Here are a few pictures I wanted to share from my recent trip to New York City and Philadelphia. We were in Philly for a WordCamp, but decided to take a few extra days and enjoy New York as well.

I love the opportunity to get back in the studio. Fortunately, I work with some awesome folks that love to do cool things, so they don’t mind hanging out and taking photos.
Last week, I had the chance to shoot (more) photos of Cory Miller, and I wanted to share a few of them with you. Read More →
Chis came to me this morning and said that he needed a headshot because he will be speaking at some events coming up. I thought it was a good opportunity to take some photos of a few of the other guys as well.
Here is what we came up with.
Ok, I guess I kind of fell off the map for a bit. But it was all for a reason. Jessica and I are now married, and it feels great. It has been hard to maintain the blog while trying to get everything done for the wedding, and maintain a job (gotta pay those bills). We had a great wedding, and a fantastic honeymoon. We did the whole cruise thing, and I really enjoyed it. Now it is back to work at iThemes. Actually, I am writing this from the lobby of a hotel in Dallas where I am with the team from iThemes for WordCamp Dallas ’09. So far we have had a pretty good time. The conference doesn’t actually start until tomorrow, but we are here a day early to get some “team building.” Not sure what that means. Mostly just hazing Cory.
I submit that I am not. Ok, I guess I have been, but I am fixing that. With my new job (which I love by the way), it has been difficult to maintain the amount of shooting I used to get to do. Not only do I have a new job, I have a new house, a new puppy, and I am getting married in 7 days. That is pretty time consuming. So yesterday I decided to do something about my lack of shooting. Next to me, on my desk, is my 1d mk2n with a 20-35 2.8L on it. It is a simple set up. Even though it serves no purpose at my job, I keep it there and shoot in the office. The pictures are nothing of note, but what is important is that I am being creative. I also shoot a lot of pictures with my iPhone, but I have found that having my “real” camera staring me in the face makes me want to use it more.
I recently did a little series of photos about some of my fellow employees at The Vista newspaper. I gave them absolutely no direction. I just waited until they did something that looked like them, and shot what happened. Some of them are a little more extremem than others. And some are more naked.
