Downtown Richmond: Part Three

Here's Part Three of the Downtown Richmond shoot.

If you'd like to know more about Richmond, Texas, check out this article from wikipedia.org

This barbershop was right next to the door handle and the not for rent sign from the last post.

Here's another shot of the ON/OFF switch from the last post....just in black & white.

I'm not sure about this shot of the water tower....what do you think?

Last up for this post is this ONE WAY sign near the train tracks.

Downtown Richmond: Part Two

More shots from Richmond

This door handle was actually the first picture I took in Richmond.


Right next to the door was a window with this sign.


This rope was for a flag pole nestled in between 2 buildings.


I like this arch and also the empty boxes in the doorway.


On/Off


More to come....

Downtown Richmond: Part One

The 563 guys and I went shooting in downtown Richmond a few weeks ago....Chip has already posted three different blog posts of pictures (One, Two, Three).

I've been calling this outing a "Man-cation". Chip's been saying "Free Shoot"....whatever we call it, it was a blast and I had a great time hanging out with both of you.

I don't know when Craig is gonna post his shots....Craig bought this super expensive high tech camera....called a....HOLGA or something....it was a bit too technical for Chip and I....so we shot digital! (HAHAHA....just kidding man! I have a Holga too, and love it!!)

I figured I'd take my time....do some research on Richmond and post pictures along with the info I gathered.

That's taking waaaaaay too long.

So here's a few shots to hold you over.

More MB Aquarium

A couple more....(these are straight out of the camera)


The aquarium has such a beautiful jellyfish exhibit....easily the best on the west coast, and the best jellyfish exhibit that I've seen.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

I've been trying to organize some of my almost 40 gigs of pictures on my hard drive....(I'm running out of space)....while moving things around, I found these two shots from the Monterey Bay Aquarium that I took in November of 2005.


I ran them through Photoshop giving them a little Totally Rad Actions love and this is how they came out.

All Photographers Meeting

I had my first meeting with all the photographers at Studio 563 (Houston) on Friday night.

Craig & his wife April hosted our meeting in their beautiful home! (They fed us too!!)

So all the Studio 563 (Houston) photographers were there:

Craig
Chip
Michael
Lindsey
and Me

April runs the show @ Studio 563 (Houston)....come on Craig you know she does (LOL)....April, YOU ROCK! It was great to finally meet you (and the "Wee One").

I think the best part of the night (honestly) was really seeing Craig's passion when we talking about "seeing shots", etc.

It was really great to meet everyone and I can't wait to work with y'all.

Chip and I stayed a little later, hung out and talked about ShootSac's, ceiling fans, TV shows, Xbox 360....general guy stuff.

Thanks for making me feel like I've been working with you guys forever!

One last thing....The funniest thing about last night was....a photographers meeting, where at least 3 of us have blogs and NO ONE TOOK ANY PICTURES!!!

New Posts Soon

I'm still trying to get my work flow perfected and should have some new photos up soon.
