I rang in the new year stomping around Los Angeles. It was great exploring by myself. I have been to LA before, but was with other folks, which meant we had to work with eachothers wants/needs for the trip. This time I could go where I pleased, and got to spend a half day exploring downtown, the arts district, little tokyo and grand central station. This trip definitely gave me more affinity for LA.

Trip to Oregon in Color: Accidental Time Stamp Edition

Being in Oregon during the magical time between Summer and Fall this year was special. Such an amazing place. Looking forward to seeing more of the world and all the magical places that exists all around us.

Finally got some negatives back from the shop and found some time to scan them. This was from back in the heat of the summer when the water was as high as the humidity in the broken blocks around our home in the upper ninth ward of New Orleans.

I pulled out my land camera last week and loaded it with a fresh roll of Fuji 3000b black and white film.  I took advantage of this amazing antique store we were shooting at in Portland, OR.  This is one of my favorite snaps. I’ll share some more this week!

Happy birthday to Common Marker contributor Eli Shell! I'm stoked he joined us on this venture, and unlike the others, is only a ten minute walk from me, so we have many opportunities to take photos together!

A few weeks ago I made a trip down to New Orleans, LA to visit my good friends Sean and Colleen. I hadn't seem them for about a year and a half, but we didn't miss a beat. It was awesome to exist with them for a while and get a feeling for their new locale.

My first day there Sean and I made a trip out to the east of NOLA to explore and take some photos. We made it to Fort Pike, but unfortunately the fort was locked up.

More photos to come!

Had the pleasure of hosting Kyle on his recent trip to New Orleans. It was nice having an adventure friend to roam the city and countryside with while snapping pictures. Nice to have friends that you can be close with even when you haven’t seen each other in years too. Till the next adventure!

Finally pushed a roll through my Mamiya! I'm really loving the color treatment and fine grain of Kodak's Ektar 100.

I arrived home late one evening to find this chair sitting on the curb outside my apartment. It was around midnight, but there was a storm coming in the morning, so I ran inside, grabbed my tripod & Camera and took this four minute exposure.
