Levitation Experiment - Take 2

Round two in my levitation experimentation process. 

I know I need more practice but that will never change...!...

These experimental shoots are absolutely amazing for my brain and I can't wait to do more and more.

This is my Japanese Garden shot in honor of my models heritage!

Thanks again Ash for being so into these shoots.

Let's do it again soon:)

Travel... Swan Falls

Randomly loading the truck with photography equipment, two pups, a few changes of clothes, h2o, and some grub then hitting the road is the perfect way to spend a sunny fall afternoon. Here are a few of my favorite photographs that came out of my trip to Swan Falls.

SOBER

This blog post is dedicated to one of my favorite people.

Sarah Ober (aka Sober)

If you haven't check out her blog 'Many Adventures of Sarah' please do. She'll keep you on your toes! 

Sober has been a wonderful friend for the past 6-7 years. Her love and support has given me drive to do better at everything I do. Even though she is 6 years younger than me, I look up to her and respect her fully. One of my favorite things about Sober are the goals that she makes, small and large. Less than a year ago Sober brought up her interests in moving to Germany for a year. Well, this morning she boarded the plane to do just that. I'm going to miss my friend but at the same time I'm so proud that she is 'Making it Happen'! 

Here are a few photographs I made of Sober this past year after finding out she loves being in front of the camera. 

Thank you Sober for all of the good times! Be safe and have fun. See you in Amsterdam, June 2011!

Two Beautiful Women - Continued

These are photographs made during out last re-location down in the Linen District. By this time it had been a little over an hour into our shoot. Everyone was very comfortable and having a lot of fun. All I can say about this shoot is thank God I'm a photographer because I wouldn't miss this for the world! Thank you two for having such great energy. You and people like you make my job absolutely amazing!

Sober OUT!

Two Beautiful Women

Last month I had the great pleasure to work, again, with the most amazing Sarah Ober and our new friend Nicole Velasquez. What a perfect pair for this shoot. We went in only knowing the location and wardrobe but didn't plan much for the shoot. I was lucky enough to arrive at Sarah's house to help the ladies finalize their outfits and also, most importantly I got to watch them interact! The pre-shoot 'organization' if you will was one hell of a good time. Sarah and Nicole have a very fun lovin' relationship. They're both easy going but highly intelligent. They were completely comfortable around each other, almost like they'd known each other their whole lives. After registering this important information we headed toward our location, took the camera out and shot shot shot!!! Thank both of you ladies for the fun experience.

These are a few examples of the first area of our shoot on the shady side of the Linen Building in Boise, Idaho! Click on image to enlarge...

Cemetery & Skulls

This is the second part of my shoot with Amy Schoenfeld. She chose the outfit, I chose the setting. I will tell you that this was an amazing experience to share with my sister-in-law-ish. We not only made beautiful photographs but we took the time to respect those of whom lost their lives for our country who lay rest in the Fort Boise Military Cemetery. What sticks out most in my mind is viewing the numerous amounts of 'Unknown' headstones. I am not a huge fan of war, actually I don't agree with war and or hate in any case but I do support our troops. Scroll on to see what we came up with...
