I just got back from my first experience of Cabbagetown’s Chomp and Stomp here in Atlanta. For those of you not in the know, you go and spend $5 for a spoon that lets you taste test as much chili as you want from seemingly over a hundred recipes from restaurants, groups and individual people. There’s also bands playing for free and plenty of artists set up shop to sell and show off their wares. Simply put, an event not to miss.
I managed to get a little glimpse of it all and what caught my eye the most from all the artists was the interesting frame job that photographer Cody of Scurvy Dog Photography had on some of his pieces. Perhaps I’m simply a art recluse who hasn’t seen this done before, but he framed his photos inside of old windows with multiple panes. Each final piece was made with individual prints that were printed separately and combined to create the final, larger print.
I definitely want to try this with the panoramic shot I have of the salt flats in Utah, putting three or four windows together for it could be pretty interesting. Have any of you ever done anything like this or know of any other really interesting framing methods? I’d like to hear them, leave a comment!
Here’s a few samples of what they look like:

A friend and fellow photographer of mine, Gage Young, have contrived to put together a series of photos. I’m going to talk a little bit more in depth about it.
Movement. We always go through life, it’s something we can’t stop. We’ve been blinded to many things because of this.
You start life as a baby. Demanding, wanting. It’s always about you. Food, love, blankie, your stuffed dog. You know nothing about giving. Fast forward yourself to today, to the now. There are things you see, but that you don’t really see. You accept them as normal. This is the life we live in, one that accepts small tragedies as normal. A life that ignores the feelings of others as we focus on ourselves.
The series will be a set of five images that focus on the ills of the society we live in and covet. Images that will portray things that are normal to use and reveal the layers beneath that shows the depravity within us all.
We are shooting these images on Jan. 23rd-25th in Orlando, Florida.
Prints will be sold, if interested get in touch with me.
I needed a first post on this page. I decided I’d post a shot from a trip I made earlier this year, albeit after I ramble a little.
I will be using this blog for many things. I will talk about gear, I will talk about techniques (some, I’m not giving everything away!), how I do some things or thoughts and ideas about photography. I will occasionally talk about other photographers, things I am inspired by. I will sometimes talk about life and not even mention anything even distantly related to photography. I definitely plan on using this blog to post a lot of photos that are of a different style than what is typically in my portfolio.
Either way, you should use that “subscribe” link down on the bottom of the page and keep up to date with things I’m saying, because we all know how important my ramblings are 
A month or two ago, I made a trip up to New England to do a few photo shoots. I did one in New Hampshire with a good group of guys in a band called Armor For The Broken, then I had to make the trek down to southern Massachusetts to shoot a band called The Miles Between. That trek involved me driving through Boston in the morning. I was doing what I often do when traveling, which is putting my 5D on aperture priority with my 24mm f2.8 lens and holding it at arms length while shooting some random shots. I came up upon the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge bridge and somehow was able to miraculously get two really good shots of it. I then managed to put a sneaky good lightroom edit on it that I liked, and I usually don’t like these weird edits, but I think it turned out good. If interested in buying this as a print or licensing usage, please get in touch with me. Anyway, here is that photo:
