It only took me 6 months to develop and scan this film from Seattle:

More inspiration...it's only fair

Yesterday while I was typing about how I don't follow many photographers or know them by name, I realized that was not a true statement. There are several people who's work I know and I figure it is only fair to share as well.

When Brian and I were camping in the Homestead Everglades three years ago a park ranger riding his bike around the grounds came by to inform us that Clyde Butcher, a Florida photographer would be giving a talk that evening in the community center.

I am so in love with Clyde Butcher and the fact that he uses large format cameras, looks like Santa Claus and is a true Floridian only perpetuates that admiration.

One day I will splurge on a gigantic Butcher print, if I can ever make a decision.

INspiration

I like to take photos as a hobby but never really have any specific photographers who's name and work I know and look out for. The majority of people who inspire me are my friends and real life people, but I am newly in love with Mike Piscitelli's photography and would love to get into portraiture that has even an inkling of his style in it.

Learning

My editing skills are kinda garbage, but they are slowly getting slightly more in-depth.

Photo Vomit

Apparently my blog is just becoming a photo vomit from my phone and occasionally my camera without much writing. Which is probably fine with my five readers since I tend to write the way I talk, in a constant ramble. This week Jordan and I traveled to St. Pete my hometown to visit the Dali Museum, eat smoked fish and see some pirate hookers.

Hiking at the GTM

We went hiking at the Guana Tolomato Marine Reserve last weekend and I took pictures with my phone. I have a ton of pictures on my camera I need to post but have had actual work to do since starting a new job. Enjoy natural Florida.

This is my bear obsessing over Michael:

Thanks Brian

I might have to place Zach Galifianakis in my top 5 dreamboats. What can I say I'm just a chubby chaser.
