Monotone zombie confessional

Zombie photoshoot from Lindsey Turner on Vimeo. This may shock and awe some of you, but this is the first time I’ve ever really been zombified. I saved the face wound; it’s reusable! Check out Amie‘s photo here!

Day 270: Piper

My friends Jerm and Krissi commissioned me to take some photos of them and Piper that they can use to give to relatives and frame and put in cards and whatnot. We hoofed it out to My Big Backyard at the Botanic Gardens to take advantage of the cool atmosphere. We were pretty impressed with the place and agreed that for kids, it’s got to be a pretty incredible place to spend an afternoon. As…

Day 244: 50D

My little silver Rebel XTi, which my dad got for me a couple of years ago when I started commandeering his own XTi every time I’d come home to visit, has served me so incredibly well these past two years. It has truly been my introduction to photography, even though I took about two seconds of a black and white film class at MTSU before dropping it because I could NEVER get the film on…

I hate/love nature photography

Part of the reason I’d like to have a house…

… has a lot to do with the fact that most houses come with attached plots of land on which you can pretend to be a conductor coaxing the most entrancing floral notes out of the earth:   My mom grows flowers so gorgeous that I don’t even need Photoshop. Truly. If I got even a fraction of her and my grandmother’s green thumbs, I will cultivate a jungle before all is said and done.

Day 193: Fruit Salad

Every damn photo I took Sunday night was blurry so I must point you in the direction of the professional photographs taken by one Brandon Dill, the Mid-South’s premier freelance photographer who manages to make people look pretty even while they are sweaty, drunken messes. [Project 365

Day 118: Supersized

I had a 24-inch iMac-shaped hole in my heart and lo and behold a friend of mine was able to fill it for a ridiculously reasonable price, and here I find myself seriously outnumbered by Apple products in my apartment. Four to one, if my math is right. If the recession continues its slide toward an awesomeness-based economy, I will, of course, eventually be declared “rich as shit.” Also, I extended my lens rental a…

Day 116: Published!

A publishing company found this pic of Felix on my Flickr, sent me a note asking permission to use it, and sent me a copy of the book when it printed. So cool! Here’s the book. I miss Felix a lot, but it’s neat to have him immortalized in print like this. [Project 365]

Day 93: Closed

Tried to file some Very Important Paperwork today, but it completely completely slipped my mind that city offices would be closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr.’s death day. So, next week. Last night Cameron Harper tweeted a link to the collection of LIFE Magazine photographs from the King murder scene that have just been released to the public for the first time. I clicked through them slowly and felt my breath leave my…

friends Memphis photography weather

Walking in Memphis … in the snow … at midnight

It snowed Saturday and I reverted, as I always do when it snows, to a hyperactive eight-year-old. Which means snowalking in the park at midnight after work. As always, shenanigans were involved: Full Flickr set here.
