Day 18 - Kansas City Wii

in , , ,

The next couple of days posts will be from my time in Kansas City over the week between Christmas & New Years. Here are honestly some of the cutest kids in the world who happen to belong to a couple of my good friends Jason & Allison Domingues :) They were gracious enough to let Jen and myself stay for a couple days and it was so refreshing to be with them.Here are a couple from an afternoon of Mario Kart Wii. It was so funny to see how competitive two kids under 10 are.... Then I got on the controller and started talking smack to a 7 year old. I may have beaten my fist against my chest when I beat her. She finished 12th. I finished 11th.

I guess some things don't change with age.

Blessings. Jason

Day 8 - Mr. Aaron

in , , ,

My good friend Jamie & I were on a bit of a road trip a couple of weeks ago and ran into Mr. Aaron. We talked for almost 30 minutes about the soil, growing tomato plant (he actually gave me one to take home), and his hat that he bought over 30 years ago for $4.... Blessings. Jason

Day 5 - Mechanic

We must have talked to this guy about mud drag racing for over 30 minutes. It was so interesting to talk to someone who was so passionate about something that I knew absolutely nothing about. Blessings. Jason

Happy 2010 & Personal Work January :)

in , , ,

I have been thinking about doing this for a while now, and I figured that since the new year is starting it would be a great opportunity to actually go through with it.... So here it is..... Every day in January I will post at least one personal image and share a little bit of the story behind the image.  Sometimes it is so easy to get caught up in just going through the day-to-day that it is easy to forget why I got into photography in the first place, which is to be behind the camera. Personal work has a huge effect on all of the other types of work that I do and I notice that as I get away from shooting personal work, I start to get low on creative juices to go into other shoots.

My primary job as a photographer is simply to capture story. I hope that through these images in the next month I can bring you into the story that I hope to constantly seek to find everyday.

This month is just an experiment of sorts for myself, that I would be able to #1 keep up with blogging every day (7 days a week :) & #2 to get out and shoot for myself. I hope that you would check back every couple of days and feel free to leave comments as I would love to hear your thoughts.

Blessings. Jason

Out of town on the road this week...

in , , , , ,

This is a week that I have been looking forward to for a while... Just myself, a passenger (my good friend Jamie), my Leica (camera), and the open road... We are taking the week to just do some creative shooting before the year is up and to come away refreshed for the new year. We we will be traveling throughout Louisiana for the week and I will do my best to do a couple updates throughout the week here on my blog. The best way to get in touch with me is by email if you need anything. I hope that everyone has a fantastic week... Here is an image that I shot with my Leica last week....

Blessings. Jason
