Info on the paynage

Howdy the names Aaron, and this is my attempt at taking a photo a day and posting it here for everyone to see starting january 1st 2010. I know, I know it’s not original.

UPDATE: Ok, so I'm not getting one out everyday anymore. But hey at least I'm still working at it!

Bit about me and my life of creating images... I’ve been taking photos well back into the days of film. I’ve spent a couple years shooting only black and white and developing in the dark room and loved it. Fast forwarding to the days of the pixel I’ve since abondoned film and have gone all digital (Sorry film! I will always love you, I’ve been seduced by the instant gradification).

Recently I’ve been becoming obsessed with studio and strobist lighting.

Reflection of a tree branch in the water

Mucky bogs have really calm water so you can get some great reflections from them.

Ford Bronco

This is my neighbor's Ford Bronco. It's got a rough exterior but has a great style and beauty of it's own. My neighbor has such a love for this vehicle that he even wants to be buried in it one day. It seems rare that a vehicle really reflects their owner and vis versa. It's a beautiful thing... Keep on Truckin.

Hands, knees and fishnets stockings

Fishnet Stockings are so fun to photograph because of the natural patterns and texture they create. I didn't want to make you puke, so I decided not to wear them and had the wife pose instead.

School photo Self Portrait.

Ahh yes, Photo days at school. I hated those days, having to wear nice clothes and having to comb my hair. Thank god I'm older now and don't have to deal with any hair combing or fancy-pants clothing. Anyway, yesterday's photoshoot inspired me to do the real thing and reproduce my old school photo. The only problem is that I'm a bit older and maybe a bit goofier.

black-white-self-portrait

So I was thinking today about the school photos that were all the rage for all of one year maybe, back in 93 or so. Kinda inspired me to do something like that. Except a little less cheesy... or more cheesy, I'm not sure what to think of this photo.

Whats to eat in the fridge.

I dig around the fridge about twenty times a day, looking for goodies that never seem to be there, as if something good is going to just appear the next time I look.

Aaron the pirate with knife in mouth

My wife said that I look scary in this picture... didn't think that was a very nice of her to say. Oh well, can't win them all. I'd like to thank my influences... Jack Burton, pirates and Chuck Norris.
