Architecture Detail

This is a beautiful detail photograph from a house I recently shot with my group for an architecture class.
This house was well planed out by the homeowners and contractor to create a genuine spanish feel throughout the home. The house was filled with unique architectural details to authentic mexican art pieces. 

26th Annual Parade of Lights

Tonight I went down to the Santa Barbara Pier with a friend to watch the 26th Annual Parade of Lights. This was my first time going to this event it was great seeing crowds of people in the holiday spirit. There where families, couples, friends and more lining the pier to watches as the decorated boats passed by. At the end of the parade there was a small fire work show. Here are a few photos of tonight's festivities if your ever in the area during the holiday season Santa Barbara is filled with things to do with the family. Hope you enjoy. 

The Natural World

It may seem a bit strange but I tend to photograph dead things when I come across them out in the natural world. Slowly I have been gathering a collection of images of dead animals. This particular bird was found laying amongst the rocks along the shore in Santa Barbara. Spread amongst the rocks near the bird lay feathers and small bones. 

Anti-style

These images were all created to show how a photographer can take a single object and transform it in to completely different looks using light, camera angle and color.  All of these photos where taken with white-lightning strobes, a Nikon D300s and multiple Nikon lenses.
