I can’t believe how inspired I’ve felt lately. Not only to create amazing portraits, but also to do some abstract work, which I haven’t done much of lately. I’m finally starting to get more free time, and feel less stressed out at work, and thusly my photography prospers because of it. I love creating, and it can be especially fun with abstracts when you have such a blank canvas it becomes difficult to find focal points, and put meaning into shots. So instead I just try and make them look cool. Just kidding. Even with my abstract shots I try and put “emotion” into them. I realize that my abstract photography might not always have that “emotion” in it, or that other people might not see it, but I do. Most of the time. Although sometimes I do just like it because it looks cool.

Best Hood Ornament Ever!

So I was walking around the colfax area, not getting anything to shoot, and I decided to stroll up one of the side streets. I found this old dodge truck. I don’t know what it is about me lately that has really been digging old trucks, but man I’ve really been digging old trucks. I think it’s my lack of models to shoot. Honestly it’s hilarious. Also I think I’m copying my uncle who has a ton of pictures of old car chrome parts. It’s a cool series. You can see some of the series here.
Old Cars And Old Men

So I was taking a walk around my neighborhood up in the highlands in Denver, and I saw through the spaces in the houses this old van. It was this great old rusty Chevy van. I walked around the block, and went down the alleyway to get to it. It was just sitting there as it had sat for the last 10 years probably.

So lately I’ve been trying harder and harder to really reach out and talk to more people that I find interesting in hopes that it will make my photography better. I also like the pressure of taking a portrait of someone you just met. So I was walking along 16th street on one of my downtown walkabouts, and I saw this old guy. He was great. In the middle of 16th street he was hanging out in a nice suit, and his hat. I loved his hat. There was this bright yellow stripe around a really well cut hat. I decided after passing him once that if i saw him again I was going to strike up a conversation, and actually get his portrait. So as I was coming back down 16th street I saw him again and went for it.
