I strive to make an impact - Good or Bad. I want people to stop and look, to think, and connect with me - all without me saying a single word. I AM my photograph.

When all Hell breaks loose, I make it work

Lighting Essentials' Project 52:
Assignment 1: Vision Statement

Hi All, it has been a while since I've done a self portrait. Like a *true* Zee Self-Portrait.

I've started Don Giannatti's Project 52. I figured it was time - since I have been following his blog Essentials for Photographers aka Lighting Essentials for about two years now. I've missed being conceptually creative.

So for 2012 I'm going back to my roots, shooting things that make me happy, finding some time to do "me" things.

I'm behind on the project (obviously) since the first critique is tomorrow (yikes!) but it's now or never!

Here's to a good 2012, where I find myself again, get back to what I really want to do with my photography - make a difference. And to do that, I first must make an impact. ;)

Until next time.... I may or may not blog this, but you should probably go check out the blog for good stuff

and for all you strobist people: one AB800 1/16 shoot thru white umbrella camera right, camera on remote release with HVL56FM triggering at 1/32 zoomed 50mm. Post work done in CS5

P.S. I have been listening to Maroon 5's Never Gonna Leave this Bed since the beginning of this project, it seemed fitting to grab some inspiration from them.

P.S.S. that's my living room wall - its large, white and pretty legit for studio work ;)

Many of you may recognize Ms. Whitney of Whitney Shoots Photography

yes yes we are BIG fans of her. Many of you may not know that Whitney and I met when we were both 16! We use to work together and we started getting serious in our photography right around the same time.

My how much we both have grown. It was so nice to finally meet up with her again, talk photography and talk life - how they both just changed for both of us.

Whitney is going to be such a great mother and I can't wait to see all the beautiful photos of baby Reagan!!!

Congratulations Whitney Shoots Photography!!

More to be posted later in the week on the blog

A few weeks ago I had hosted a private workshop for the FGCU photography students at one of my favorite places: Koreshan State Park. Joining us was Kerry and the ever lovely and easy to work with Anya!

There are some really nice photos floating around somewhere on here, definitely will be highlighting my favorites once I have more time.

This year's photography season is a prolific one! (not complaining). We have been so busy and it's freaking awesome. I have so many shoots left to blog and talk about, so I best get going on that.

If you want to see more from this shoot and how awesome it was: check out the blog
