NYC

My first trip out to New York was incredible!! I had five meetings this week. I received tons of positive feedback regarding my work and great suggestions as to how it can be improved. I am so grateful to the photo editors who took the time out of their busy schedules to meet with me. Meeting with them gave me so many ideas for future shoots.

As for New York itself, I am completely enamored. What an incredibly vibrant city! I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge Wednesday morning and just felt so inspired and invigorated by the site of Manhattan.

I hope to be back out there soon!

Happy Halloween: Michael Garlington

In school, I took a photo class with Michael Garlington. His photos are creepy and ironic. Check out his site for more incredible work.

"Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I'm going to take tomorrow"- Imogen Cunningham

This quote speaks volumes to how I feel about my work. I have the urge to push it further, make more meaningful images. I am happy how far I have come with my photography, but I still think my best work is yet to come. So stay tuned and continue to visit my site to see what I am working on!

I am getting very excited for my trip to New York City! How appropriate that this image is on PDN Photo of the Day this week. Photo credit belongs to Mark Davidson.

Wendy Bevan

I have a major photo crush on Wendy Bevan. Her work is so lovely and haunting. Her "About" section sums her work up beautifully: "Her rich and painterly Polaroid's draw us into a world of ambiguity and uneasy narratives. Perusing her portfolio one is led through a labyrinth of old film sets in which silent performances are taking places." Such a beautiful summation to her work!

Rest and Relaxation

I left town for a long weekend to one of my favorite spots, Pismo Beach. I got the rest I needed as this week will be a busy one getting ready for my first visit to New York City!
