Cats

Cats are a common theme and subject in my photography.  My cat Katerina with an abstract cat sculpture was from a photoshoot shot for a Three Dimensional Art course.  The black and white photo of Katerina was part of a portrait series for a Digital Photography course.  While traveling around northern California, I captured a curious little kitten at the perfect moment.

Yankes Air Museum

These photos were shot at Yanks Air Museum at Chino Airport in California. The blue plane with the famous shark smile is a Grumman G-50 Hellcat (F6F-5). The chrome plane is a Lockheed 12-A Electra Jr. (C-40D), the same model used by Amelia Earhart during her famous attempt to fly around the world.

Finding a Mysterious Object

These two photos were from a series I shot in a Photo 50 course.  The goal was to link two images, one of a scene and another of an object and then use them as a source of inspiration. The shooting location, a stream near Mount Baldy, was inspired by a scene during the gold rush.  The idea of finding a small mysterious object was based on the One Ring from Tolkien Legendarium.

Plotto

These photos were from a series I shot in a Photo 50 course. The premise of this series was to use a plot premise from the book Plotto: The Master Book of All Plots and create photographs to tell a story.  A generous amount of fog, made by mixing warm water and dry ice was used to create a mysterious feel.

Wide awake

This photo was from a series I shot in a Photo 50 course. The objective was to create an image inspired by a given word or phrase. The phase I was given was “wide awake”.  From that, I took inspiration from the popularity of energy drinks.
