Textures.

Today I decided to try my hand at adding textures to a photo as I was working on it. This is my first attempt at such a process. What do you guys think?

The Ladies of Metal

This was the last shoot I got the chance to be a part of in Colorado. A good friend of mine works closely with a conglomeration of awesome girls who call themselves The Ladies of Metal. I'm stoked on how things turned out. Check it!

the funny intricacies.

so i guess we're just going to keep dancing.
dancing right next to each other,
but each pretending that the other does not exist.
this is not existence.
this is not a place where ignorance works.
this is not even life.
this is a charade.
of the most grand illusion
ever perpetrated by two hearts.

i can only pray that one day
we will come to reconciliation.
so that we can stop this useless endeavor
into something that was never meant
to be delved into in the first place.

i can only hope you accept my apologies
and life can begin to move forward again.
i can't handle the awkward silences anymore.
i don't want to.

let me know when you're ready.
i'm waiting with open arms.

i officially...

live in nashville!! super pumped about it. thanks to everyone for your prayers, it was a long drive yesterday, but i'm here safe and sound. colorado, i'll miss you, but if you ever want to come visit, you have a place to stay. keep in touch!!

hey.

you. mr. my heart. stop feeling things about people you need not be feeling them about. serially.

sleepless nights.

have you ever woken up in a panic? like there was some business you forgot to take care of that you never even had in the first place? i've been having nights like that lately. how does one go about procuring the forgiveness of someone when you don't know how you've wronged them? this is the question that's been plaguing me lately. i don't know the answer. i can only hope and pray that one day we'll be reconciled. but until that day comes i suppose i'll just keep having these fleeting moments of sitting up wide awake, worrying about what's to come.

Jordan and Leah.

Recently I got the chance to do some engagement shots for my friends Jordan and Leah. I had the honor of introducing these two about two years ago, and it's been so wonderful watching their love bloom over that time. They are two of my dearest friends and I couldn't be more excited for them as they move onto the next phase of their journey together. When we sat down and talked about the shoot, they said they wanted something very out of the norm as far as engagement shots go. This was the theme I came up with for the shoot. Enjoy!

me!

so i finally got some cybersync's to remotely trigger my lights. i was messing around with them in the kitchen today. self-portrait surprise! haha.
