this photo is of michael valenzano and josh worden, the same cool cats of a pause in the desert. it reminds me so much of the rickety southern charm that is downtown jacksonville. there is something special about that place... it's a little unpolished and yet completely sophisticated. a place after my own heart.

as for me, i'm all moved out of my sublease and living the life of a vagabon, for at least for a week or so. until i find a place to move into, i'm basically crashing with friends and living out of an overnight bag... not as fun as one may suspect, but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

i just picked up the film from the shoot with "a pause in the desert" and i am very hyped about the results. this photo is one of my favorites from this location. we were somewhere in downtown jacksonville, outside a hipster bar sweating uncontrollably because why else, it's july in florida.

more to come.

these are some of my favorites from a series with the indie rock due a pause in the desert. i just got back from my 2nd weekend of shooting with them and can't wait to pick up 3 more rolls of film.

so i'm back!

so i've been m.i.a. for a few months... regretfully so. a lot of drama has been smothering my personal life and hijacking all of my creativity. following the bad break-up, moving out, and a few health issues, i sort of disappeared from society. it got so bad at one point that everyday after work i would drive straight home, lock myself in my room and lay in my bed for hours until i fell asleep. no computer, no phone, just issolation. that wasn't healthy for me and it didn't take long for it to take it's toll on every facet of my life.

eventually i snapped out of it and now i'm in the process of pulling it the fuck together. lets face it, life doesn't stop and wait around for you to get over a broken heart. it keeps on going. needless to say i have a lot of life to catch up on.

these photos are from a photoshoot i did with the musical duo known as "a pause in the desert" from jacksonville, florida. what a pleasure it's been working with these guys. we met up one day, walked around town, grabbed a bite to eat, had some whiskey and just familiarized ourselves with one another... all infront of the lens of my yashica a.

i'm going up to jax beach this weekend to shoot them once more - hopefully with better lighting this time. i will be posting a lot more of the shoot and also additional info about the band.
