While my lovely and slow bandwidth takes it sweet time uploading some new pictures to my SmugMug gallery, I decided I wanted to share with you a couple of pictures. These three are from my Earth, Air, Fire & Water series. I spend a lot of time by the water. Especially when I get to the downtown area early enough and I head out by Bayfront Park to watch the sunrise. I love sunrises, in fact, I prefer them to sunsets. For me, there is just something about the sun rising over the horizon. The feeling of warmth I get just from watching it come in breaking in a new day with its light. I especially love the sunrising over the water. (more…)
There is a balance to the universe. The struggle to maintain that balance is the stuff of legends. For there can be no good without evil. No love, without hate. Life needs death. Innocence feeds lust. There can be no heaven without hell. No light, without…me. I am Darkness. (more…)
I’m not a gear head, not by any means. Though I do know how to do an oil change, etc.., I don’t know the difference between a big block or a small block engine. I do like cars, though. I love classics and muscle cars. There is also a few luxury cars that catch my eye. Luckily, here in Miami, we have all sorts of different people with different tastes in cars. Luckier still, I usually have my camera handy when one rolls by. So here I am sharing a few with you. (more…)
I’ve been meaning to share these shots for a while now. However, my current schedule has been keeping me pretty busy. There is no better time like the present though. So here’s a series I’ve been working on called ‘On The Rails’. For the moment it only contains pictures of one of our local transportation systems, the Metrorail. (more…)
While I was working on a couple of edits last night, thought came to me of making a few more changes to my website. Though I’m fairly happy with the design and its content, I still think that there is something missing. The problem is I’m not quite sure what it is. So I have the little hamster in my head running on his little wheel trying hard to find the answer. I know I’d like to display a lot more of my photos for those of you that have not made it to my online gallery on SmugMug and while I do post photos with each and every one of my blog entries, I know not everyone wants to sit and read through entries just to see my photos. So I believe the question at hand is how to best to about that. Do I switch themes, or maybe just link a page on my site to direct you to my gallery feed? Maybe there is even another alternative. I’m still trying to decide exactly what it is I want to accomplish before I can determine the how. (more…)
To begin with, let me offer you my apologies. Although I did know keeping up with both a personal blog and a photography blog would take time, life has made some pretty major demands of me this week and therefore this blog has suffered. To be absolutely honest, despite Athena always being with me always, I have scarcely found the time to allow her to stretch her legs. Poor girl, she’s been cooped up in her bag all this time. It’s a shame, really, though an unfortunate necessity at times. I don’t make a living on photography and so work and responsibilities must take priority. (more…)
What is it about seeing a beautifully lit building at night that just grabs attention? This building did just that, especially with an eye catching color such as red. This is the Freedom Tower in downtown Miami on a particularly gorgeous night. This picture has no edits, no filter, just beauty as shot. It’s positively gorgeous, isn’t it? (more…)
Friday night was an incredible night for me at Will Call in downtown Miami. After a some planning, I got some friends of mine together to go out and see Urban Rebel. Not only do they now have new fans, once again they left me wanting more. I positively love going to see them perform.Their shows never disappoint. Not only do they have fun and love what they do, they have an insane amount of energy and it is nothing short of contagious. They even had a guest performer join them on stage, Coz Canler of “The Romantics”. The whole vibe was amazing. I found myself not being able to put my camera down. So much so, that I was tempted to switch over to video and just film the remainder of the show. I had even a more difficult time picking my favorite shots of the evening. They were having so much fun up there. (more…)
I love downtown Miami at times. Take today for example and you can see why. Not really wanting to just sit around doing nothing during my lunch hour, I decided to go for a walk around the immediate area. No sooner did I step outside of my office building when I heard the beat of the drums. Well, it wasn’t actually drums I was hearing, rather it was drumming. (more…)
