So for all of you out there that haven't had the chance yet, if you get some time mozy on over to s6photo.com, I'm really happy with how it turned out.
Having this website is really helping with business, it gives me a place to send people to see a big variety of some of my better work that will always be there. Now people can really see more than one side to S6 Photo, not just the shots that happen to be on the blog the week that they visit.
With that being said I've been thinking for awhile what I'm going to do with the blog and after not posting for a little while I've come to a conclusion. The blog is not going to be the place where you go to see my best work, if you want to see the best of S6 Photo go to the site, and believe me when I do get some images that I am really liking they will go up on the site. I promise you that the site will frequently change as I get more images that I believe portray my best work. The blog is going to be the place where you can see all of the new, different, progressive stuff that happens to be coming out of the camera. It'll be the images that I'm not too sure about, maybe you'll really like some because there different or maybe you'll hate some because there different. The beauty of it is that if you do think that I failed you can go on over to s6photo.com and see some really good work.
Be looking for some other forms of media on the blog that I really like whether it be video, music, writing etc. I think that posting other peoples' work is vital because I get a lot out of looking at it and chances are that you can too. One thing won't change and that is the shots of the week, the concept will still be the same and that is you'll be able to see where I've been and what I've been shooting.
Drop me a comment on what you think, this blog is a place open to anyone, I use it to show people what I'm doing and see what they think about it. Don't be scared, drop me some comments. Also I really want to hear what people are thinking about s6photo.com so don't be afraid to post a comment about that either.
So for the media of the week here's Will Start's 2009 Cinematography Reel:
This video really stands out to me because you could take still frames from here and they would be really good photos because of the way he composes his shots. I try to watch a lot of different videos and some filmers tend to focus more on the action and not the composition of the entire shot, Will does a good job with his composition and thats why he gets media of the week.
Travel has been pretty crazy recently. I got back from Park City had a little time at home then headed to Mammoth for a week, came back home for a day and now I'm on the road to Jackson Hole. Lots of travel and a lot of shooting. Weather was a little bit tough for photos in Mammoth so I ended up spending quite a bit of time shooting at night, something I usually don't do. It turned out that when I was down there it was the time in 2010 when the moon was closest to the earth. It was some crazy light because the moon was super bright so I was trying to get some moonlit landscapes. The landscapes didn't turn out due to some low clouds but I got some other images from that night that turned out.
Shots of the last few weeks:
Thanks for reading.

Ok to the kendama shot, it is cool, but kind of out of focus on the face. I love the photo, it makes me laugh and sweet color combo with the wall and the tama (ball of the kendama, and yes I know my kendama lingo) the only thing that thing that gets me is that it is a tad out of focus on the 2 most important things, face and the Tama.
For the 2 moon shots, wow. Those are so good. They really show the s6 Photo style that you distribute through the majority of your photos. I love the flare, I love the comp. I love everything about it.
Now the 5th one, Im just not digging it. I think that the photo is just.... ehh....ok. It relates to "you project is as strong as your weakest photo" In my opinion, the 5th one rained on your parade.
Last but not least, the last one. E-dogg, that one is beast. totally s6photo style, totally has a story from where you are and whats going on. It just makes up for the 5th one. ha.
Keep shooting

I like the lens flare on the branch/moonlit shot, and the website is great. The picture of the the dog on the dock looks surreal. Incredible stuff.
