Muted Christmas Dream

I came by this land scape walking through kit Carson park in Escondido, ca.

1 I hate landscaps
2 I love Salvador Dali
3 it's time to be creative with landscapes

So these are my thoughts on what I've created here and what went through my mind

This shot is just col a complete accident i left the shutter open too long but it came out kinda cool

San Francisco, May 2011

Another shot from San Francisco last may.  This was a fun shot I know I have been down on my work with my camera lately but i like this shot.

Spirits at Bioluminescent TIde post 2

Spirits at Bioluminescent TIde

Late September the red ide in san diego led to a spectacular light show with the bioluminescent plankton lighting up the waves.  While my attempts to capture the waves themselves were wildly unsuccessful these shots of people enjoying the sights were great.

Americana: Fear an Loathing in the American West Video

I made this years ago set to Tom Waits's house were nobody lives take a look tell me what you think

Moonlight beach Oct 2011

What may possibly be the final lay out on tge beach trip of 2011 was an amazing beautiful day.

Iron Fist

Went to iron fist brewery last weekend. I love this place and their beers. A little different for San Diego county. Let's if Belgium style ales.

The people here are always very friendly and often in weekends they bring local food trucks in to serve food while you drink the beer.

Thy Self and Father on the Cross

I shot this simply because it was too weird seeing my initials at the center of the cross.  Message from god? I dont know really I had had a few glasses of wine at this point.

Grapes

I am never sure when i use random what will happen with hipstamatic. This shot came out really well personally i love the lens flare

Vineyard Sunrise

Early September grape harvest at Sunrise Vineyards in Escondido Ca.  Shot with the hipstamatic on the iPhone lens: lucifer vi, film: blanko

This was a lot of hard work but at the same time it was a a ton of fun.  Not to mention a beautiful location,  I truly wish i had remembered to bring my camera on this trip but i think i got great result from the . Check out Grape Harvest Photos For a slide show of the rest of the shots from this event.

Ok every one nothing great to say about this one I just like it, good night

Sea Scape: Abstract 1 and 2; Catalina Island California

Sea Scape Abstract 1; Catalina Island California

Abstract 1: While on a weekend camping trip to Catalina Island at the end of August i decided to try a new take on a sea scape. The Fist done with large f-stop and shutter open for 1/2 second, gave the blurring effect.  The blue is near true to color but is upped in Light-room.  The opacity comes from the use of polarizer.

Sea Scape: Abstract  2; Catalina Island California

Abstract 2: the opposite done with shutter @ 1/160 th of a second and 5.6 f-stop.

Overall Trying a different take on ocean scape photography.  I love the ocean and i love the sea shore but its time something new was attempted.  I think these are somewhat successful and may follow up with other ocean locations.

Spirits 2

So another Addition to my spirits series.  I like the idea of a figure behind something obscuring.  I am trying to creat a mystical spirit look looking into the idea of lost souls.

Dali

A month or so ago we went to the opening of the spanish masters exhibit at the san diego county museum of arts.  This was a fun event music cocktails and wonderful art.  While i was there i decided to pay tribute to my favorite Spanish master Salvador Dali.

These shots were taken not so much in the style of Dali but in the spirit.  Using the Dali lens and film in the hipstamatic iPhone app i created these strange and surreal images of an art opening.

I owe a lot to Salvador Dali in my inspiration and life.  His art is one of the reasons i started using my talent to create art and not simple drawings.

Snails

Snails.  I am very fond of snails, I think they are very interesting little creatures.  These guys were all hanging out on the same tree one afternoon in August.

Live Circus

I know its late but I find myself awake and listening to music.  Mostly I cannot sleep tonight because I have got a ton of ideas running through my head and felt i should put them on paper or hard disk before i fall asleep and forget them.  


However, while writing an email to my bosses and listening to some Tom Waits the song Live Circus a lyric fit perfectly with this image, and got me thinking about trying to shoot some more to go along with this song


So while I write this i find myself thinking what other inspiration might my iTunes have form me????  This you all for checking this out and expect new great things to come, ideas are pouring in. Also, i must thank you Mr. Waits for years of musical enjoyment and inspiration. 

Balloons

Just an extremely fun shot of these balls that you are supposed to walk around on in water.  it would be extremely fun with some models in these.
