09.02.10 White Rock Lake
Dallas is boring. White Rock Lake doubly so. I took some pictures though while out there a few weeks back.
08.29.10 From northwest to far east
This summer has been surprisingly busy, moreso than the last, and I still find myself with a variety of tasks in need of completion – the final edits to Italy photos, uploading photos from some portrait shoots, and preparations for Hong Kong, where I’ll be living and studying for 10 weeks. Currently I’m in Portland, was recently in Eugene, and fly back to Texas on Tuesday.
Life is busy. While last summer I didn’t accomplish or partake in much due to sheer laziness, now it seems I’ve been getting behind on the to-do list because there’s so much that needs action. It is a much better circumstance though – idle hands, idle mind, or however that saying goes.
I’ll have some more substantial updates in due time. For now, I apologize, for there are some evil exes for me and my bro to beat in the Scott Pilgrim video game.

08.17.10 Untitled by Randy P. Martin on Flickr
Randy is an Austin native, and has a thematically compelling photostream of the human experience. Lots of it is like the above, with a lone figure enveloped by a grandoise backdrop of raw landscape. Other shots are more intimate, like feet at rest on a train car windowsill. All of it is beautiful, and I’m not surprised that he’s a rather popular Flickrite to boot.

08.13.10 Hannah
Once I got the itch to take portraits again, I did some brief scouting of a spot I had used last summer – an undeveloped subdivision in McKinney. Wasn’t sure if it’d still be just as untouched as it had been, and luckily, it was. Shooting here as much as possible while I can, to say the least. Took some portraits of Hannah to start.

Untitled by Tamara Lichtenstein
I was recently introduced to the work of Tamara Lichtenstein. Pretty cool combination of gritty film with beautiful light and beautiful women. Keep up with her photostream here.

Went to the same spot from the ‘Series of crops’ post, this time to do some portraits with Ashley.
