Weekend in Palm Springs.

A couple weeks ago I went to a friends wedding in Palm Springs. It was so nice to get away for a long weekend. I had every intention of just chilling out, but I had to rent a car and drive to the desert. It was so much fun driving solo in the middle of nowhere, and I eventually made it to Roy’s on route 66 which was a place I always wanted to see. The drive there was so amazing through all the mountains. The main goal after all that was to take a flower double exposure in Los Angeles and take the second photo here in Detroit. I somehow pulled it off exactly how I wanted but i’ll have to show that at another time! Such a great trip, congrats Donald & Annie! Below are some of my favorite shots taken with my F100 & Portra400.

Psych Blues Test Film #5/6.

I was super hyped to find out Psych Blues was releasing a new “test” film. It’s a combination of numbers 5 and 6. I couldn’t wait to try it out as i’m a big fan of all the other films he has. Here are a few of my favorites from the first two rolls I shot. I highly recommend to try it out!

2020 MC Photo Annual.

I was really hyped to find out this photo got runner up in the 2020 Monster Children photo contest. I am always happy to get a photo in their magazine as it is one of my favorites because of the size, paper, and content. To me, it combines art, music, and action sports in a great way. The 2020 photo annual has some really great stuff in it and I feel it documents what the world went through last year. I also really like that you can choose between two different cover photos.

The day that I took this photo was near the beginning of covid and I would have normally been at work at this time of day. I was at my moms then I decided to go back home and once I got back to Detroit I noticed a big cloud of smoke. I had my camera with me so I figured i’d see whats up. The fire was at a vacant apartment building near La Salle Gardens. I shot a bunch of photos with my Nikon F100, 70-200 lens, and Kodak Portra 400. If you go back a few posts you’ll see “fire in la salle gardens” I posted all the photos there. I was really happy with the results. Taking fire department photos would be a dream job.

35mm Double Exposures.

Since covid I have been taking tons of pictures and working on a bunch of different personal projects. However most of my time is spent trying new 35mm double exposures. It’s super fun and even when I don’t get it right it is fun to keep learning and trying different ways to make it work. I want to have a show on the concept whenever the world is back to normal but for now here are a few that I have posted already. Enjoy.

Psych blues #6

Shot some of the new Psychadelic Blues Film #6. If you know me you know I love all his films and I was anxious to shoot the new one. Here’s a few favorites from my first roll.

Stay Safe Detroit.

Rode my bike and skateboard around downtown a couple different days over the last two weeks to see how it looked. Never thought I’d see it this empty again, but we need that. Shot with Minolta x-700 / Portra 800, and Nikon f100 / Portra 400. Stay safe everyone!

New Stuff.

Here’s some end of 2019 beginning of 2020 stuff that I got published in skate jawn & north. Stay safe!

Lawton Street Fire.

Randomly came across a fire on Lawton street at a house i’ve photographed numerous times. Hyped to shoot some psych blues film at a fire finally.
