Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you’ll see the way to fly.” –Richard Bach Day 357 of my 365 photo a day project.

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
Marvin the Martian
I’ve had this statuette of Marvin the Martian for a long time. If you ever been to my office or been on a video hangout with me, you’ve this angry little guy standing on a small table over my shoulder. He is my favorite Martian. But I have no idea why I waited so long to…… Continue reading Marvin the Martian
Make My Day
This is my Clint Eastwood “go ahead, make my day” look. A bit of fun late at night while I’m trying new things. And, yes, scrambling to get a shot of the day. Ok, so yeah, it’s another self-portrait for the 365 image of the day. But I did have quite a bit of fun processing…… Continue reading Make My Day
Every Day Dilemma
The dilemma of a life as a freelance photographer and 3D/2D motion graphics artist is you must find a way to balance family time, client needs, personal projects, relaxation time, and the mundane but necessary tasks of running a business. It’s enough to drive you crazy at times – being at the center of a…… Continue reading Every Day Dilemma
What Are You Looking At?
What are you looking at? This is just me playing around with some surrealist ideas. What would it look like if you took your glasses off and held them out in front of you and saw your own eyes staring back? Not bad for a first attempt at it, but the execution needs some work. I need to…… Continue reading What Are You Looking At?

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
Abyss
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” –Friedrich Nietzsche The stare, a self-portrait. This image started as a simple exercise to test my old Vivitar 283 flash. My goal…… Continue reading Abyss
Framed by Hands
Self-portrait – framed by my hands. This is not a dance move – I am not “vogue-ing”. I actually do this on occasion to visualize a shot if I don’t have a camera to look through. Think of it as a poor man’s camera obscura. Day 113 of my 365 photo a day project. If you…… Continue reading Framed by Hands
Insomnia
“The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep.” –W.C. Fields Insomnia rears its ugly head to me from time to time. It certainly makes getting through the day a challenge, especially when I am out of coffee! But I have a way of dealing with it. This is me saying to that…… Continue reading Insomnia
