A few weeks ago, I did a studio photoshoot for my friend Lauren and her new daughter, Tiffany. The shot I posted on that day was pretty awesome, but there were plenty of other good ones as well, and now they’re ready. Have a look!

I woke up this morning at about 6am and decided to use that to get a jump on the day and do something I’ve wanted to for a while now, which was to do a photowalk of the downtown area before the city had really woken up. So I quickly threw on some clothes, put the wide-angle lens on my Canon, and drove downtown. The near absence of cars, pedestrians, and activity was fun to experience, and it’s easier to feel less self-conscious when there’s no one around to wonder what I’m up to.

The Last of Us is a video game for the PlayStation system that came out last year and has been regarded by many as masterpiece. Like many games, it’s set in a post-zombie-apocalypse, but unlike many others, it’s acclaimed as an artistic achievement for its gripping story and deep characterization. Having heard of its depressing and oppressive nature, (even compared to being like a video game version of Cormac McCarthy’s harrowing novel The Road) I’ve been a bit intimated by it and never gotten around to checking it out.

It’s often nice to give a photo a title, and sometimes it can add a lot. But other times, I like to just let the image speak for itself.

I really like the name of this cider. It was pretty good, too! Very dry, which was a nice change of pace from most ciders which are usually rather sweet.

I was down in Solvang for the weekend for a friend’s birthday party, and today, a few of us went over to the nearby playground. Which happens to be one of the coolest playgrounds I’ve ever seen. It’s got all sorts of walkways, towers, bridges, and even a viking ship!

The texture and complimentary colors here are what really drew me towards photographing this.
