UNDERWATER SHOOTS COMING SOON!

Well for a long time I have wanted to shoot underwater shoots with models.... I bought this camera back to shoot underwater and then... ... ....  .... I just am always so busy... 2 YEARS passed! LOL... and so FINALLY the other day I was able to run down to the beach for a lil while and jump in the water and shoot some.... I want to try it with a model next!!

These were the best shots BUT... most of the shots were out of focus .... it was really hard to shoot and know what I was actually shooting... I will have to play with it some more and find a model to practice with before really shooting some real shoots underwater!! BUT... hopefully before summer is over LOL

“First of all, you have to have a bad camera”

I had seen this article about this artist/ photographer  -- he made his own cameras from junk basically - but I love the "poetic imperfections" of his make shift photos -- It is something that I have really found beauty in and have slightly been leaning into more of that look and feel for the past year or two. I also love this quote by the artist, Tichy said:  “If you want to be famous, you must do something more badly than anybody in the entire world.”

Framing My Photos!

Well, although I'm taking a hiatus from shooting... I did print a BUNCH of my work a couple months back and so I'm finally getting to frame a bunch of my work! Which is very exciting and just so nice to see them in frames "completed" -- This is my second largest printed sizes -- These images are 20x30 and the frames are approximately 26x36 -- So they are pretty big! I wanted to say a special thanks to Debbie and Bob- for their special help!! THANKS! =)

I'm taking a Hiatus from photo shoots

I decided it is time to take a break from shooting.... So I'll be trying to work with the rest of the models that I have talked to about setting up shoots with - and get those all wrapped up. I might still work with a few of my regular models - Since there is a lot of specific shots and ideas I have wanted to see created... But...  for a while now I have been considering taking a break from shooting... I've just LOVE creating beautiful images ... But tired of dealing with all the drama and the set up of getting the shoots planned... and I can do a shoot and get a bunch of great shots but that is just not enough for me anymore... I want to create / capture something MORE Dynamic then just great shots.... So I think it is time to take a break and see what I really want to focus on.... -- And since I create a lot of different types of artwork -- It is just kinda easier, less expensive, and less drama to do the art. So I have been focussing more of my time and efforts on doing different types of art pieces.

   Soooo if we were set to shoot OR if we had talked about shooting and you were waiting for a good time to do it - NOW is the time! hahaha Before I totally quit shooting! Cool deal, thanks! Wish everyone the best! -- Howard
