One of the downfalls of shooting film over digital is the wait. And at the same time, that is one thing that I love about it. The time between taking this first photograph, shooting the rest of the roll, and finally seeing the results was about a month. Had there been no …

There are hardly any words; I think this photograph says it all… how these sweet, brave, strong foster children stick together and look out for one another. They are holding on to each other and to life in a powerful way. This photograph was taken at a Heart Gallery of Los Angeles event on Saturday....
I bought a bouquet of dahlias for the first time recently and deemed them the prettiest things. As I was trimming their stems and admiring their colors, I realized I have been dreaming of dahlia gardens for over 4 years now. Before I could change my mind, I took them outside and placed the vase...
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” – Pablo Picasso From childhood through art school, I was constantly creating, without effort it seemed; but, as I grow older I am finding it harder and harder to say “yes” to myself and my personal project ideas....
June 7, 2010 - 7:59 pm - Just wanted you to know that these images and words really helped make my day brighter.

Since it is the day after Memorial Day, it only seems fitting to post about this amazing couple. Alexis is currently serving the US Air Force on assignment in Las Vegas, away from her husband, Justin, who is a teacher in Los Angeles. I can’t even begin to express my admiration for the ease in...
This personal project is purposefully a very simple one: To photograph this bench with my Diana (a plastic toy film camera) every time I reach the peak of my hike up Runyon Canyon. The rule is: I’ll wait only a minute or so to anticipate and document a fleeting moment, and I must …

While we try to teach our children all about life, Our children teach us what life is all about. ~Angela Schwindt As I was reflecting on my recent photo session of this sweet 16 month old little girl, I couldn’t help but re-connect so strongly with the very reason that led me to photograph children...

I love simplicity. I love the fact that my Diana film camera has exposure settings simply for cloudy, partly cloudy, and sunny; and only 3 approximate focusing distances. I love that it is plastic and weighs nothing and I can throw it in my bag while I hike. I love …

I will wait only a few seconds or so to anticipate a moment, but the rule is: I must take a picture from a similar vantage point every time I reach this spot (even if I am not terribly inspired and wouldn’t have taken the shot otherwise).
