Photographer, Developer, Graphic Designer
As some of you may (Or may not) know, I’ve been saving up and finally bought myself a new 5D Mk II Camera while I was out in Utah! And so, I present to you the first picture taken with this awesome new piece of precision equipment:
I’m going to have so much fun with this thing, watch out!

Why do I shoot?
It’s a question I often ask myself, and the answer has changed over the years, but I think it boils down to the challenge of creating. With photography there’s no limits, no end to the creative exploration, there’s always new ways to improve and better yourself. With the recent project I’ve started (Which you should take a look at here: http://www.project54.net) to take 50 pictures of 50 people over 50 days with a 50 mm lens I’ve realized two things: I’m becoming more comfortable around people with my photography (asking them to do this or that and to let me shoot their picture), and I’m shooting much than just the images for my project. Since moving out here to California I’ve slowed down and I really forgot the passion I do have for photography. It’s images like these from people that have never modeled or done any sort of photography before that make want to keep shooting.
So for your viewing pleasure, Chris the Accountant:

Every now again you just get the bug to do something.
Like taking self portraits.
And updating your twitter theme.

Finally, AT&T made their fashionably late entrance for the iPhone into the world of Multimedia Messaging Services, finally no more log-into-a-website-via-a-phone-web-browsers-with-an-autogenerated-username-and-password-to-see-pictures. Finally, I can stop banging my head against the wall when someone sends me a MMS!

Sometimes, you just have to take the picture. Don’t worry about the light, the position, the expression. You see something, click.
Since I have been rather lax lately in my photography I’ve started up a new project. 50 photos of 50 people over 50 days with a 50mm lens.
