Off to the Bahamas

I recently finished shooting a beautiful boutique resort on Grand Bahamas Island called Old Bahama Bay  on the western end of the island.  

Fantastic property!  

It is the closest habituated location that I am aware of to the United States, roughly 60 miles east of West Palm Beach.  As a port of entry, the property caters to celebrities, honeymooners, adventurers and those escaping their stateside for tranquility and island charm.  

I have posted a promotional piece I created to showcase both images I have taken and to give you an idea of the property.

First show

I treat it as not a big deal and it is.  

I was asked at the last minute to participate in the Kulture Klash 4 event here in Charleston SC last night.  

Thinking back, I am stoked to have been shown with such talent in what I considered a pretty kick ass party.  

Images I submitted. 

All prints are one of one.  

11x16 matted and set behind glass then mounted using a uni-frame.  

$200 each

"Take the risk and go"

"Fierce Grace"

"Fearlessly she said I AM"

Recently I watched a documentary on Andy Warhol.  

Good stuff.

These inspire me.

"I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of ''work,'' because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep. "

"I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning. "

"I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own." 
Andy Warhol 

Artist that kicks ass.

I attended a show last night and viewed some really fantastic artwork!  One artists that I really dug; 

Ryan Cronin.

  

Described in his words, "When people look at my work I want them to feel an immediate impact, even if they're not sure what hit them. The raw, almost childlike appearance of my work belies my reflective underlying vision. I delight in unexpected or enigmatic juxtapositions in terms of both theme and placement, and often bring a sense of humor to bear on troubling contemporary issues. This sensibility, combined with quick, instinctive brushstrokes and a vibrant palette, result in striking images that can simultaneously disturb and entertain."

Project Blow Out

So I have begun a new project thats intention is to re-create vintage images of the early 20th century through digital means.  Result, contemporary style, vintage feel. I hope you enjoy.

Classic.  I am going to be this great of a dancer one day.  Bollywood rocks!

Manifest.

Readily seen, perceived, or understood.

       I am manifesting in my life what I want.  Knowing what I wanted though was the first challenge.  A bit more difficult than simply declaring that "today I will wake at 7 am", I am learning that refining my wants, clarifying is both daunting at first then a really fun ride.  

As an Artist, manifesting is inherent in what I do and how I relate to my reality.  

Right now I am a traveling photographer.  I am successful. I am passionate about my work.  I am an Artist.  Before I might say, " I want to be a traveling photographer that is successful, passionate and artistic." 

As I changed my belief that who I am or what I want is not impossible I found my relationship to what I experienced changed. 

Now I remember, gratefully, that the world does not say NO, only YES, it was my ignorance that had forgotten this.  Perhaps you have discovered this as well. I want to hear your stories if your willing to share.   

Thank you for your time!

Cheers.
