Peyton Thomas was born August 31st at 3:37pm, 8lb 9oz, and 21inches.  He is such a cute kid!  I was able to share in a few moments with Erin, Josh, and Peyton yesterday morning hearing all of the stories and excitements of their first born.  I am so happy for these guys.  I snapped a few shots and wanted to share a few of my favorites.

Enjoy!

I had the great honor of having an image of mine published in the Leica User Forum Book along with many other great photographers.  The purpose of the book is to raise funds for Leica’s charity AICR (Association for International Cancer Research).  This opportunity has meant a great deal to me because my father was diognosed with cancer several years back.  Through cancer research he has recovered and is doing great.

If you are interested in helping support the cause you can do so by purchasing the book HERE.  The book is available for anyone to buy and AICR will receive £5 from each copy sold. So far over £7,000 has been raised just from the entry submissions alone!  Click here for a Thank You post from Leica’s Blog.

Here are a few images of the book and the image of mine that was published.  Unfortunatly they misspelled my name, but for the cause I guess I can let that slide :).  The last name reads “Orilion”, but needs to have two “L”s and read “Orillion”. Better luck next time I guess.

Camera: Leica M6
Lens: Voigtländer 28mm f1.9
Medium: Film – Ilford HP5+ ISO400
Location: Harbor Island in the Bahamas.

Enjoy!

“This photo book – the proceeds of which are being donated to the AICR (Association for International Cancer Research) – is an extremely successful illustration of the passion and dedication of a rather special Leica community. It leaves no doubt whatsoever that our customers are the best.”

Yesterday was such an exciting day!  At 12:55pm Magdalene Marie was born 8lbs 11.4oz at 22in long.  It was so great to be able to spend a bit of time in Baton Rouge with my sister Lauren and her husband Jason as they shared the first day of Magdalene’s life with us.  I am truly at a loss of words to share so I’m going to cut straight to the images.

Enjoy!

I was soooo pumped yesterday to be able to go over and visit Blake and Erin Cuccio along with their new little addition.  At 1:25am yesterday morning they welcomed Vaughn Anthony Cuccio.  Vaughn is such a beautiful baby!  He was so alert you would never know it was his first day.  Blake and Erin are amazing friends of mine and I know that their lives are going to continue to get better and better as they watch this little boy grow.  They were kind enough to let me take a ton of pictures.  Vaughn was having his first little photo shoot and he did such a great job at it!  Anyway… I just wanted to share a few of my favorites from yesterday.

Enjoy!

A few months back I had the opportunity to shoot a bit for Caroline.  We actually shot twice.  The first day was interrupted by rain, but the second was a perfect day.  These images were shot in natural light with the exception of the last one.

Enjoy!

James Charles has officially ROCKED his first year in school.  Don’t forget about those first day of school pics!  Pre-K is officially over and was a huge success.  We will definitely miss the teachers he had this year, but I’m sure we will have great ones next year as well.  I just wanted to share an image I took of him this past year in front of an amazing truck full of hood ornaments. Great job James Charles!  Here’s to Summer!!!

I’ve been listening to Scott Hansen‘s music as Tycho for some time now.  It’s been a little while since he has releaced a new album so as you can imagine… I am really excited about this next release.  I’m not sure exactly when he will be releasing it, but I guarantee that it will be noting short of amazing.  Not only is this guy an amazing musician he is also an amazing graphic artist.  Below are a few images of his work, but go check him out HERE.

Here are some scans of the Salk Institute that I shot last year in San Diego, Ca.  I posted one of the images as a wallpaper a while back, but I’ve never posted any of the actual images.  These were all shot on a Leica M6.

Enjoy!
