No time for photography lately :( . It's been all work and gym for the last 6 months or so. I WILL get back at it if it kills me though!!!

In the mean time... I was getting bored with the traditional Android desktop so I decided to change the UI up. Was too lazy to browse the net for pictures to make a theme out of so I just used my own. Gonna refine everything later on. In the mean time its almost like having a new phone :D

Here's a throwback that I really liked but never uploaded.

O HAI. I hope everyone has been doing well. I finally come with new offerings. Not really one for glamour shoots but thats what i get for setting up a shoot that wasn't really planned. Least I got to work with a body of water for the first time in quite some time. I was going for one thing this shoot. Vivid and colorful. Ignoring the strip club atmosphere, I think I did okay.. xD

D90 | 20mm | f/5 | ISO200

Strobist: SB-24 through white umb literally touching my right arm, SB-600 10 o'clock with pink gel. Fired with CyberSyncs.

Felt like I was overdue for a good ol b&w shot. I dunno what it is but something about this shot makes me really enjoy it. So much so that I've actually considered blowing it up and throwing it up on the wall.

I realize There hasn't been much going on in my stream the last few months. Life just hasn't allowed me the opportunities I was hopping to. Never fear though! I have a few things in the works right now and I also made a promise to myself to get behind the camera more whether there is a model or not. I don't want to be known as one of those photographers who only photograph women. Honestly this is probably part of the reason I haven't put more effort into putting shoots together. Ya so... Enough rambling.. Enjoy the shot!

OH! one more small rant... People on this site have a nasty habbit of suggesting crops regardless of the photographers intent. And for those people I say this... In MOST cases, tight crops are boring and repetitive. Zoom out... work the surroundings into the shot. Its called depth people. :) /rant

D90 | 17mm | f/2.8 | ISO250

Strobist: SB-24 into DIY Dish on stand held high with my right hand. Fired with CyberSyncs.

Shadows On Black?

Here's another. Wanted to try something a little different with the lighting and atmosphere. The idea in my head was what you cant see is just as important as what you can. Dunno if that got translated through the shutter.

D90 | 17mm | f/4 | ISO320

Strobist: Sunpak 433D w/ blue gel & 40° grid fair camera right. Fired w/ Alienbees CyberSync Triggers.
