Tim & Julia Engagement

David — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 20:01:34 +0000

We went out to Pasadena for a nice hot afternoon. I hadn’t been there before, so I forced them come with me. The whole tamale.

Manzanar / Inyo National Forest

David — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 05:02:39 +0000

Over the 4th of July weekend, I drove up Highway 395 to Inyo National Forest with a good friend of mine. Stopped by Manzanar, which was where the U.S. held over 100,000 Japanese Americans during WWII. We camped for a night in Inyo after hiking about four and half miles into the mountains, gaining some 1,600ft then turned around and headed back to camp.

Sequoia National Park

I took a quick trip to Sequoia for the day. The remaining snow was unexpected, as was the eventual stormy weather; well worth the total road trip cost: $60.

I’ve uploaded some new photos to my ongoing series: picture [box]. The series consists of pictures I’ve previously rejected, disliked, or passed over that I now like for different reasons. I wanted the visual processing to also portray that, hence the high contrast, improper exposure, and dark matte box vignetting. The theme for the series:

“sometimes [beauty] is more readily seen when it’s been [hurt]”

Brandon & Yesenia Wedding

David — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 01:20:18 +0000

Last Saturday I got to shoot Brandon and Yesenia’s wedding day. I had also done their engagement photos back in December, so it was nice to grab some more shots with them.

I’ve decided to start an ongoing photo series. I hope to add to it every now and then; for now it consists of mostly rejected photos I’ve taken. The series is based on the following line:

“sometimes [beauty] is more readily seen when it’s been [hurt]”

Chad & Kara’s Wedding

David — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 23:30:44 +0000

It started out a little cloudy… and then rained a bit, but it was a pretty good day. Chad & Kara seemed to have a blast, and the rain afforded for a few cute umbrellas shots with Kara. Well worth a slight drizzle if you ask me. Here’s a 120 image spread of the photographic highlights.

Zion National Park

David — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 05:06:47 +0000

I took a quick road trip out to Zion National Park, Utah over the Christmas weekend. Perfect conditions: mid 40’s, sunny, and about a foot of fresh snow that had fallen over the past five days. Took a few falls on the icy trails, but it was worth it. 25 new shots up… stay warm.

Daniel & Erin’s Wedding

David — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 08:07:58 +0000

I had the privilege and fun of attending and shooting Daniel & Erin’s wedding day on December 13th. I shot alongside a friend of the family’s and was able to get a pretty good series with him. The weather was perfect: overcast for a couple hours before the sun peaked out several times. This was actually my first wedding as a photographer. Not too bad… here’s what I grabbed.

Brandon & Yesenia Engagement Photos

Just uploaded a healthy handful of Brandon & Yesenia’s engagement session. We went to Griffith Park in Los Angeles early one morning. The full set.
