Road Trip Continues

It’s when we run out of things to say that the truth really starts to come out of ourselves.

Chasing the Sun

My attempt at communicating a feeling through pictures.  A weekend filled with a certain… I don’t know. If I knew the words I guess I wouldn’t need the camera.

A Feeling

There is a certain feeling that settles in on certain summer afternoons.  It looks something like this.

Sometimes.

Sometimes we hide.  Sometimes we don’t.  I’m still a bit up in the air about which is better.

Hiding.

We are born.  We live.  We are silenced.  We go into hiding… and in a mischievous glimmer we come back in the world to start interacting, in a way we never could before.

An Intensity

I’m finally starting to find the images I’ve spent a lifetime looking for.

A Simple Bath

In a way I think all of us put on a bit of a disguise, everyday, and nobody more so than young women. Makeup to bras to hair straighteners girls become someone that looks as least like their regular selves as possible. Somehow our culture sends girls a message that it’s not ok to be themselves. I think we should change that.

The Bathroom is the scene of the crime. I like shooting girls there, it always feels just a tad more honest. A tad more… scary.

It’s scary being yourself.

Second Shoot with Brenna

Four years ago I met Brenna for the first time, it was quick, I photographed her final look at a fashion show for the fabulous Jared Gold.

Then, she came to my house for a shoot… turns out neither of us realized we’d met before.  An odd coincidence in a small world.  I love those.
