Nice Photo of the Week - Ready Wet Fire

The Idea:
Another from my series of images inspired by the feature film look, Ready Wet Fire was the result of a challenge I gave myself to strip down the elements and still maintain an inference of a story. I wanted to have very little in the way of background to help me tell the story. […]

When you’re a photographer, suitcase space can be more sparse than broccoli at an orthodontist convention, especially with all the props and gear you’ll be bringing to make sure your vacation photo’s don’t suck. Still, if you’re going to bring a book or two, you want to make it a good one. Here are my […]

Going on vacation? A new location can offer inspiration, room to spread your wings, even heretofore impossible opportunities. And you always bring your camera, right? So why not take the extra step and create memorable art instead of just memories.



Nice Photo of the Week - Know Your Job
