IS a big city, but maybe because they have so much space, they can spread out. Because when I was there, it didn’t FEEL like a big city with hardly any one crowded downtown.
After traveling to Ithaca and Dallas last month, I realized I missed the energy of a big city. Shot this today with Brad and Jeanne at Market and Powell where the Cougar Cadet Drumline was raising support. Oh, and the kids were REALLY good.
