This reminds me of the Solaris (The remake, movie meh, music=great) original score by Cliff Martinez.
My barometer is always whether or not I can remember something it in my head afterwards, and if I do, did it fit the movies mood completely.
A while back I photographed these models, and the guy has since called me up to take some promo shots for his up and coming music career. So while I was looking for some standard portraits to show they stylist, I came across these.

My last assignment for Orange Coast is on the shelves now.
I used to watch this guy review video games on a little underrated show on what was then TechTV. I had no idea he was the musical genius behind Earthworm Jim and other games of my youth.
He’s a big kid at heart, and his home is filled with the same kind of movie memorabilia I used to (and still secretly) wish for while perusing Sharper Image catalogs. He also owns a lifesize Tron lightcycle.
Click on through to the article, it’s an interesting read if you’re at all interested in old video games.
I have decided to make myself a stronger person.
To start off this “Vision Quest” I have decided to shelter myself from television, facebook, wandering the internet aimlessly, and general time wasting activities for a week. Like a master cleanse of media.
Instead I’ll be doing the reading I always tell myself I’m going to do. Limber myself up with morning yoga, and take nighttime runs listening to Journey’s “Only The Young.”
Status update in a week, plus some extra pre-scheduled posts during the holidays.
Also… I think I need to find a jacket like this guy’s.
Had a meeting with Orange Coast Magazine a couple months ago, and on stifling summer drive back to LA with a broken air conditioner (barefoot, uphill, both ways, in the snow) I received my first assignment with them via email. The issue is out on shelves now and has some great info on OC nightlife if you’re out in that direction.
Stay tuned for more work from Orange Coast!
The brother sister team that own and operate Tranquil Tea Lounge in Fullerton have an awe inspiring selection of specialty teas to choose from. It’s a welcome change of pace from the impersonal caffeine machine that is Starbucks and has delicious salads and sandwiches to boot.
Oh yeah, this was pretty spectacular!
I’m one of 7 winners this year for the Editorial Photographers Education Grant!
Check out the winners gallery, there’s some great work in there!
First off, sorry I haven’t updated in a while.
I’ve been working on putting together a new portfolio and getting all my promotional materials off to their various printers.
Found this on Wired.com.
Photographer Clay Enos (All those great Watchmen images) hangs out in San Francisco with a sheet of white paper and a 50mm. No lights, no crazy telephoto zooms, no models, just him and the unassuming public.
It’s great to see things like this that make you just want to go out and photograph the world. Maybe I’ll give it a go one of these weeks.
I always knew about Eisenstaedt’s “The Kiss” and his iconic portrait of Marilyn Monroe, but I had never seen his photos of these famous scientists until just now. They’re amazing.
