On Display

Originally uploaded by Turchin Center for the Visual Arts


I currently have two photographs on display as part of a gallery exhibition. The gallery just sent out some photos of the entire exhibit and I found a couple which show off my photos. Here you can see my photograph 'Vintage photography.'

The exhibition it the Appalachian Alumni in the Arts Exhibition at the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts in Boone, NC.  http://www.turchincenter.org/exhibitions/149

My other photograph 'Lighting Sound' is hanging right above this photograph you can just see the bottom edge of that photograph in the upper right corner of this picture.

I think it is pretty cool that I have my photos on display. Also, if anyone is interested in purchasing these prints, they are both for sale for $112 each. 40% of the purchase price goes to support the Turchin Center.

Cheers,

Appalachian Alumni in the Arts Exhibition (Submissions)

'Vintage Photography'

'Discovery'

"Lighting Sound'

Just before Christmas I received an email calling for Appalachian State University alumni who are currently work in the visual arts, to submit entries for an Alumni art exhibition at the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts which is a gallery run by the University.  The images above are my 3 entries.  At least one will be selected for the exhibition.  The Selected images will be displayed as 10x15in. framed prints on metallic photographic paper.  

These three images represent a departure from the wedding and portrait photography that I have been doing lately, but are all images that I created as personal art projects.  'Vintage Photography' and 'Lighting Sound' were both created as I was working on a 365Project that I started last year.  While I made some great pictures, my project only lasted 100Days, I may restart or revive the project one of these days.  'Discovery' is a shot of the Space Shuttle Discovery making a night time launch from Cape Canaveral, FL.  I have had a fascination with space launches since my family moved to FL in 1997.  I try to go out to every night launch to try to make long exposure images.  Some more of which you can see if you explore through some of my old blog postings.  

Anyways, I would love to get some feed back on what you think of these images, just add your comments below.

Family Portraits Along the River- New Smyrna Beach, FL Family Photographer

I had a great photo session yesterday with Sarah and her family.  I first met Sarah a few weeks ago when she was the Maid of Honor for a wedding I photographed.  Yesterday, I had the opportunity to capture a photo session with Sarah and her family.  Sarah's mother and brother and his family came into town to visit for the holidays.  They had never really had a full family portrait before so Sarah had me set up a photo session and I was able to capture some great shots.  Here are some of my favorite shots from the session which I shot at Riverside Manatee Park in New Smyrna Beach, FL.

 

 

Thanks for letting me capture your  family's portraits.

Stephanie & Brandon- New Smyrna Beach Wedding Photographer

When you think about where you are in your life today, there are sometimes strange turns of fate that lead us to where we are.  It was almost 10 years ago while I was in my freshmen year of high school.  If you asked me then if I was going to be a photographer, let alone a wedding photographer to years from then I probably would have said no way.  Here the odd coincidence is that going back to my freshmen year, Stephanie and I actually had a gym class together, and I graduated the same year as Brandon.  10 Years later, they got married and I was their photographer.

Here are some of my overall favorite shots from the day.  The wedding and reception were at the Hidden Lakes Golf Course in New Smyrna Beach, FL.

It was a little difficult getting this shot due to the setting sun right behind the couple.  I was fighting trying not to get any lens flare in the shot.  

The Cake was made by the groom's sister.  She is trying to start a cake business and did a great job with this one.  I'm not sure right now if she has a website, but I'll update this post later if I find out.  

Originally I was just going to try to post my favorite 10, but here are the lucky 13.  

Congratulations Stephanie and Brandon!!!

Thank you for letting me capture the memories of your wedding day.
