The Official Blog of Studio J Photography bio picture

Welcome!

So this is my chance to tell you how totally cool I am, but honestly I'm not sure if I can really sum up myself in two or three paragraphs.  Let's start with the basics.

I love the sound that the shutter makes when I take a photograph, especially when there are really cool people on the other side of the lens.

I deny any conversations that take place before my first cup of coffee.

I love a glass of 18-year-old scotch, almost as much as a glass of chocolate milk.

I love making people love how they look in photos. I love to travel and experience new places.

I love that last bit of milk in the bottom of the cereal bowl.

I love life's simple pleasures.  I love life's not so simple pleasures.

I love sushi.  Lots and lots of sushi.

I love movies, especially ones by Tarantino.

I think TV shows on DVD is one of the 20th century's best inventions.

New York, New York

Monday, June 29, 2009 Posted in Personal Work

…the city so nice they named it twice.
Any of you who follow my twittering will know that I spent last Sunday in NYC. I really did love the city. It is amazing, not as amazing to me as Paris, and I loved it.
I didn’t get close to seeing even a significant part of the city,...

For now, I wanted to share a couple more...

Day 18 – My Hot Air Balloon Adventure

Wednesday, January 21, 2009 Posted in Personal Work

Wow.  So as my time in Phoenix was ending, I decided to take advantage of an opportunity to do something that I’ve always wanted to do…ride in a hot air balloon.
The morning was absolutely perfect.  The skies were blue and the weather was incredible.  We rode for over an hour and then had an awesome...

Day 16 – More Musings

Monday, January 19, 2009 Posted in Personal Work

Ok.  Some more random musings and an image from last week.
Musing 1.  It is an amazing thing to actually have the weather be consistent for a week.  Being able to wake up in the morning and know that the weather will be pretty much the same as the day before was awesome. 
Musing 2.  I am...

Ok.  So I’m about to post the images from the dinner we all shared on Thursday night, but I have to show you a few images I took for me once we got to Bordeaux.  Bordeaux is a gorgeous city that combines old world architecture with new world style for a truly fun experience.
I saw all...

Paris Day Two

Wednesday, September 10, 2008 Posted in Personal Work

Ok.  So I’m still up really late because I have so much that I am processing mentally and photographically.  Tomorrow, Darius and I board the train to Bordeaux.
I’ll make the chatter brief.  Here’s a quick recap.  Today, I saw the Louvre, Notre Dame, Pompidou, and a lot of side streets and random places.
And now on...
