Silhouettes

  • Jun 25, 2009
  • Post a comment

I've been casually working on a series of silhouettes.  I haven't gone into full-on Silhouette Project mode yet, but I have been paying a bit more attention to the silhouette photo opportunities around me.  I took some silhouette shots of Brandy hooping about a month-and-a-half ago (just look a few posts down the page) and thought they came out kinda cool.  So, I decided to shoot some others on our trip to Topsail Island a few days ago.

Here's my favorite, and don't forget to give it a couple of click to see the larger shot:

Photo shoot on Wednesday

I haven't posted in over a month, but I really haven't missed it.  Maybe that isn't the best thing to type, but it's true.  Oh well, my love-hate relationship with Vox (and blogs in general) will continue.

I had a couple of photos shoots on Wednesday.  Here are some of the photos from my shoot with Melissa.

Crazy Weather

The Triangle had some pretty nasty thunderstorms in the early evening on Tuesday. I was on the road from Garner to Raleigh and caught this shot with my camera phone.

Hoop Photography

  • May 4, 2009

We had a little time on our hands today, so we took a quick trip to Pullen Park in Raleigh.  Brandy hooped, and I took pictures.  Come to think of it, that's kind of the story of our lives.

You know the deal, give the pictures a couple of clicks to see more detailed shots.

Goodfellas

I'm at Goodfellas in Wilmington, hanging out with people I don't know. The highlight of the GF trip has been the bathroom decorations. I came in here to pee. But I think they may be encouraging other activities.

Fire! Fire!

  • Apr 20, 2009
  • Post a comment

Well, I don't post on Vox for a while and then, Bam!, three posts in 24 hours.

While watching television about an hour ago, Brandy and I heard sirens.  We didn't think much about it at first, but the sirens kept going... and then got closer... MUCH closer.  There was a fire in our building!  The lady downstairs and to the left of us had a kitchen fire while she was sleeping.  She woke up, smelled smoke, then saw the flames.  She sleeps naked (she informed me of this while the firemen were entering our building), so she grabbed the closest thing and put it on.  I am only sharing this fact with you because it was a bit surreal to see her outside wearing an evening dress.  She also has a daughter around eight-years-old.  They both got out safely.

I learned a long time ago that rescuers rescue, onlookers look-on, and photographers photograph.  Guess which one I am.  Then guess what I did.  If you aren't sure, I provided photographs to help you decide.  =)

By the way, the firefighter pointing at me was not upset with me for taking pictures.  He was simply asking me a question about my condo.

Oh, as always, give each picture a couple of clicks to get to the larger photo.

Photos at last

It has been quite a while since I updated Vox with any actual photography.  I haven't had much time to shoot, so all of my updates have been camera phone shots.  Back on April 1st, however, I did take a trip out to Topsail Island to snap a few shots.  My friend Malia recently opened an art gallery/gift shop there and we decided I should hang a few pieces.  Instead of using some older work, I decided to shoot new stuff.  Here are the three that are now hanging at Galleria Tropicale:
