Journeys….

“In order to arrive there,
to arrive there, to get from where you are not,
you must go by a way wherein there is no ecstasy.
In order to arrive at what you do not know
You must go by a way which is the way of ignorance.
In order to possess what you do not possess
You must go by the way of dispossession.
In order to arrive at what you are not
you must go through the way in which you are not
And what you do not know is the only thing you know
And what you own is what you do not own
And where you are is where you are not.”
-Eliot

Bringing it back to the 50′s……

Headed out to the Highway 21 Drive-In Movie Theatre in Beufort, SC. Awesome night, Tony, Capa and I had a blast.

Shot a few quick portraits of Capa outside the apartment. The light and recent rain were too good to pass up!

Then Tony stopped by and we headed out to the Drive-In. Good looking country on the drive too!

Commissions…..

A wonderful pair of friends of mine recently purchased their first home. They contacted me (so humbled!) about possiably adding some of my images to their walls!

Since we all attended the phenominally orange Syracuse University, they were looking for some images that spoke of our time there, and the gorgeous campus that we were spoiled with during our time.

I took the time while up at Nick’s Bachelor Weekend to take a day to myself and visit the campus, walking solo through the snow and enjoying the quiet afternoon
and all of the nostalgia that came with it. Creating images at this place where photography really took hold of me, with an alumnus’ perspective was absolutely divine.
Yeah, I just used the words “absolutely divine”

Living in the dirty south for so long (going on 6 years!), I’d forgotten how much I miss the winter in upstate New York.

Here are a selection of the images I shared with them, they’ve picked their favorites – what are yours?

Post LA Photo MEGA Update

JRB — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 20:00:00 +0000

So I have had a few days since my whirlwind drive across the country back to Savannah. I finally logged the photos I had taken before I left into Lightroom, and have edited a little bit of the last weeks of my time in LA.

We went bowling…….. which was dark and required me to think to much about exposure, so I put the camera away and proceeded to complete “the under the leg while holding a beer in the left hand STRIKE” that I have now become known for….

After bowling, Nick, Mike, Andy and I continued with a guys night. This consisted of heading to “Champs” and much competitiveness…….

Mike, Andy and I finished our night at what will become one of my most missed activities of the West Coast…… “IN-N-OUT BURGER”!!!!!!!!!

I’ll Miss This!

___**_____

On my way back, I met Alan & Mo in Del Rio, TX which is one of the scariest places to access EVER. Way to remote for this guy. Plus its in TX, which places it super low anyway.

Of coarse, Capa was down for some photo action when I got back…….

Overall, I had a blast in LA, and miss my West Coast Peeps a ton! Seriously not missing the traffic though.

More soon

Massive Photo Update:

JRB — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 23:03:00 +0000

So I know I promised a blog update on some new equipment I have been working with, so here it is. I finally got a camera that I am not constantly wishing I could upgrade. I got my hands on a brand-spanking new Nikon D700
. Its AMAZING. The quality of files coming out of this beast at high isos and in low light it simply mind boggling. I know it doesn’t shoot HD video like the Canon 5D mark II, but hey, when I go video, I’ll see about all of that then.

So I finally got to test out the camera – I went around town with my buddy Mike, attended Chinese New Year in Chinatown with Kelly, and a Superbowl party at Nick’s place.

Massive amounts of photos after the link :

My boy Mike!

This one is for Rebecca Nolan.

Breakfast in Chinatown!

Superbowl Action:

Hope you enjoy! More soon. I can’t stop playing with this camera!!

The US from Coast to Coast………

JRB — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 07:15:00 +0000

So I promised an update…….. 4 weeks ago!!!!

Here’s the deal – the internship with LGP is going very, very well. It is intense, packed to the gills with stuff to do, and I work with a great group of people. Being as its so busy, and I am constantly running around with errands, and all sorts of other activities – I have been very lazy (and lame) with the updating of the blog. I will attempt to rectify this situation in the near future with more frequent posts, and hopefully a lot more interesting topics than, “update coming soon”. I’ll try to give as many updates as I can about the internship – but I wont be going into specifics because much of what I hear and work on is upcoming, or still in production, or just generally business related – so there is an aspect of confidentiality that is involved.

So in an effort to make it up to my avid and numerous (like, 3) readers, here is a sideshow of images (taken roughly, every hour I was awake) from my entire drive from Savannah to Los Angeles. Note: these are just quick snaps, I used autofocus (sometimes to no avail) and quick shooting settings so that I could, well, concentrate on driving!

So here it is the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific – driven in 2.5 days (ugh).
