Lee first introduced me to Heathen Apostles at the Cafe Nela show on February 13. He knew I would love them and he is friends with Mather. Well, he was right. I love them! And it turns out we license their music through Rescue Records. Heathen Apostles played an amazing set at Cafe Nela, absolutely amazing. But I was without camera and so I wanted to go see them again at The Echo. It was a shorter set this time but here are the photos! More to come because I have 12 undeveloped frames that I shot on my Rollei. I also had my CD autographed by the band! Yay! Thank you!

Drawing

Drawing, painting, and photography.
Without one or the other my visual art would have no depth.

True story.

I learned how to expose a frame in a camera.
I learned how to expose a print in the dark room.

Black and white is easy for me.

Contrast.

Contrast and the zone system helped me learn how to draw conceptually.
To take negative space and draw in a positive space.
To take a positive space and draw in a negative space.

To take a brush and float and be free.

As free as a fleeting moment in the camera.
As you look through the lens.

Through your looking glass.

What do you see?

A Passion for the Arts

I had the opportunity to photograph orchestra rehearsal again at A&I in Hollywood.

These are my favorite portraits that I took of Shelly Ren,
a 25 year old with a Masters from Julliard.

Beautiful. I love her passion and her intensity when she plays.

I had the opportunity to photograph orchestra rehearsal bringing me the best of both worlds into my soul. More to come… as the musical pieces started fitting together so did my perspective on my own art.
