There’s nothing quite like slacklining with a good friend on a nice day in the Spring. That friend was Mr. David Tindle, and I can’t wait for our next slacklining session. I thought I’d bring out a few lights and see what I could make of our backyard session (I always like watching the sunset…
I’ve been toying around with the idea of getting into Architectural Photography, so I decided to photograph one of my favorite buildings here – the new(ish) Kauffman Center for Performing Arts in Downtown Kansas City. It really is a beautiful structure, and though I couldn’t get all the way into the actual performance hall (there…
I’m writing this from 40,000 feet above the earth, just barely grazing over a floor of clouds, and I’m feeling good. I didn’t really know what to expect from spending what little amount of money I had left in my savings on a crazy 10-day photography road trip through the Coffee Region of Colombia…
Today felt like the perfect end to a great photography trip. We ended up meeting Daniel, Keith, and a bunch of students from the Contacto School of Photography in the city of Salento, and they brought along Laura (one of our favorite models) as well as Angie (who did a fantastic job as well). Although…
We decided to hit the streets again today until we found something interesting, and that didn’t take long at all. Anytime you drive down a major road, chances are that you’ll see some military men dressed in full camouflage holding big ol’ guns, and that’s just what we found. They happened to be throwing out…
We arrived at a Finca in Santa Elena late last night and woke up to a parrot, some peacocks, and beautiful scenery. Our morning was a bit lazy and mostly consisted of editing photos, shooting video, and lounging around the Finca, but we soon gained momentum once we left. On the way into town, we…
We had a couple of models lined up for today, so we took our photo gear to the roof and set up shop there while many of the Contacto students got to watch. I mostly assisted Mikey today and got to see him work with professional models, which was great to witness firsthand. When there…
Today was a pretty relaxed day. We left the chilly city of Manizales and had our site set on Armenia, one of the main coffee region cities of Colombia. We decided to hit the streets of a few nearby cities that had a lot of character, mostly with natural light, a scrim, and reflector. We…
We arrived in Manizales last night and decided to dedicate today to editing photos, editing videos, blogging, resting, doing laundry, and running other random errands. I feel a bit off because I haven’t grabbed my camera at all today, but at the same time it feels nice to take a break since we’ve been going…
A few locals of Jardin recommended we check out the Gold Mines of Supia, so we added it to our list of places to check out. Mikey decided that I would be in charge of shooting everything today to see how I apply what I’ve learned over the past few days. There were so many…
