New Dreams

I added these two new images to my dreams porfolio on my website. I haven't had much of a chance to shoot for fun, and now I am trying to get back to picking up my camera just to put a smile on my face.

A Mostly Steampunk Halloween

Alison and I went to a Steampunk Halloween Party at our friend's house in Modesto. Tawny and Phil always have amazing parties making it well worth the drive into the valley. Everyone embraced the holiday spirt, and the costumes were fantastic. I hope that everyone else had a great halloween.

Nikki Kellogg

About a month ago, I was approached to put together an aspiring dancer's portfolio. Nikki Kellogg, 22, is planning to move to L.A. to audition and make a push for being a dancer, and she said she needed a portfolio to show around. This was an entirely new project for me, and we spent quite a bit of time planning our shoots and what kind of photos she wanted to showcase her looks and talent. We did a combination of "studio-esque" shots with dancing in the street and more traditional head shots. Nikki was really wonderful to work with, which made my job a whole lot easier. Here are just a few of the photos that we made prints of for her final portfolio. Photos by Alison Yin

Geekfest 2009

I should have posted this awhile ago, but Geekfest 2009 is just around the corner. Unfortunately Adm and I can't go (we're booked every weekend this month), but it is sure to be a good and inspiring time. Check out the list of speakers - pretty awesome. Official schedule here.



There will also be a silent print auction. If you can't make the workshop, you can still donate a print (proceeds from which will benefit one of Melissa Lyttle's co-workers - read story here).

Picks from my assignments

These are some photographs I liked from some of my recent Bee assignments. It has been very hectic lately trying to shoot for school and for the paper, but I love being able to do what I love. Yes, I love what I love. Enjoy!

Bears eat the Gophers

The Cal Bears killed the Minnesota Gophers last weekend on their way to the National Semi Finals on May 1. I would never play rugby, but man is it fun to watch and shoot. I plan on following them in the finals.

AngryF

I was shooting my friend, Allen "Angryf" Passalaqua for an artist portrait, and I shot this out take for my slice of light series.

Timmy Chainsaw Massacre

Timothy Markin, 40, is a captain on the Stanislaus Hotshots, and was my last squad boss on the Groveland Hotshots. He is one of the best sawyers, chainsaw operators, I have ever known. However, what Timmy, as he is called, is know for is his wild personality and his inability to quit. Timmy is an unstoppable force. I learned most of what I know ablout clearing brush from him, and I remember fondly the times that I spent with Timmy among others on Crew 4, the Groveland Hotshots.

Because I now live in Oakland and have become soft Timmy was called in to clear brush on my parents property. It worked out that one of the days I was visiting he was clearing brush so I was able to help out. It felt good to work with him again. Timmy is truly a monster when It comes to running a chainsaw. I have to admit that I was "broke off" by the end of the day. I am sure that Timmy will gloat about this fact. So this post is for him. I hope that you enjoy.
