Jerico's Art Show Santa Barbara

One of the fun things about being a photographer is that I sometimes get to help out a friend.

Jerico Woggon is just getting back into the business, so he doesn't have all the design crapola from Adobe, but I do, so he called on me.

This is what we came up with.

Been There, Done That - Paris Photo LA 2015

At the beginning of the month of May, Paris Photo LA was a thing. Given that this was only its second year (and some folks think that last year's inaugural was a little rocky), I thought it went off pretty well. I saw a bunch of the usual shit but also some really outstanding stuff.

My friend found some inspiration and instruction on how to do portraits right. I made some snaps.

Here we see a group of picture hunters taking a break on a fake New York stoop, one of the Paramount Pictures back lots hosting the show.

Exhibiting at the Month of Photography LA

In conjunction with the Month of Photography LA, I'll be exhibiting at the Fathom Gallery in downtown Los Angeles. Many of the other photographers on hand are counted as legends and giants of the wonderful world of photography. I am proud and truly humbled to be exhibiting in their company.

Exhibition

In association with the Los Angeles Downtown Art Walk News, I will be showing selected prints at the historic landmark Earnest A. Batchelder Chocolate Shop at 220 W. 6th Street in downtown LA, Sept 11, 2014.

Took in the Getty last week and thought I'd play architectural photographer for a minute or two, so I snapped a few pictures. 

Other than applying lens correction in Adobe Camera Raw 7.0 to reduce distortion (and a tiny amount of chromatic aberration) these images are printed straight, using the camera's setting of neutral calibration and Adobe RGB (1998).
