Look Into My Eyes

Processed in Photoshop and Lightroom with liberal use of Topaz Glow and Topaz Impression.…… Continue reading Look Into My Eyes
Contemplating Impermanence
“By contemplating the impermanence of everything in the world, we are forced to recognize that every time we do something could be the last time we do it, and this recognition can invest the things we do with a significance and intensity that would otherwise be absent. We will no longer sleepwalk through our life.”…… Continue reading Contemplating Impermanence
Self-Portrait 34
By my count, this is self-portrait 34 in this project. When I need to shoot something interesting everyday and I can’t find a suitable subject, it makes sense to shoot myself. After all, I am trying to share a bit of me in every photo I create. What better way to do that than with a photograph…… Continue reading Self-Portrait 34
A Riff on Magritte’s The Pilgrim
One of the great things about my 365 project, is the necessity to experiment, or riff, on different styles and techniques. To keep the daily image fresh and exciting to both me and the viewer, I have to constantly push out of my comfort zone. Today, I decided to borrow some ideas from Belgian surrealist painter Rene…… Continue reading A Riff on Magritte’s The Pilgrim
National Selfie Day
Today is National Selfie Day. Now you may think with the way social media is these days that every day is National Selfie Day and you’re probably right. But either way, today is the official day. Therefore, I’m adding my own mug to the endless stream of self shot portraits. My intention with this shot was to do…… Continue reading National Selfie Day
Man in the Mirror
“Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.” –Ernest Holmes This is the view of my desk I see almost everyday. I sit down here to jot down crazy ideas and thoughts, create to-do lists, and sometimes (or a lot of the time!) stare at blank sheets…… Continue reading Man in the Mirror
Every Day Dilemma

It’s enough to drive you crazy at times – being at the center of a…… Continue reading Every Day Dilemma
Crazy Happy Fun Stuff
Experimentation with new techniques, gear, lighting, angles, and subjects can be crazy fun. When the craziness (I’m talkin’ ’bout me) is there at the start, the excitement is doubled. This expression is combination of happy fun and the “oh man, I don’t have any time and I need a shot since I’ll be away from the…… Continue reading Crazy Happy Fun Stuff
Half Face Outdoors
Half a face, outdoors – just a simple self-portrait taken on a nice bright and sunny March day. I’m not happy that I must wear glasses when I read and work on the computer these days, but I have to say, I do like the way I look with them on. Not quite a fair trade…… Continue reading Half Face Outdoors
The Dark Figure
A dark figure stands in a doorway peering into an empty room. Who is he? Why is he there? What does he see? What is he thinking? These are all questions I ask myself when I am creating my images. What is the subject and what do I want it to say to me…… Continue reading The Dark Figure
Whirlwind of the Mind
“To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.” –Anne Rice A self-portrait combining my passion for photography and my “day job” of 3D /2D animation and motion graphics. I shot a quick and simple head shot with my 50mm lens set pretty…… Continue reading Whirlwind of the Mind
