Practicing compositing. I really haven't delved into this much and I still have a lot to learn, but its pretty fun so far.

//Linkin Park // HP Pavilion

I have been to four Linkin Park concerts previously; my favorite being Projekt Revolution of 2007. But, on the 22nd of February, I had what I would consider to be a once in a lifetime opportunity. My best friend won free tickets from a radio station in Sacramento and then proceeded to win the grand prize from that contest. While the seats were center stage in the nose bleed section, my heart was still racing. In my hand I held a most coveted prize: a photo pass.

With my Canon 40D in hand and the photo pass plastered to my shirt, I joined the other photographers in the photo pit for the first three songs of Linkin Park's set. To say that I was happy was an understatement. Having the opportunity to stand two feet away from the stage, sing at the top of my lungs, and take pictures was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

I am so very grateful to have had the experience.

Thank you to the members of Linkin Park, NOW 100.5, and to my best friend for giving me this experience. Its definitely a dream come true.

//Composites

What started off as "The voices inside my head", twisted and became "Multiple Personalities" or something of the sort. The wonderful Lady Garland was my lovely model and we worked really hard to make these images. I know they aren't perfect, because I am still working on my Photoshop skills, but they are fun.

3000 images later became 5.

//Failed 365 of 2011

I started off pretty strong and pretty brilliantly failed as well.

So here are some of my favorites that I took while trying to do a 365 in 2011. Not super strong by any means, but I like them none the less.
