in process selfie...

Sadi and I spent some time walking around the Bishop Arts District in Oak Cliff over the Summer. After seeing the blue background, Sadi pulled out her cell phone and I pulled out my Leica M6. We both got photos, but my file is backed up with a negative...

muted tones...

One of the keepers from an expired roll of Portra 400 film that was shot in Tyler's Yashica Mat-124G camera. Love the muted tones from expired roll film. So glad Sadi let me capture this one...

my best friend...

Most of the time, my pictures on this blog are a way for me to document and bring awareness to the things that are important to me. That is why the majority of my photos involve portraits of people. That being said, the most important person to me that resides on this earth is my partner in this life, my companion/helper when I'm at my best and at my worst, easily someone that I proudly call my best friend. How lucky am I to get to call Sherri my wife and how lucky are we as a family to have her as the mother of our two girls.

Happy Mother's Day to my best friend...

pushing the limits

A photo of me taken indoors by the legendary Simon Ponder at the Gristmill in Gruene, TX during our lunch together. The photo was taken on my Leica M6 with a 50mm Cron lens. This roll was my first experiment with pushing Portra 400 film to ISO 800. Overall this made the photos grainier than I imagined it would be. They are still good photos, but nowhere near the detail of the Ektar 100 that I just processed before this. A great lesson in realistic expectations...
