A photograph is an instrument of love and revelation that must see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live in all things. Ansel Adams

Senior Portraits


I recently had the pleasure of taking some senior pictures for a lovely girl named Jasmin who goes to the High School I graduated from. Here are the favorites that we narrowed the shots down to.

Tattered & Torn Patriotism

This is a photograph I've been working on for many years, trying to find a style of editing that I liked with the content, and I think I've got it. This was a set of flags that were waving in the New York harbor during March of 2007. I've played with this photograph off and on for the last three years, but I enjoy this version the best. 
Take from it what you will.

Manufactured Living

The assignment is "manufactured landscapes"
I sat and thought about it for a long time, and decided that basically all of Boise is a manufactured landscape, and that I didn't really want to photograph any of Boise for the assignment, but couldn't think of anything I really did want to photograph. About that time my dwarf hamster Stella popped into her wheel and started running. And it made me think: her entire life is manufactured. She will never know anything but her cage and the things I give her. And it was perfect for the assignment.

Digital Creations

These are the projects I worked on during my digital photography class last semester. They're not that great, but I managed to get a lot better and learn a good deal in the class, and have a little fun, too.
As with all the pictures on the website you can click on these and see them larger, which many of them look better in a bigger format.

These are most of the film cameras I've collected over the past few years.
