Dogposites
"Dogposites" are my way of allowing my imagination to take over to create a surreal scene for a dog I have taken a portrait of. Here are a few I have recently gotten around to creating.
Rocket Dog Rescue
A little over two weeks ago I wanted to do something to give back to the rescue organization my wife and I adopted our Staffordshire Bull Terrier from. (RocketDogRescue) An idea for a 2014 calendar came up, and the next thing I knew I was photographing 29 dogs that had been adopted out by RocketDogRescue. I can honestly say I've never done anything like this before, and it truly felt so rewarding. I'd like to thank the great volunteers at RocketDogRescue for really making this something very special. Without giving away too much, here are a few photos that didn't make the calendar along with a behind the scene shot.

Nexus 5 Photography?
Nexus 5 Photography? Sure why not! In a world dominated by "iPhoneography," I'm doing my best to see what I can capture with this Droid. Currently my go to photo app is "Vignette," I really enjoy the ability to create custom presets and the clean over all look it gives my photos. Another great photo app to look out for is VSCOcam by Visual Supply Co (VSCO), currently in beta mode for the Android market. VSCO has built a great user community around their product which is another thing Android Photography lacks.

Here are some photos taken and processed with only the Google Nexus 5.
Japan
1996 was the last time I visited Japan and back then I didn't care about photography, traveling, or even Japanese food. At that time I went along with my parents to visit family members we had living in Tokyo. Fast forward to 2013... This time around things were definitely going to be different. I made sure to appreciate every little thing and adsorb as much of the culture as I could. Sensory overload would be a good way to describe my experience, I even slept through a 7.1 earthquake. I'd like to thank my cousins Lester & Jaydee for taking the time to be my guides, you can check out Lester's portfolio here:
