Space

These photos were taken using a slide projector and an LED projector and the amazing artist Justin Caruso! The background photos are astronomy photos and and a fancy bed. Psychedelic....

Bones

These are the next two pictures in my series. Thanks to Nic and a deceased deer, some great portraits were made. This is also my first attempt with using my new Alienbees 800 strobe professional lights! The red light was made by using an Alienbee with a red gel and a honeycomb grid.

Mask

New photo up! All of the portraits I will be doing including this one and glitter will be apart of one whole project/theme. Isn't this one creepy? Well good! That's the way I like it.
And btw, his face is not photoshoped in. Who do you think I am?

Glitter!

New photos up of a project that I just worked on!... including my awesome friend Carlyn, glitter, glue and a bath tub. I am so excited about these. I think they turned out absolutely stunning.

Adornamental!

Adornamental was an awesome experience. I was asked to do a performance piece the opening night of the show. I had to stand there, without moving, without talking, in huge heels for two hours straight. Painful, but fun!

Photographer's Forum

I found out the other day that my photograph is a finalist in the Photographer's Forum Annual Photography Contest. It will be published in the Best of Photography 2010 hardback book!

The Beginning

So, I am making this blog so everyone can see what I am currently up to. It will be mostly my artwork so you can see who I am and what I do, and maybe some other artists in their so you can see where my inspiration comes from. Hope you enjoy.
Please comment on my work, constructive criticism and and complements are welcome.
