Empty Beds and Shallow Graves – A Botanical Holocaust

This is a greenhouse that appears to have been abandoned in mid production. As if the people evaporated.                                                                       Thanks for watching...

Unmade Bed

Here is a natural light picture of my unmade bed. It is my take on the Imogen Cunningham (1957) picture (pictured second). I thought it would be interesting to make a low key image to contrast with the largely light toned bedclothes in her picture. I used a high corner perspective to increase the sense of missing bodies. I like her use of objects on the bed obviously...

Kino Flo lights are done!

I have been building my own fluorescent lights for headshots, portraits, and video. After a few weeks of research, and a lot of drilling, painting, and tapping threads, I am done. The lights can handle very high shutter speeds with no shift in exposure. They are flicker-free. I built four of them which allows me to do most setups for portraits and headshots. Now, I just...

I usually do my work in 400 dpi which gives me a little breathing room for print applications. I do not take credit for the photograph of the beautiful asian girls, or the water texture on the Arena logo. The rest is original....

Design Project – Aegis from Persona 3

Here is a design project I did today. Aegis (Aigis, or アイギス), from the Shin Megami Tensei game Persona 3, hovers in a portal of the Arcana representing the different types of Persona. I don’t know how a robot can be sexy, but Aegis pulls it off just fine! Email me if you would like the high res file. I will send it to you. The cards and figure are not my art...
