Adaptations: Deviation from tradition

Something just a little different for me. Somewhat of a work in progress in the genre of digital graphic manipulations. Enjoy.

Drum circles & Ferris Wheels

Drum Circles on the beach. Tribal sounds that allure people from all walks of life to join in, stand around and enjoy or participate in the ritual dancing that drums seem to awaken in some.

A day in the life: Venice Beach, CA 7-4-08

Work has been crazy here in LA. I have'nt shot so much as a blank frame in over 2 months. For the 4th, I decided to crawl out of the security and comfort of an air conditioned apartment, and brave the cost of fuel and headed down to Venice beach with my little brother for a bit of a walk about and people watching. This year, being away from Sheila and Madison, I didnt even shoot any fireworks. Just not the same not being with them for a holiday. Just another day in the life as it were.


In tribute to my wife who is currently taking a course in Photography, I salute you Sheila with a few shots of "Day in the Life on Venice Beach" inspired by your recent assignment. I know your assignments can be ambiguous in the text explainations. Its a difficult thing to learn in this fashion when the face to face dialogue is removed from the virtual classroom. Remember that this is an education about photography as it pertains to the science of it. The creative expression and interpretation is a path you develpe on your own. You cant break the rules untill you know them. Im sure there are many things to be said in regards to my visual presentation when it comes to composition. LOL
