White Rock Lake

Dallas is boring. White Rock Lake doubly so. I took some pictures though while out there a few weeks back.

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.

I’m gonna do another weekly/bi-weekly bit for the blog and start posting playlists of whatever I’m listening to for the current week. Here’s list number one.

Untitled by Randy P. Martin

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.

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.

Brought out the red nylon to play…

Thinking of expanding this idea…

Stopped off the road on the way back…the new highway really struck me in contrast with the desolate landscape. Going to see about exploring this place more too. So many pictures, so little time…

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.

Ashley and some crops

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

Nothing too extravagant for this shoot. Just getting back into the groove of things…

Put my SB600 to work here using a new modifier I got, an umbrella softbox.

Also tried using one of the Venetian masks I got from Italy in some shots. Again, nothing extravagant.

A nifty fashion photo series by Aaron McPolin on Behance – my favorite image from the set.
