Clayton and Kelly Graff

Another fun wedding! But I was actually in this one... Awesome day in Rancho Palos Verdes.

New Art Projects

I'm working on a few new art projects. I was just back in Billings for an art show at the Yellowstone Country Club. The show was great and I wanted to put up a few videos of some of my new work. I finally got a chance to produce a freestanding waterfall that is portable and height adjustable. It's also built on a curve! The idea is that the viewer shouldn't be able to take in the whole image all at once. Future pieces will be bigger and more curved so that when you're standing in the middle of the image you'll be fully immersed in the scene in front of you. The video should make a little more sense. The waterfall in the image is called Mossbrae Falls. It's in northern CA and the image you see in the video is made of nearly 300 images so the resolution is tack sharp all the way through. It could actually be printed somewhere around 40 feet long without any loss of resolution!

Ellis Wedding

Super Fun Wedding!!!

I had a great time at this one. Katie and David were very easy to work with and the grounds of the house were great for photos.

These are some of my favorite jumping pictures!

More Wedding Fun

Ryan and Bonnie Fox were great! We were all a little nervous about the weather. The day was super hot and there were huge storm clouds on the horizon. It looked like the whole outdoor thing might not really work out.

About a half an hour before the ceremony the wind started blowing harder and the rain started coming down... For about 15 minutes the rain came down hard but just like that it cleared up. The temperature dropped down to a pleasant level and it smelled amazing. The ceremony went off without a hitch. The rest of the night was perfect. It rained a little later but it didn't stop anybody on the dance floor!

Kelley and Kile's Wedding

I had a great time hanging out with Kelley and her family in Virginia for her wedding. The house was beautifully restored and actually housed a general during the civil war. We really lucked out with the weather and had a beautiful day all around. Here's some pics from the settup the day before the wedding.


The ceremony was beautiful but I really liked the shots we got after. The light was beautiful and the old trees really gave the place a nice ambience.



Kelleys mom got a trampoline just for these shots. Lots of fun!


We had a great party the night before the wedding. Kelley was the life of the party and a wonderful hostess. Here's a couple shots of everybody spassing out on the dance floor. Good times...

Aspens in the Bridgers

All the leaves are changing color again. It's amazing how fast the summer has flown by! I wish the fall could last longer. I'll be out shooting all week trying to find the most beautiful fall foliage.

In Search of Green Things

I know I'm way over due to put up a blog but man o man have I made a mess for myself! After my last show I packed up the van and headed north along the coast. It's been a few months and I have another 7,500 miles on the van and a little over 60,000 new pics. It's been a nightmare trying to organize and process everything... But after everything I'm really happy with the resulting images. Here's a few of them. The more I travel the more I'm amazed by the gorgeous wet places we have here in the states.

Beverly Hills Art Walk

This was my 5th Affaire in the Gardens Show in Beverly Hills and it was the best one yet! We had a great turnout and I sold more than half of the pieces I was showing!!! Here's a couple pics of the booth. I have video that I'm trying to figure out how to upload as well so that will be up shortly. Thanks to everyone that came out and supported my work, I look forward to seeing you all again at future shows.

Waterfalls

I'm finally starting my waterfall book project!!! I'm scouring California to find all all of her magical waterfalls. Over the next few weeks I'm going to try to find around 50 waterfalls to shoot. I already have about 15 and it's turning into a rather amazing adventure. I'm living in a van so I'm completely mobile! What a great way to see the world...

Spring in So Cal

Over the course of the last few weeks I've seen some pretty amazing sights. I've been driving all over. Up the coast and over to Yosemite. Everything is alive with color. All the grass is emerald green and the flowers are ridiculous. I can't wait to start the big drive back to Montana and start organizing all of these pics. I'll be leaving LA in about a week and spending about 2 weeks on the road. Here's a couple screenshots to sample what's to come.

Stilleto

This is for a new campaign for The Orchid Group. We're planning on using these for a new web site that's up and coming.

Spring in Los Angeles

I've been back in LA now for about 2 weeks. The gallery show is going great! Lots of good feedback and I'm meeting some cool people. I've been shooting quite a bit on this trip as well so here are a few screenshots of what I'm working on.

The hills are alive with green. It's been a wet winter and everything is starting to explode with growth.

There's even quite a bit of lupine flowering in the hills right now. It's still pretty early in the season for much else.

G2 Gallery Show

Here's some pics of my progress for my upcoming art show. I'm showing these at the G2 Gallery in Venice Beach CA on the 27th of March! I'll have around 20 framed images ready by the time the show rolls around. I'm doing everything by myself, this is the first time I haven't used a framer to produce a show for me! Progress has been touch and go. Two steps forward and one step back but the persistence is starting to pay off and I'm gradually streamlining my process.


These first pics are a set of macro orchid photos. They float inside the seamless frames.

Glammis

This was an awesome trip! Me and Brit had a great time and amazing weather. We really lucked out and got to the dunes before they were all tracked up by ATV's.












While Brit was running from one dune to another I had time to shoot some portraits of the sand. It was spectacular to watch the patterns change as the sun rose!
