Stirling-Film

I love shooting Stirling, and I haven't been able to in a while. We went exploring in a unique looking neighborhood by her house. Here's a few shots that I loved!

Enjoy! :)

Witchy Woman, She's Got the Moon In Her Eyes

Rachael and I reunited and had a much needed photo shoot. Weather in Arizona has been crazy and unusual this Winter, including lots of rain, fog, and even snow! The highs have been in the 50s during the day. It's a much appreciated change from the usual 70 degree Winter that I'm used to. It was rainy and cold when Rachael and I went and shot under an old bridge near the ASU campus. She was such a trouper posing in the cold weather. As always, Rachael was a pleasure to shoot. Enjoy.


Oh, some of these photos I just didn't like in color, so quite a few of them are in black and white. All are shot digitally. 

Let All Who Breathe

the art of letting go

The art of letting go.

I read somewhere that the realization that death awaits quickly puts man back into his place. The examination of the fleeting essence of the material nature of this life and how this relates to creation and living is the main component of this work. The struggle that comes with this realization is what causes this tension within my soul. I seek to create this tension within my photos through the materials I choose and the interactions they have with my body. The materials serve as a remembrance to what we are created from and what we will return to. The images record an emotional and spiritual process represented physically; the tension between the physical desire to hold on to the material, and the deeper, spiritual desire to let go.
