Day 83 of 365 – Lights
I spent all day Sunday editing photos from Saturday, so I had pretty much no time to dedicate to my 365. This seems to be an on-going theme with Sunday’s after working Saturday’s at DGAF. Here is a close up of a light bulb. Nothing to special here, but I did almost go blind when trying to focus on this thing.
Day 82 of 365 – Mask
Dayt 81 of 365 – City Reflections
I went out looking for my 365 well after the sun had gone down and just so happened to leave my tripod at home. I was hanging out with friends in downtown Providence and I didn’t want to walk around with my flash on my camera and only had my big ass camera bag. I limited myself to just the camera without the tripod or the flash so I had to try and get creative. This was taken on Washington Street in Providence with my camera resting on the hood of my friends car. I thought the reflections from the building on the roof of his car kind of looked like a landscape photo or painting with a water reflection.
Day 80 of 365 – Unicorn Cupcakes
I was asked to fill in at Local 121 on Thursday night as the DJ. It was a really super awesome fun ass time, but it sure got hot in there. Anyway, when I made the flyer for the event, I put cupcakes and unicorns on the flyer so I decided to call this photo Unicorn Cupcakes. Here is a quit snap shot I took while DJing. I don’t think I will be trying the whole DJ and take photos thing again unless I am DJing with someone else.
Day 79 of 365 – Dead
Day 78 – Justly Famous Since 1910
This is Almac’s diner, it has been a Fall River, MA icon since 1910 and has been closed down as of Monday. I regret not doing this photo shoot when it was in business and all the neon lights where operational, I had no idea it was closing until it was already closed. More info on the place and it’s closing over at The Herald News.
This was a HDR multi-row panorama. I wanted to make a HUGE high quality image for large printing, and may go back and do it again at night with some manual light painting where the neon lights would have been.
Day 77 – Eyeball
Day 76 of 365 – Beer
A Mid-Summer Night’s Rave Panorama
Day 75 of 365 – Good People
Day 74 of 365 – A Mid-Summer Night’s Rave
I was asked to help shoot a large event / rave by Dave Yang on Friday out in Western, Massachusetts. What an amazing night this was, I am really excited to get the time to edit all the photos. This was one of the first photos of the evening taken over near the electric forest stage. They had a massive sound system with amazing lighting in the middle of the woods. It was like hiking on a perfect night in to a freaking rave.
Great people, great music, great vibes all around. I hope my final photo set does this event justice. Thank you to Dave Yang for booking me and to Jon-Luke West for putting this kick-ass event together.

Day 73 of 365 – ‘jects
Day 72 of 365 – Fridge
Day 71 of 365 – Color Rays
I am not even sure what to call that effect you see in the sky, a ray cast by the sun? Shadows from the cooling towers? I do know the sky looked too freaking cool not to try and photograph. Those damn cooling towers are showing up in too many of these 365’s, I need some new scenery! No HDR’ing or anything this time, just a straight shot of the sky.
Day 70 of 365 – Christmas in July
I was commissioned by a friend to photograph some new products for his store and was tied up working on his project after I left work, so I didn’t have much time to put in to a 365 photo. I did have to get really creative with the lighting to get the look I was aiming for, so I figured it would make a decent 365 addition. The ornaments where hung 2-3 feet in front of a lit up Christmas tree, then the ornaments where lit up from each side with 2 off camera strobes. There where also 2 incandescent lights, one below the ornaments and one shining on the tree to brighten up the deep tones a bit. Overall I am pretty pleased with the results from the first few products in this project.
Day 69 of 365 – Weekends
When I am not out trying to be the next Ansel Adams, I pay the bills by taking photos of beautiful women and unbelievably drunk people at night clubs. Sometimes people ask to take a photo with me, for what reason I really do not know. Instead of flipping the camera around, I direct everyone to the glass mirror to take a photo with me. This is one of those photos taken with my lovely friend Casey.
Day 68 of 365 – Reverse Windmill
I had to shoot DGAF on Saturday so I took a few random shots around the house before the gig just to make sure I had something for my 365. I expected to just use a DGAF photo but I did not take any I wanted to use as a 365 until after midnight. This really boring reverse-free lens shot of a windmill is gonna have to do for Saturday. I just gotta keep telling myself they can’t all be decent!
Day 67 of 365 – Contra
In my head, the lines and depth in this parking garage reminded me of level 2 in Contra for NES. Now that I look at it on the computer screen, it reminds me more of Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Day 66 of 365 – Moonlight
While I was driving home from Providence, RI after taking my day 65 photo, I notice the moon looked super close and an interesting color. I went over to an open parking lot in Fall River, MA around 1am and snapped a few shots. This was taken with my 300mm, 2 photos, one exposed for the moon and one exposed for the sky, merged in photoshop. I loved how the moon caused an interesting lens flare on the long exposure shot.
