New Website!

My official website is now up and running. I still have a lot of images to add, but it has enough content to make it worth checking out. The new site has a blog on it, so I will no longer be adding content to this blog. It will stay up as a memorial of its time but this will be the last post.... well....maybe I'll add to it with non-photography works now and again. Thank you to those that have kept up with my work and please check out my new site.

Take Two

Two different takes on the same image. Interesting how the processing can greatly manipulate how the image strikes you.

Limbs


CPC_0334, originally uploaded by Hookswords.

During shoots I often take odd shots. Either intentional or blind fired. Every now and then one is decent enough to work on further. I kind of liked this shot.

Is that a UFO in the background?

Espana


MGS_0402, originally uploaded by Hookswords.

The water in the background of this shot was blown out for some reason, but I really like how she looked. So this became a it of an experiment to tweak it to make a usable image out of it. I really like how it turned out

For Every Two Girls, There Shall Exist One Cup

In mathematics and the arts, two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger quantity is equal to the ratio of the larger quantity to the smaller one. Other names frequently used for the golden ratio are the golden section and golden mean.

Iron Chef

I helped out with an Iron Chef competition at work. I was the chef advisor for one of the four teams. My competition included the University chef and one of the IT guys that is a classically trained gourmet chef, studying at places like wherever the hell Julia Childs trained. We were only supposed to be advisors, but when I saw the school chef doing an awful lot of work on his team I stepped in and made a few dishes. My team came in second, but was favored to win. Here's a little link showing some of it.

Moar!

I've created a separate tumblr for my fine art stuff.

http://alotofsimpletricksandnonsense.tumblr.com/

For some reason facebook wont let you link two tumblr pages to your wall, but this one will spit out tweets as well.

Yes, I'm also on facebook now too. Man, that hurts to type. From a marketing stand point I think it's unavoidable. So look me up there Canny Photography or Jonathan Canny should get you me.
