Brickel @ Night! Don't forget to look at the other pages too!

Sunday night I traveled down to Brickel Ave. to shoot some night shots, specificially of the Bank of America building (which the previous night had been lit up red). To my utter dismay I came to find that the damn BOA building wasn't lit up, pretty much all was lost. I didn't get any great shots, but here are some of the good ones



The Palm tree, (Inland Winds) bellow left, is a little photoshop job I did on the original. I loved the way the leaves of the palm were blurry from blowing in the wind so i decided to keep only the trunk of the palm not blurry and blur the rest. (Straight bellow) the building which houses the Miami White and Case office. Beginnings and Endings

















The 2nd most annoying thing of that night is a problem with shooting the bridge to the port because there's a very bright white light that screws up the shot, you can see a little haze off camera to the right...sigh. Purple MountainFuture Living. This piece's name is a satire on where someone wants to live it's kinda like wishing he lived on "the top of the reef" haha.

New Pictures from Ft Myers Beach

So these are some of my most recent shots, they're from my little vacation whit my girlfriend and her parents. I didn't get as many good shots as I had hoped I would but it happens. there's always New York City next month! Jimminy Cricket: This little guy was crawling on the railings of the back porch when we got back from the beach on the first day. It was hands down the biggest grasshopper I had ever seen
I feel very strongly like this shot could be out of some fashion magazine, atleast if it weren't for those two random people in the water to the left, but oh well, still a great shot. Footsteps in the Sand
What photographer doesn't love a great sunset, well this one wasn't ideal due to a thunderstorm rolling in from the North East which blocked out alot of the sunset. However I was still able to snap off a few shots. Cotton Candy Skies

Still Life Day!

Hockey has kinda always been a pretty big part of my life although I stopped playing it for awhile. I've been wanted to do so nice macro shots of some of my equiptment so I figured why not start with my skates: At Rest Lomo
When I was a kid my dad found this goat skull at his work it was sunbleached and just sitting idle in a field. Due to the fact that I have never been a truly "normal" kid he found it a good idea to grab it and bring it home to me. Since then I've taken the liberty of making the skull into a psuedo-art project by pouring melted wax all over it, making it appear as if the candle were melted on it: Candles in the Night
Here's the shot of my Skates that I think is the best: Airing Out (if anyone knows hockey equiptment they'll understand the title)
Here's a shot of the palate of the Goat skull, this was shot with flash, and candle light under a long exposure which gives the color differences between the warm and cold colours: Grazing
