My New Partner in Crime /
I am excited to announce that after years and years of research and saving, I'm finally able to afford an old Leica M6. Haha. I'll post some pics as soon as I get the film developed.

Some lovely graffiti. Shot on color Kodak Portra, but I desaturated because I thought it looked better.

Sutro Baths /
My girlfriend and I had a day off together, so we went to the Sutro Baths. I was experimenting with my Carl Zeiss EF Mount 50mm on an older Canon EOS film camera, on Kodak Portra 160. I like how this turned out.
Imaginary Gun /
My brother is a dope dude. He said this is how he'd blast me.
Around the Apartment /
I was bored this Saturday afternoon, but wasn't feeling well enough to go on a full walk, so I decided to take a few images around my apartment complex.
Going Up or Down /
My buddy showing me around NYC. This image was originally shot in color, but for some reason it resonates with me more in black and white.

SOHO, New York /
Jaywalking in New York is a great way to capture images with deep perspective, just be careful because drivers have the right of way.

Cab Fare, Washington D.C. /
One night, when I was working in Washington D.C., I asked my cab driver to take me where tourist don't usually go. He took me to the Kennedy Center to show me all the "freaky" sculptures outside the center. It was pretty "freaky". Go see for yourself.

Sitting on the Dock of the Bay /
I processed this picture in VSCO and I love the results. It reminds me of the days when I was a photo student in the darkroom, throwing contrast filters into the enlarger, and burning and dodging the heck out of my prints.

Woman at Keith Haring Exhibit /
As I was walking through the exhibit, I noticed this woman standing at the bottom of the triangle. There was a couple to her left, but I photoshopped them out to make the image more about her experience. To add to this idea, I shot at f/2.0 to make Keith's artwork fall out of focus. Keith's work is iconic, and I feel it is recognizable even out of focus.

Street Hoops /
I got to play some ball today, and I took a second to take this picture.
My main concern was to freeze the ball. To do this, I had to up the shutter to 1/400th, which I thought would be a lot less, somewhere around 1/200th. I did not want the image to be too noisy, so I had to balance the aperture and ISO. I chose to shoot at f1.4. For me shooting at f1.4 wasn't much of a problem because the elements in the image were pretty much playing on the same plane. I knew that from where I was standing the top of the backboard, and the net would both be in focus. Lastly was the ISO. Even though the ISO is at 2500, I knew I could mask the noise in post by turning the noise into grain.

Snapshot /
I usually drop my girlfriend off at work, and I try to catch a snap of her sometime along the way. Here's a 1/20th shutter shot of her walk down our corridor.
