Another look at street fashion, Gaga style…

I’ve been noticing a lot more reporting – both on blogs and in traditional print – on street fashion lately. Maybe because I’ve recently become more in tune with its coverage, or maybe because it is becoming a hot trend… either way, I figured I would post another installment of my “shot on the street” fashion pics.
The first image is a tear sheet from the DMN of an actual street fashion assignment I shot for them. It was covering the outrageous fashion seen outside the recent Lady Gaga concert at American Airlines Center. The other pics are out takes I snapped on my own. I especially liked the lightening bolt shoes!




1am in Dallas…

It seems like you can often find me at a nightclub here in Dallas in the middle of the night. I see a lot of fun and interesting things as the clock nears 2am and the music is still thumping. Here’s a recent shoot I did for an international beverage company, capturing the nightlife scene here in Texas…




More Fashion…

Here’s another recent fashion image I took. This is the shot the client liked best. There were a couple others I also liked, but the client always has the final say!

My recent DMN work…

I thought I’d share a few tear sheets from recent shoots I did that ran in the Dallas Morning News. It’s a variety of subjects, including some Toadies, Trey Songz, community dance, American Idol winners in concert and children painting…




Shooting 4×5 film…

I’m enjoying shooting some film again. The 4×5 film looks great, too. I can’t wait until I have my 11×14 film camera up and running! Large format film photography is fun…

Ted…

Another area photographer suggested that I check out Ted.com for some of the interesting lectures by award-winning photographers. The website is not just about photography, but there are a handful of photogs on there worth checking out:

Dreaming of Judi Dench…

I sometimes have very strange dreams, and last night was one of them. I had a dream that I was supposed to photograph Judi Dench for The Dallas Morning News. I often dream about photo-related themes, but nothing quite like the odd turn of events that took place in this dream. I think that Judi was part of my dream, because the wife and I often let the boys watch old episodes of The Muppet Show. I think she was the guest star on one of them.

I’m not going to go into detail about it, because it would take me forever to type out all the crazy events (and this blog is supposed to be about my REAL photo assignments). But, let me tell you, it was a long, odd evening of events – not unlike some of my real photo shoots!
