Vonetta + Rustin Wedding
It’s wedding season again, and while many photographers will be running for the hills (to shoot landscape photography or something easy like that), I get extremely excited, knowing I get to start capturing a couple’s special day. This year is looking busier than the years passed, but whenever you can get wedding season to start [...]
Episode 20 – Jon Betts
Tap into the mind of Jon Betts and find out how he achieves the kind of work that helped me discover my own appstract photography voice.

Last Tangle
Every time I see a photo of myself, my immediate reaction is to check to see how my hair looks. I’m so critical of my appearance in photos that I hardly allow myself to be photographed. “I prefer to be behind the camera, not in front of it,” I say, as if that’s the first [...]

A Few Words About the 2012 Warrior Games
I already spent a few minutes rambling about this on my latest podcast episode, but I can’t seem to shake the past two weeks in Colorado Springs at the 2012 Warrior Games.

What Am I Doing? [4.23]
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, but since I can only assume not everyone who listens to the podcast (which you can download on iTunes, BTW) reads the blog, and not everyone who reads the blog listens to the podcast, I might be missing out on updating everyone how I’m doing. [...]
I Am Onofre, And So Can You!
It all started because of Lady Gaga and boredom. I sort of wish I was joking, but I’m really not. I referenced this in my recent podcast episode, but here’s the deal: I was trying to figure out how to update my Twitter avatar and couldn’t think of anything original to do. I wanted something [...]

Stealing From My Peers
I’ve made the conscious decision to steal from my friends and creative peers. I’ve done the research and, perhaps to the dismay of my fellow photographers, there are no criminal repercussions for my planned actions, so you’re just going to have to deal with it. I’m sorry for not being sorry.

They say “good artists copy, great artists steal.” If that’s the case, call me a thief.

Photowalk: Balboa Park
I haven’t written a blog post in a while, and that’s fine. However, I did think that posting fun pictures of excursions I’ve taken would be a good idea instead of posting them randomly on Flickr or Twitter or Da Bookface. I mean, I do call myself a “photographer”, after all. So what’s the point [...]
