This one is also a business card, for myself this time. Hope you enjoy:

Local Honey Fall Fashion Weekend

Here's a couple runway shots from Local Honey's Fall Fashion Weekend. It had live music, fashion, drink; all in all a good time (even though it very nearly got rained out). But enough words, check out the pics:

Ocean is Theory Show Pics

Here are a few photos I took of Ocean Is Theory at The End, a small local indie dive. I think they have a gritty, intense look about them. I thought black and white was fitting for this set; it just gave a better feel to me than color.











Technical Notes:
The End was dark. Real dark. Camera setting-wise, I was really pushing it. I shot with my 85mm 1.8 opened up all the way, and most of the photos were shot ISO 6400. I'm comfortable shooting that f-stop, but I would have preferred a smaller ISO for less noisy photos. But I couldn't back off my shutter speed (around 200-400) without sacrificing sharpness. So, I worked with what I had, and don't regret it. Even if the conditions are less than ideal, you can still make decent photos. It's more about artistic vision than technical settings.

So, ...

So, lately, I've been working on a whole ton of stuff. I've had a few shoots, and I've been shooting on my own a lot. I've even been revisiting older pictures that I never got around to sharing. I guess I'll start there, and I'll try to make this a series of posts.
These I took in California last summer, almost a year ago:
