Some of the work I have done this year I haven't been using tumbler that much. I have been busy and life has it's obstacles. I meet a lot of new people who have helped me se light and locations differently. Been shooting more film and trusting my skills I have learn in the years I have been shooting. so before this year ends I'll share it with you all

I was able to shoot with a very talented photographer who I admire his work. Luke Copping is a down to earth, knowledgeable person who I feel was a big help in me finding more confidence. We assisted each other in a no pressure shoot were we both had ideas and approached them by building off each other’s idea. I enjoyed shooting with him and expressing or art and talents with each other.

Work of mine that was published. It's a start to a long road it just helps me know that I'm heading in the right direction.

Roid-Rage some of my instant love. There is something about the art of film, and even so the art of instant film it's magic in the works. and you only get one chance and you can't edit it.

With the help of my friend and the lovely roarieyum whom I have come to call friend, here is a piece to a project that I have been working on for a little while.​

A project I have been working on and have finally had time to work on. It involves me setting up a shoot with my mamiya RZ67 then developing part of the image, and finally paint over it

Among the millions of blogs on Tumblr, only a small number are contributors of original content: “the world’s creators”

And if you’ve ever looked at Tumblr’s Explore Page you might notice that Photography is oddly absent.

There’s #design, #art, #architecture and even #artists on tumblr — but no mention of anything related to the art of taking pictures with a camera. Even #film is a trap — it’s for movies, not analog photography!

We don’t think this situation is acceptable. So let’s Fight it.

We’d like to ask all original photographers on Tumblr to start putting the #photographers on tumblr tag on every single photo you post.

Photographers deserve more recognition among the Creators on Tumblr. Hopefully, by using this tag we’ll help the entire community of Tumblr photographers get noticed — and maybe one day we will see that tag on the Tumblr Explore page too.

Reblog this post and spread the word.

Sincerely, Lensblr

An idea that has been in the works for months, I tried to focus on the idea of lack of focus. How contour plays a role a long with color.

I spent sometime with some good people. It has been a nice day and I couldn't let go to waste, got one of my stranger photos in and some great shoots of my friends. All in all it was a good day. Sadly the rest of the week might rain, but I like rain so it might be nice.

In time i will catch up my 100 Strangers project here, just haven't made time.

I have some people who want to get their pictures takin', so far it's all personal work, but I need stuff in my portfolio, so it's welcomed, I have some takers for paid work, but seems people want to wait till later in the semester, but I have have been practicing with myself portraits i just wish I had some work, but kind of not i need to get somethings down to being a no brainer. I sometimes make silly mistakes and i'm still chimpin' (correcting mistakes that so be no brainers) but i have tools to cut editing down gray card, and light meter. I'm looking forward to this scouting locations with a local friend. Here's to a good year
