fall. fallen. fell.

fall. fallen. fell. was on my way to work and saw a fallen leaf on the pavement with a footprint on it. above it was a tree with leafs just like it. being that my mind wanders off at any given moment at times i thought "at one point does one fall in love, is in love, and has fell in love. could mean different things, but in this case if u "fell" in love, does that mean you're not in love now? in any case, i thought there was great resemblance between the fallen leaf and the leaf still holding strong. enjoy.

ours.

ours. growing older and doing some exploring in the wine area, but i'm not good. two people talking over wine about whatever just seems like the thing to do. something about it is very romantic, very classy. a nice step outside the bars with shots, beer, jamie, and henny. as of late i've been feeling very grown and lucky to share some good company, old and new. enjoy.

second, time around.

second, time around. i noticed how time moves fast these days, but when you're least aware of it, it does moves incredibly slow too and vice versa. the best thing ever is when you're praying for time to move slow because you are in a moment that you do not want to end. we all know we have those times, and i like realizing it when it happens. you get really excited to spend more time with some one, or some thing. enjoy.

no other love.

no other love. my dad gave me this camera when i was like 8 yrs old. i never thought i'd have such a connection to it in my present years. this photo is actually connected to a song i heard today by estelle ft john legend entitled "no other love." while love is very universal i think its important for everyone to have something in their life where they can say "i never knew a love like this." for me, its through how i make a living, my craft and passion, film & photography. as soon as i peak through that viewfinder, its at that moment i feel like its where i'm supposed to be. i have a story to tell. this kicks off my fb album entitled "one a day." enjoy.

so i suck at blogging, i'm sorry.

a year later and i expect you to follow me? yea right i know, i'm truly sorry (as if anyone really follows though ha. all good).

being behind the camera is really a different experience. i've been groomed and educated with motion photography, video, film, or whatever you want to call it. over the past 3 years however, i've grown to love still photography as well. while telling stories through video for almost 8 years now, i can't help but feel like i'm telling stories with just one frame as opposed to millions. so, to stay engaged with my craft and continue learning alongside my film passion, i've decided to build a steady relationship with my still photo camera on a daily basis. i want to archive my thought process for each photo i take so i can recapture feelings, emotions, and intentions for each photo. its all for love though.

my goal here is to see if anyone will wonder, try and look closer, and more importantly potentially connect with me.
