Cooper at 6 months
Just a few months ago I photographed Cooper for the first time, and last night I got to spend the evening with him again. Despite the cold the little guy toughed it out without one complaint and managed to be super cute in his little beanie. The location was this years “Trail of Lights”, which is far from what it was last year… a few lights, a big tree of lights, and some food stands seemed like all you saw this year. Bummer…. But some great photographs came from it. Unlike my last post where I lit up a parking garage like a studio this shoot was all available light from the lit up trees, huge work lights the city set up, and a small LED light from the handlebars on my bicycle!




The next three photos is where the LED light came in handy.

Robot Cooper





Cooper has some rad parents and I cant wait to document the rest of his first year!
Laura Lee Bishop
I had the pleasure of photographing the local artist Laura Lee Bishop this past weekend in a downtown parking garage. The inside was lined with white brick wall, concrete floors, and ceiling; I setup shop and lit the place up like a studio.




Got outside just after the sun began to hide….

….and found this amazing hole of light where the sun was bouncing off a gold building behind us. Light like this is to good to pass up, just something you can’t plan for, and you HAVE to take advantage of.

Then back inside with the rest of her band.


Busy, busy, busy….
Lots going on, and I’ve been either to busy or tired to get on here and give you some previews lately, so here is a big random update. I’ll start with the most recent, bicycles… I’ve been riding my little kids bicycle around quite a bit and have been having a blast. This past weekend there was a small jam/demo at a skatepark up north called Ramp Ranch, I snapped this quick shot of Hanson Little jumping out of the bowl quarter on the far right and wall riding into the small quarter. It was up on Mutiny Bikes website after the jam which was pretty rad! Go ride a bike now!

Next up is some film, I recently purchased myself a new film camera and have been shooting more film than usual. When I say new, I do mean new to me as the camera is 10 years old (Nikon F100 if your curious)! Here is a couple from the last roll I got developed from the old F100.


and here from the cult classic… Holga

Last month I did a press kit shoot with the local band We Paint The Town


Finally, a quick editorial shoot for a new small indie music magazine out of San Antonio called Backbeat Magazine for a gear talk section with a local musician. Robert Cherry brought out a couple speakers and a lot of cables, to bad we didn’t make and loud noises.

One final thing, I recently setup a facebook page, so please add it and spread the word.
