Cold

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…)

Planning and preparation

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…)

I saw red

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…)

Music state of mind

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…)

Street beats

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…)

A walkabout, downtown Miami

More often than not, I arrive at work early. I make an effort to do so because I love to just be able to take my time and be easy before the madness of the work day begins. One of my favorite things to do during that time is to talk a walkabout around downtown. Granted, it can be a little scary when it is rather early as well as dark and there are drug addicts along with crazies roaming around the street. However, once you pass those undesirable areas, it is quite a tranquil walk through the downtown city streets. (more…)

They bring it

Last night we made it out to watch our favorite local band perform a fantastic set at the Native Florida Taproom and Music hall. While my camera struggled with my beginner’s skill level and the rather dim conditions, the band did not disappoint. I took quite a few photos yet was unhappy with most save for the few found here. The below photos are my favorite, however. Most importantly, the band loved them, too. I hope you enjoy them. If you’re ever in the South Florida area, look up Urban Rebel and head out to one of their shows. You won’t be disappointed. (more…)

From the hall

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love to shoot pool. To me a pool hall is almost like my second home. It’s hard for me to take pictures while I’m out shooting pool. Nine times out of ten, I would rather be on the table shooting and not behind then lens. However, I absolutely love capturing the expression on a person’s face when they are concentrating on the task at hand and lining up their shot. Here are a few shots from the hall with my fellow players doing what they do. (more…)

Pick it

I was going to wait to share these images with you tomorrow, however I am really pleased with how they turned out and I just could not wait. On our walked today, we stopped by our nearby U-pick and thankfully I brought along my camera. Especially for the little scarecrow and the forgotten tanker. I think those are the favorite of the set.

Zoo Day 022413

I wanted to make my first post containing images, special. Which is why I decided to put up my favorite edits from a recent trip to the zoo. I haven’t been to many a zoo, however I really do love that our local zoo is not composed of cages. The thought of animals behind bars saddens me. At Zoo Miami, although the animals are kept within enclosures, they are very well taken care of. I hope you all enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed my visit. (more…)
