I Made Fire

I like to tell people that Frank can actually create fire from his hands when I show folks this photo. No, I didn't set him on fire. I created it in Photoshop, of course. I was going to make a traditional fireball, but then I figured it should look more natural like Meredith on "Heros" where it comes from her palms.

Actually, this is what happens to Frank when I don't get dinner on the table in time...

Halloween

I am late posting Halloween images. Izzy is dressed in a traditional Chinese dress, Gwen is the Tooth Fairy, and Ben is Venom.

Masquerade

Chiara asked me to take some photos for her new album. We mostly talked about our love of Paris and tattoos. I think I got her hooked on Rock Band when she sang a song with my girls. We took more than we needed so I thought I would share a few of them with you.

I’d Buy That Shampoo

Over the weekend, I shot some portraits of a cousin of mine. It gave me an opportunity to practice my fashion style as well as try out some new Photoshop techniques. Of course, she is so beautiful that I didn't have to do much. I did give her some digital lipstick and just brightened up her features a bit. Check 'em out...

Crebles

That is what Ben calls "The Incredibles." So I bought a couple of new lights and I am practicing on Ben. I'm posting this stuff so that I can better learn how to light and shoot people. Check 'em out and let me know what you think...

In Color

I have always loved black and white photography. I have always considered myself a black and white photographer. I even used to see things in black and white. Recently, I have been messing around with color, and I have found that I am getting pretty good at it...

Rockit Room

For the past couple of months, I have been bummed out about not being inspired, like I have lost my mojo. I haven't been posting on my photo blog, I haven't been learning anything new. Then I realized its only because I haven't been shooting. If I want be creative I have to get off my ass and do it. Well, two of my favorite local musicians happen to both be performing at the Rockit Room. How can I resist? Here are the photos:
