A year ago today, two of my best friends, Tyler and Becca, got married. I had the incredible honor of photographing their wedding. They invited over some close friends last night to share with them their anniversary and anniversary cake. Surprisingly, year old cake is still delicious, if preserved correctly. There’s something really special about [...] Read more – ‘Happy Anniversary, Tyler and Becca’.
60° in Missouri, mid January, is an odd, beautiful thing. My friends Kate and Melissa and I went hiking (walking?) around some parks in Columbia. We hit up Devil’s Ice Box (the trail is open, but the actual cave is closed due to White Nose Syndrome killing so many bats) and Capen Park. We spent [...] Read more – ‘A Lovely Day for a Hike’.
As mentioned in my post from yesterday, winter break is very different time than any other, even though my day-to-day schedule isn’t really effected. I know everyone’s life is pretty different around the holidays, but living in a college town, working for Mizzou, living in a house full of students and being part of a [...] Read more – ‘Friends of Winter Break’.
Winter in Missouri brings a certain sort of quiet. It’s nice at first. Eventually it can feel a little suffocating. It’s reaching that point for me. I’ve enjoyed the slowness of things the past couple weeks, but I am ready for the life of the regular semester to kick back in. The first nine photos [...] Read more – ‘Quiet Missouri’.
I’m not even sure how to describe how awesome this New Year’s was. Standing with one of my best friends, Brett H, as he got hitched, and partying the night away with close friends. There were so many faces I hadn’t seen in a while. I am so blessed. Here is some music, though it [...] Read more – ‘New Years Eve, featuring Brett and Brook’s Wedding’.
Merry Christmas! I’m blogging right now as half my family is asleep in the living room from Christmas Dinner Coma. What a blessed day. The warmth of being around family and the remembrance of Christ’s birth. Earlier today while driving around, I listened to what I consider the mewithoutYou Christmas song: There’s something I really [...] Read more – ‘Christmas 2011’.
Here are some film shots I did the other night. I used an Alien Bees 400 with a small soft box on these, along with my Mamyia Rb67. These were shot on Fuji 400 ProH, if the title didn’t give that away already. I was experimenting with using external lighting with the Mamiya in general, [...] Read more – ‘Fuji 400 ProH’.
“But Keith, film is dead!” I don’t care. Despite Fuji and Kodak both dropping some pretty historic films recently, I have a hard time believing that the medium is disappearing for good anytime soon. Not until digital can actually catch up. Digital has the edge in convenience, no doubt, but until images those 1′s and [...] Read more – ‘Kodak 160NC’.
Yeah, I go Black Friday shopping. Whatofit? If you haven’t, you should. Just once at least. You’ll learn more about our culture in one night if you keep your eyes and ears open than you will over an entire season of Jersey Shore. I have to say that there is a tragic irony in the [...] Read more – ‘A Dark Friday’.
I think I’ve concluded that thankfulness must drive us to humility. Without that, it isn’t true thanksgiving… it’s more entitlement with recognition, or something of the like. There is no independence. We are contingent upon one another… and for a reason. Here is a glimpse into my family’s Thanksgiving. My nephew takes baths in the [...] Read more – ‘Give Thanks’.
