The City is at War
Title courtesy Cobra Starship. This picture just seems to me what that might look like…mainly because of the angry clouds. The angry, beautiful, perfect clouds. So…I’m incredibly pleased with myself right now. Sorry if that sounds egotistical, but, as an artist, that doesn’t happen often. I can like my work, but rarely am I like […]
Portland, You Are Not Ours
This is an ode to a dead sign/photograph. The sign is of course still there, but apparently the City of Portland is going to be charging for commercial use of photographs of it. I’m not 100% sure what that means yet, and I’m not sure if it only applies to new photos taken of it, […]
Surfer
So, I already posted this photo, but I was unaware that if you put more than 15 tags, no one will see your post. Since I just figured this out today, and I posted this several days ago, I am reposting (with less tags). So, sorry to those that have already seen it. Here’s what […]
Summer’s end
I love this photo. I’m not sure if other people love it as much as I do, but for me, the whole thing was magical. It was one of my first [Hipstamatic] photos taken with my iPhone 5, so it was taken at the beginning of fall. It was, however, a warm, sunny day, so […]
Wedding decorations
One of my first iPhone/Hipstamatic photos ever. I got an iPhone for Christmas, I had already heard about Hipstamatic, I downloaded it right away, and it’s been my preferred form of iPhoneography ever since. This, as the title suggests, is from a wedding. I was still in the experimenting stage. Although, I might always and […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Love
I love this photo partially just because of how it looks; from their faces to the fact that the background is blurred to the coloring. But also what I love is everything that’s captured in this moment that is more than just visual. I’m posting this photo as part of the weekly photo challenge, which […]
Shadows
My newest fascination – shadows. I’m not entirely sure what it is; I think part of it is the contrast of light/dark and the shapes, and sometimes the colors. Part of it though, when it’s people, I think is that it feels like you’re capturing someone’s portrait, but in a way in which they are […]
Hawthorne Bridge
This was one of my earliest Hipstamatic photos. No, it is not from ’81. That’s an effect of the film. It was shot from my dad’s office. He has a perfect view but rarely works in his office. If I worked there, I would have trouble not staring out the window the entire day. I […]
Self Portrait
Ok, I have decided I need to make posts of actual pictures. Maybe I will give stories with them. 🙂 To start though, here’s a self portrait. It doesn’t really have a story. I was experimenting. I like it. The end. 🙂
