Wallpaper Wednesday
Welcome to the inaugural post of Wallpaper Wednesdays. Each week I’ll post a new image as wallpaper for your desktop, tablet or phone. The image will be from a body of work currently underway or a classic from the archives. Right click the image below and click ‘save image as.’ Then set it to your desktop and voila!
All images are available for purchase as fine art prints. Just shoot me an email and I’ll send one over!
Fine art commission for Búccan in Palm Beach
The original proposal was a triptych to fill the space the fourth image was intended to hang elsewhere in the restaurant however putting all four shots together just fit so perfectly on the wall. The VIP opening was great and being able to sit just off to the side allowed Sam and I to really get to watch unnoticed as the VIPs stopped and admired. Of course this camera phone photo doesn’t do the images justice so attached are the shots. Thank you to Piper, Clay & Sam at Búccan for the opportunity and the amazing dinner! If you find yourself up in Palm Beach, you have to go, go, GO!!! I highly recommend the tuna tartar…. mmm… I could eat only that for the rest of my life and still be happy! Check them out here.
Abstract Photography
In Key West, I tried shooting in a very different way to create some abstract photography pairings. These are a few of my favorites.
(2018 Edit: We switched over our website, and are looking for these images, too!)
Key West (part II)
Day one: After a detour in Islamorada to make arrangements to meet our friend Kara later in the night and an amazing lunch at a little place called Castaways in Marathon (just before the 7 mile bridge and after about 5 U-turns because it’s impossible to find) my sister and I found ourselves riding around in the back of a 1953 Ford Pickup Truck with our friend and Key West local Doug, scouting locations.
An hour later we were shooting sunsets from a boat graveyard one key up from Key West with Kara and our new friend Jason (this shot is for you Jason!).
(2018 Edit: We’ve had a few different website hosts since this blog post! We’re looking for this image, too.)
The night progressed by dodging intoxicated tourists along Duval Street, suspending my Canon 5D Mark II off the edge of rooftops, and eventually exploring the abstract. Once I filled up my cards I took it as a sign to relax and join my friends who had already meet up with the Mayor of Islamorada for a much needed glass of wine at The Grand Vino. We had a great time, I made some more new friends from Louis Backyard and introduced them to the Vignette demo app for the Sprint HTC EVO phone. Their sunset photo’s will get even cooler now. By now my friends who agreed to have a drink at every bar I needed to shoot from were feeling great and it was time to head back to Doug’s house on Love Lane.
