Wow...long time no blog post huh...
Where do I start? Lets see, there's no reason for me to talk about what happened in April, considering there wasn't really much activity that month. But man, once May came around the proverbial ball of creativity was rolling. My birthday came around on the 8th and my girlfriend and I headed down to Seaside Heights (no fist pumping involved by the way). The beach, be it freezing cold or blazing hot, is a great place to collect yourself and get the creative juices flowing. From then on, May was filled with random hikes through the woods, scouting locations, and shooting what great things came my way. So much of my work was inspired by the growth of greenery around my location. Spring and the start of Summer never cease to amaze me in the amount of colors they respectively bring with them. Even after a rainy day, it's hard for me to stay inside and not enjoy what is out there for me to photograph. Example: for about 16 years or so, I've been passing a patch of amazing scenery and it finally tempted me enough to take a hike and capture a part of what it has to show. I parked the car about 100 yards from where I needed to be and spent an hour hiking that 100 yards! The greenery was up to my chest in most parts and it was apparent that not a single human being has been in that area in years. The moment I captured does not even come close to doing the scene justice. Spring is an amazing season.
Anyway, a trip to a reservoir and a forest-seldom-seen later, I'm on the verge of photographing a model at one of my scouted locations. It's going to be a traditional American Farm shoot and I even plan on posting up a 'behind the scenes' video of sorts to put up on facebook and on my website. It'll give you an inside look of what it's like to be in a shoot with yours truly. Hopefully everything goes as planned and I blog post again at some point next week.
Until then be on the lookout and keep creative.
