from the shoot with wes sumner. i've always wanted to photograph in the downtown library. thankfully there was a lot of interior and natural light, also wes helped me gauge the exposure settings with his digital camera, so the shots actually came out pretty clear. apparently i need a light meter... among other things.

i think what i love most about these photos is the mood. i can't quite put my finger on it... it's not exactly cheery nor is it completely sinister. the first frame reminds me of some old french foreign film - casually saturated with jewel tone colors and subtle highlights.

i still have another roll of film to develop which i am super hyped about. there was a lot of experimenting that day and if the next roll is anything like the first, then i will be doing cartwheels around the parking lot of CPH.

also, more polaroid portraits to come.

night night.

past weekend i had the pleasure of shooting with atlanta's photo extraordinare wes sumner.

we explored orlando's "urban" scene and jumped right into photoshoot mode, which still kinda cracks me up... and with 6 or 7 cameras between the both of us, this meet-up could certainly be classified as an official nerd-out.

the photos above were taken at lake eola, in the center of downtown orlando. i must admit i was very pleased when the rain clouds came rolling over head and even though it cut most of our outside time in half, within the few minutes before the onslaught of rain, we were both able to snap a few shots in the "pre-storm" soft light.

there are more photos to come of this adventure. these just happen to be my favorites.

standing

in the vacant field a few blocks from my apartment i focused with concentration. morgan's patience was astounding. the tall summer grass reached up from the earth and tickled the backs of my legs; just another distraction i blocked out as i pressed my finger on the shutter release button. with lips parted and a stillness in the air, the moment was captured.
