A collective photo series:
A rabbit that is perpetually late for his very important date. It is constantly 3:00 everywhere he goes. What anchors us to reality? Is it time? Or is it gravity? Each photo is captured at exactly 3:00, but because time is a relative construct, the same moment captured appears slightly different based on the viewer's perspective and understanding of time.
Here's a little throwback thursday. My resolution for 2014 was to work on balance. Primarily it was with a focus on physical balance. Seeking to gain the concept of balance naturally lead into other aspects of my life unrelated to the physical aspects. This also lead to me pursuing a "Balance" photo project. Here is one of the photos of me that helped spark the idea....and coincidentally it is an award winning published photo:

A big thank you to Cara and Jenna for being great models/photographers for the black friday portrait shoot I organized. They were naturals with their looks and poses. I can't wait to get some of these printed in the darkroom!
I've been swimming with a roll of black and white film in my camera. Here are a few images from my latest roll....I will be printing a few of these in the darkroom later this month!
I spent the past week in Boston. I'm not really the type of person who gets "wanderlust", I'm more the type of person who takes advantage of what I have when I have it. Hence why I am always in the ocean in San Diego...in Boston, I'll explore the city on foot and see what it has to offer. Here are the photos I've shot with my phone while in the city. I didn't photograph everything, because I believe some moments are best saved in your mind's memory rather than your phone's.
