WAY BACK

Man, took these way before I had even a passing interest in photography. At the time I just thought of photos as something to help me remember things I've done and places I'd been. Rakim, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Method Man and Redman at Rock the Bells in 2008. It was such an awesome day the concert was on my 21st birthday, I met the dudes from A Tribe Called Quest and ran into Murs while on my way to get a beer, got daps from Meth and saw everyone at the stacked concert. I took these with a Canon point&shoot, so forgive the quality.

MAMIYA 645 PRO TL

YESSS!!! I bought this last night and I can't wait until I get some film in it and start shooting with it. Photos from my new baby soon.

TWO OLDIES

I found another two of my older photos on my external hard drive yesterday. I really like the first one here because to me it seems like a still from a movie, plus I painted the LeSabre in it. I'm thinking opening scene of The Shining but thats all filmed from above so I don't know, it's what's popping in my head when I look at it though. The second is just a snapshot coming back from a trip to DC with a couple friends. All three of us are taking photos in it, I must have scrolled past these thirty times and never even looked at them.

THE USUAL PLUS COSTUMES

Halloween. More coming soon, maybe.

SELF PORTRAITS

Well its pretty hard to focus correctly when your taking photos of yourself. Its a lot of trial and error.

SNOW DAZE

I really like this group of photos a lot. My dad and brothers dark clothing covered in snow looks pretty awesome especially in black & white. The snow falling is a plus too.

FROM THE ARCHIVES

Went through my external hard drive looking for photos I might have missed the first few times around or ones that I had been kind of heavy-handed on the editing. They're mostly re-edited photos aside from one or two.

ITS ALL BLACK AND WHITE

Got the other two rolls of film yesterday. Here's a few of them.
