Editing some old work and have been coming up on a few "in between shots" of some of my models. Some I think happen to be the strongest images. I know every photographer has these moments. Some shoot ONLY for those in between moments. Yet again, these images remind me why it's worth sitting back and admiring your surroundings. Besos todos.

Where's Waldo

Just another day out riding bikes out with mi amor Landerman. Life is all about those "fun" little surprises. Some times when I don't appreciate the ones tossed my way I make my own. Shot in San Francisco. Minor post other than a little color management and sharpening.

BOO!

Pin Me Up

The little one has always been a fan of Pin up Art. I'm definitely also a fan of Burlesque. You'll catch a quite a few images of my Burlesque friends up on my BLOG, considerably more than you will on the website. I've even been tempted to put together a little number myself. :)

Though my photo isn't quite your typical Pin-Up, the inspiration is still there. You'll see a pattern in my models' poses as well. This Image is most likely a beginning to a separate series. Image is shot Digitally against a white back drop. Model is flashed with a beauty disk, while wearing a white coat, loosing separation detail. I usually desaturate most my images. This image how ever is saturated to add pop.

Besos Todo mis amores!

*Kodak Film Grant*

Too much chocolate is excited to partner with Kodak in offering its first-ever film grant program, with submissions opening September 1st, 2009. This grant will provide 10 non-represented photographers with the film needed to execute a new or ongoing personal project, to be completed during 2010. This partnership aims to recognize strong project ideas from talented and emerging photographers, allowing them to fully realize a body of work that may not have been achieved otherwise. At the start of 2011, the recipients’ final projects will be brought together and exhibited through a variety of online, magazine, and gallery showcases.

Kodak Film Grant

Seeing Two

Image was shot last November.

Post was minimal, mostly using the masking tool. I had to enlarge the image to the left slightly because I placed the model a little too far from the camera.
Image is desaturated and skin is smoothed out and whitened. Oh how I love pale skin!
Final touches include adding Eye liner to the model(s) and saturating the flowers so they pop more.

This image was shot around last november.

Post included mostly just simple masks to give the illusion of twins.

Mexican Wall

Shot this during my most recent El Paso, TX trip.

"A little-noticed study the research service released in December notes that even the $49 billion does not include the expense of acquiring private land along hundreds of miles of border or the cost of labor if the job is done by private contractors -- both of which could drive the price billions of dollars higher."

Seriously Considering taking a short road trip with the Red Head Back down to El Chuco to not only get some more images of the Border, but to also work on some Stock of the SouthWest. Hoping to Travel with Slogan,( http://www.sloganart.com ). Have any great spots on the way down you think I'd like to capture, let the little one know. Greg you should come TOO.

Besos!
