Sunday's March for Peace

This past weekend, in cities across the nation, anti war demonstrations and marches were held in an effort to spark our nation to action. Small but nessesary steps toward peace. As I am currently in Los Angeles, I attended and shot the march.

Here are just a few of my favorite images. Enjoy!

Who Am I...?


Hello and welcome to my blog. Im a guy who is married to the most wonderful woman in the world. Someone who loves me, and accepts me even when im just plain impossible to deal with. She is the person responsible for who I am today... better, more loving and growing in patience each day. I love you Sheila!


Im a father to an incredible daughter who every day reminds me why the sacrifices we make for our children... aren't really that hard to handle. She is smart, witty and has the best sence of humor. I think she gets it from me.


I am truly blessed to have her in my life. If you think you dont know the meaning of life?... Look into the eyes of your child and tell me you dont see it right there in front of you. I love you Madison. Thank you for being who you are. I so look forward to continuing to watch you grow into the amazing person that you already are.

I am a Photographer. I wasnt always as I used to be a musician, my wife I can thank for this. It was because of her dream which became reality that gave life to the passion I have now. Where there was once music in my life, imagery now flourishes.

Of all the things in the world that there is to shoot, I love people most. There is such color and hues in people. Characters that cry to be let loose from the confines of the every day facade's that we put on. Personalities that exist if even only for a fraction of a second. I try to capture that essence and commit it to frame.

Who am I?..... the luckiest guy in the world. My life is grand!

Cheers

Ready to Blog... here I come!!

Hey There,

Well I'm making the plunge into the world of Blogs. As Some may know, I spend alot of time away from my family working in the film and television business. In addition as a freelance portrait photographer, I spend an equal amount of time selling my services and fine art as JLSPHOTOWORKS both in Washington State and California.

Being inspired by my best freind, my confidant & my wife (yes they are all three one and the same) I've watched her post and have alot of fun with the blogs. At her persuasion, Im joining in.

For my foray into blogdom, I will be posting portraits, images and journalism that I do during the course of my travels. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I do making them.

Thanks for visiting and feel free to leave a comment.

cheers!

Justin
