Pics at the park

At The Park

This part of this journey brings us to the enviornments thats I get to experience from time to time. Living in city people tend to think it's all concrete and tall buildings. Depending on what part of the city you live in you'll just may happen to see things like this. This is a scene from a video shoot I was apart of, out in East New York, Brooklyn. Roses can grow from concrete.

Just Chill!

Peace

People tend to always catch their pets always in motion. They are jumping, playing, running etc.  Not to many have a time when it's time to just chill and relax.  In this picture I happened to do just that. People have negative opinions about cats. They are lazy, mean etc.  I will say that this cat is very cool.  Just look at the peace.

The Expression

Expression

One thing I love about using people as subjects, is the expressions that they give off in certain photos. In this photo you can get one of two expressions. THis can be the "I'm tired it's been a long day", or it could be "Some sh*t is going down, I want to see it but I really don't want to see it".  I love my family because it seems, that we have this ability where our faces carry what are feelings truly are when our mouths can't express it.

Beach Days

The Man

I like going to the beach. It's even better when you go with people you know your going to have fun with. The sounds of the ocean, the feel of the hot sun on your skin and a bottle of water can make your day just right. It also helps you clear your mind and just relax, while you think.  This photo says just that to me.  Relax and think.

Wife and Cousin

First and First

When family meets it's a great thing. This day there was a bbq in the court and we were all there hanging. My gf (now my wife) and my first cousin were hanging out while I was running around taking pictures and chatting away. I got to stop and take this shot of them together on the bench.  This picture was awesome because the shutter and speed and flash gave this shot that faded DOF look. Sometimes blurry in a still shot can work, if you know what you are doing. I'm pretty nifty.

Respect

David sun

Dave is one photogenic guy.  The best photo's are the ones you really don't plan for. The actual subject in photo is the hat. I bought this hat at the 2012 International African Arts Festival. We went to brunch and I wore the hat. The hat was a hit! It just so happens that Dave found a way to make this photo even better.  

Through my window

Windowed

Taking a jump to a different group and into the world of xtras. The xtras play there part by just adding filling to a scene or enviornment. They are not the focal part of the scene but do their part.  This photo is of a family member standing outside of a door. It just so happens that the way the door was positioned allowed me to capture him outside and what was inside as well. You would think this was photoshopped but it wasn't. This was all good timing and camera work.
