I went out to support my long time friend Jabee for his Leap of Faith art show auction. There were a lot of people that went out. I got to see some people I haven't seen in 10 years. One of best parts of the show for me was the live painting by artist Bunky Echo- Hawk. He was doing a painting of Jabee. The reference photo he happened to be using was a photo I took several years ago. I was pretty excited about that. Bunky is an awesome artist and to see something I photographed come to life in a painting was very cool.

It's been a while since I have been out to a local show. I decided to go out and support local artist Josh Sallee for the release show for his new album Probable Flaws. The show was awesome and there were a ton of people. It was really cool to say hi to Privalegde and James Harden who showed up to support Josh.

Over the weekend my wife and I got invited to the Fashion In Full Bloom event hosted by NBA player Serge Ibaka. Our good friend Vernon Deas from GRPFLY Clothing provided all the shirts for the models to wear while they were getting ready for the show. The event was put on to support The Allied Arts in Oklahoma City. We got to meet and chat a little bit with Project Runway's Johnathan Kayne, Serge Ibaka, and Kevin Durant. It was also good catching up with Carolyn and Gary Goldman from Uptown Kids.

This is the second movie for my Seasons and Moods series.
It was more experimental than anything else. All of the footage, except for the grass in the beginning, was shot with a reversed Canon 50mm 1.4. I was blown away with the results. Yes most of it is out of focus and abstract, but that's why I like it. I haven't seen any other experiments using a reversed lens.

Do you ever get in a rut or in that mode where you are just not motivated? We all get there and it’s tough to get out of it sometimes. Watching other photographers and viewing their work should inspire. For the most part it does, but when you are struggling with your own work it starts to make you upset. You start to question yourself as a photographer. I know I've done it. You just have to face it, it will always be like that. There will always be someone better at the craft you are trying to perfect.

This is the first short movie for my new series Seasons and Moods. The concept is really simple. All of the short movies will be 1 minute in length. They will be focused on one location and be based on a season and or mood. All of the shooting will be done in 30 minutes or less. Nothing mind blowing about it. It's just a way to create and share. Enjoy!
