Moon and Venus over Port Orange, Florida
This is the night sky from beneath Dunlawton Ave. bridge in Port Orange, FL, facing north-west this evening. Unfortunately Saturn already set minutes before taking this photo. Surprisingly this image came out so sharp you can clearly read the sign in the unscaled version. Surprising, because I took the shot from a pier which moved ...
Insomnia and Idle Hands
This was an idea I’ve had bouncing around my head for a while now. Being the Daylight Savings changeover always throws off my sleep schedule, I was up late and wide awake. Why not give it a try. The lighting came out as perfect as planned. Sadly, my positioning was a little off. It’s pretty ...
A shoot with Ms. Savannah Sly
My neighbour, and Seattle Dominatrix, Ms. Savannah Sly was recently given a new rubber cat suit. When I saw she took a mobile-phone picture of it on Twitter, I offered to have a quick shoot so she could have better pictures of it. This was the result of our quick 30-minute shoot. Savannah was awesome ...
Choke! An experiment in lighting.
This is what happens when I have two friends hanging out in the studio. One of them had a questions about creating a low-key subject with a high-key background. I set up the lighting and went to take a picture, but they were not satisfied with taking a simple portrait. Next thing I know one ...
Too Serious (Self Portrait)
Every day I try to spend 30 minutes on a different lighting setup. Today’s was trying to appear strong, dark, contrasty, and even a little gloomy. The lighting was fairly simple. I stepped into the edge of a downward facing beauty dish with 30-degree grid at 1/1. To give my head (and only head) a ...
Self Portraits Part 1
This is just a quick update as I’ve been very busy lately. So I have this lighting equipment sitting around and want to do something with it. Sadly my free time for the week week is all allocated. My solution? Using my lunch break to take a self portrait or two. Every day is different ...
A romantic visit to Dulces Bistro & Wine
While walking down Western Avenue behind the Pike Place Market, we noticed a restaurant named Dulces Bistro & Wine confusingly tucked away next to an empty store-front. I say confusing because the sign is located on the corner above the empty space, but the restaurant is located a few yards away. Once we figured that ...
A spectacular night at Joule in Wallingford, Seattle
Last night my partner and I visited a restaurant called Joule at 1913 North 45th Street Seattle, WA 98103 (Wallingford). Since my partner did all the research on this one, I had no idea where we were going nor any history on the restaurant. Oh boy were we in for a treat!
Black Bottle in Belltown
My partner has been playfully prodding me to start taking restaurant photos again. I can’t blame her, it’s been way too long. We decided to break my sabbatical with a restaurant we had not been to before; Black Bottle, a gastro-pub located in Belltown, Seattle.
