Whether I'm taking a photo or filming a video, I attempt to shoot at unique and rarely thought of angles to yield results that differ from my fellow creatives documenting and capturing life around the world. Based on feedback, support, and my own perspective; I think I'm steadily accomplishing this task of separating my work and developing my own general style.
New photos are up under both Vertical Photos & Horizontal Photos! The balance (in amount) between vertical and horizontal has grown to be not too even anymore, but nonetheless a picture is a picture so it doesn't matter too much. Of course though, I'm still going to maintain a variety by keeping the Vertical Photos steadily updated.

Since I don't believe I ever made a substantial post on this, here's a "Glance Back" at my first piece in a gallery -- going back to last summer. Harbor County Progress, in Union Pier, Michigan, is a nice facility that put together a great art show fairly soon after the conclusion of the election, in celebration of Barack Obama's victory. I had done a "Hope Wins" commission piece (pictured below - hanging in the gallery) for a friend in Michigan and we decided we should submit it for the show. Eventually, I heard by word of e-mail that the piece had been selected for the show. My first piece in an exhibit (and at only 15 years of age when it was accepted, and 16 when it actually went up in the gallery -- not bad!). I am very happy to have been apart of this exhibit, especially since the theme was an important and historic one. I was lucky enough to visit the gallery while visiting friends in a different area of Michigan, which is not insanely far away. It was humbling to have my work set up next to the smart, and often controversial, artist known as Shepard Fairey. Whether you like his work or not, he's still an important artist to this generation with what he's done with both the OBEY campaign as well as the iconic and forever famous HOPE election poster. It was a nice experience and was important for me so that I can truly see the progression of my journey from start to finish. Here's some more of the work that was on display for the exhibit. Some really top of the line artists gathering to make sensational art. Group shows can be a magnificent occasion, if executed properly.
I teamed up with the folks over at Good Wood NYC to craft this quality, engraved custom Two Headed Duck wooden piece! On the front you have to classic duck duo and on the back you have 'Imagination Detonation' along with the I.D. logo. The piece truly came out better than I even expected. Thank you GoodWood for a tremendous job! Shouts to Kathryn for helping me get everything perfect, right down to the last detail.
