Here is a image that I worked on a little while when I couldn't get out of bed and just recently finished and I figured that I would post it. A kinda salute to the end of the gloomy winter we had. Spring Images to come.

That Day...

2009-03-05T22:59:00.003-06:00

Well here are some images I took the day I broke my back of some people sledding and just some images of some of the trees. If any of you would like to know what happened you could just ask, because I probably will not post it because it would make for a longer post then I would make you read. But there will be some images of what I went through and and what I had to use to move around. But meanwhile, enjoy these!

Recent work...

2009-03-05T22:17:00.004-06:00

ALRIGHT....

2009-03-02T23:09:00.005-06:00

So, I have been absent as some could tell from posting anything up in a while. Well that is because for the last month I have been on bed rest and could not move because I broke my back on a shoot. (But more on that to come) For right now though, I thought I'd give you a preview of the latest event I have shoot which was today. These are just some raw images and more to come later, when I can get caught up and post more.

It's main idea behind it was to show the characteristics of living in a city and being homeless, but using a high fashion feel to contrast itself. It took me three weeks, 10 models, tons of shopping at goodwill, hours of destroying the clothes, but I worked out well, and I was very pleased with the results. I want to take this chance to to thank everybody who helped out in the making of this project in front of the camera and behind, I thank you.
