What is your muse?
What inspires you? Is it a place, or a person, or a time of day?
Every day, I have been trying to create. Create something. Anything at all, but it is imperative that I do it every day, or it seems that I am bound to explode. Whether it is take my camera out on a bike ride, or down the lonely streets of my midnight neighborhood, I keep looking for new bits of inspiration.
Tell me about y…

Subtle Rose
Harsh words befit your heart
Twisted by savage thorn
Entwined by a beguiling dark art
Leaving Godly thoughts unborn
Still the light that shines through you

The wierdest place i've ever gone for a photo...
Now, this might be a better topic for the forums… but I thought I would start this discussion as a blog and people can tell me what they think.
Over the past couple of days… I have been contemplating where I have gone and what I have done to get the perfect picture. Sadly… I haven’t gone trekking into the jungles of the Amazon or climbed into the sewers of Paris, but I have gone to gre…
Fantastic Poem!!
Here is a fantastic Poem by Pablo Neruda…
And because Love battles
And because love battles
not only in its burning agricultures
but also in the mouth of men and women,
I will finish off by taking the path away
to those who between my chest and your fragrance
want to interpose their obscure plant.
About me, nothing worse
they will tell you, my love,
than what I told you.

New and improved t-shirt!!
So, I’ve cranked out my second t-shirt… and I’m really pleased with it. It was inspired by the ONE Campaign to end poverty in Africa.
Spread the Love!
New lens...
So, I just bought a new lens for my Canon 30D. I bought the camera with a Quantaray 55-200 mm, but sadly it broke while a was attempting to take a picture of the moon. (Long story, my tripod was less than stable…) Anywho, I am very excited to receive my Canon EF 50 mm f/1.8II very shortly. Recently, I have been shooting on a Canon Powershot A630, and I love it, but I am totally looking forwar…
Gahhhhhh!!! I've designed my first t-shirt...
So, with the help of Adobe Illustrator, I created my first simple t-shirt design. Though it may be simple, i see it as simply a stepping block to bigger and better things, and I would love any feedback people care to give after seeing it. Thanks!
So, i'm sadly addicted...
Ok everyone, I’m at the office, and I’m supposed to be working, but I’d rather be checking up on all the amazing photography and creativity pouring out of red bubble… crap. I’m totally addicted.
Why take photography?
I’ve been asking myself this question for a while… why am I so interested in capturing my surroundings in the shuddering of a shutter lens? Is it that I fear that I will forget these moments? i don’t know…
I think it has to do with finding examples of perfection along this safari of life, so that I can prove to myself that this struggle isn’t in vain. I take photographs so that these mom…
