mere observation

I've been watching the tour de france almost everyday for the past few weeks.  I woke up this morning and this car was across the street from my house.  Thought it was very appropriate.

lila rae today

Thought it would be fun to share a foto of my daughter to see how much she has grown since, the last daily project I put together.  She still inspires me everyday to be a better person with each move I make.

Steve Jobs Memorial

Decided to stop by the 5th Avenue apple store to pay tribute to a true genius.

I have been reading his biography for the past few weeks and did not realize all of the great things that Steve Jobs really brought into the world.

The world will truly miss you.

Your work will continue to inspire.

Here's to the crazy ones.

Once upon a dandelion

I took this picture of these seeds before they were dispersed into the world.

I still believe they are full of wishes for everyone to enjoy.

Makes for limitless possibilities...

Into the Fog

I recently wandered around in the early hours of the morning chasing down a shot.
The haunting beauty of this environment was both inspirational and striking at the same time.
The grass was covered with a fresh layer of morning dew as I rolled up my pants and continued onward in search of this image. I wondered around aimlessly, transfixed on my surroundings and the task at hand. I gently pressed down on the shutter and this is what was created at that moment.

Snowy Daze

We had another blast of winter yesterday and I did not have time to shoot

photos in the morning, so I did so during my lunch.

This was one the images I composed while driving around in the middle of nowhere,

I found these giant pine trees on both sides of this driveway.

It looked so beautiful and it made me feel like a kid again.

just me

I still enjoy the challenge of a self portrait.

How can it be made different?

Is is still visually interesting?

Have I changed since the last time?

All interesting questions that somehow get answered with each click.

Day 365

little piece of my heart

sweet little moments

passing by,

always a blessing in disguise.

the true meaning of my life

as seen through my daughter's eyes.

Day 364

I look to the sky

When I start to question where I am and what will be,

I look to the sky.

When I have doubt and reflect on my mistakes,

I look to the sky.

When I become what I am destined to be,

I look to the sky.

Because in this moment I am free.

Day 363

Sunny Day Self Portrait

I traveled around today inspired by lots of sunshine.

I decided to compose a few self portraits today.

This image happened on my first attempt with no tripod.

Day 362

The Lounge

Having a good time with friends at Lava Lounge.

The DJ was spinning some sweet tunes, as we kicked

it in one of our favorite spots.

Day 361

Little Miss Lila

I took this image under low lighting conditions
while she was having a dance party with daddy.
Always fun, always cute.

Day 360

A winter's day

I came across this scene as I was driving around on a
wintry day. As you can see in the photograph it was actually
snowing at the time. I enjoy trying to make the most of
the dead season instead of complaining about the weather.

Day 359

Pissed Kitty

I took this image very close up to Jangles the kitty.
As you can she she was not very amuzed.
That is why I think this image is hilarious.

Day 358

Simplest Moments

Enjoying her sweet new hangout courtesy of
yours truly.

Day 357

Something Magical

My desire and love for photography
stems from the fact that when you take a picture
something magical happens.
The more candid the better.
An opportunity to capture the world.
To let loose.
To let others realize the madness behind your vision is not really
madness at all.
It's fucking genius.

Day 356

Go Brownies Go

We went to the Browns game today courtesy of
T-Bone. We had amazing seats and the game was great
even if we did get the snot beat out of us.
There is always next year right...?

Day 355

True Beauty

Its a New Year and I woke up with a
calling to go to St Bernard's church.
The underlined meaning became apparent
to me as I knelt down to pray.
It was cold and raining
outside and I was attracted to this statue as
I left the church. Its beauty reminds me
of hope and purity in the world

Day 354

New Years Eve Already...?

It is New Years Eve and I took this early picture of Lila in
her new Dora tent.

Day 353

Birthday to you.

It was mommy's Birthday, so we celebrated in style
with a sweet treat from the West Side Bakery.
