Gym Photoshoot (Florida)

Once again I had the opportunity to do a fun shoot while in Florida. There is this great Martial Arts Muay Tia studio that I had the chance to photograph, with some of the owners and the people who train there. I even got a little lesson myself that I really enjoyed and made me wish that we a a gym like this close to us.

Winter Park, Florida

When I was in Florida, I had the chance to visit my Aunt, Uncle, and cousins. I love visiting family, it is a reminder of how lucky I am and what a great family that I have. While we were visiting, my amazing Uncle took us on his boat and gave us a tour of the surrounding lakes where he lives. It is just another reminder of how beautiful it is down there and makes me a little home sick. Thanks again Uncle Tom for allowing the kids to drive the boat. It is still what Gideon talks about.

Little Surfer boy

But more wonderful than the lore of old men and the lore of books is the secret lore of the ocean.
H. P. Lovecraft

When I was in Florida and walking the beach on a beautiful morning, I saw this cute little boy and father preparing to hit the waves. I was impressed by this little boy who would go out as far as the adults and by his amazing skill. I decided to go talk to the father and learned that this little 6 year old has recently become sponsored in surfing. He allowed me to take photos of his cute little boy and I have never met anyone so humbled and amazing as this kid. He truly loves what he does and has no idea how amazing he is. I wish him the best as he pursues his now surfing career and thank him for letting me take pictures of him.

Play time

I know that it seems that I have been slacking, but it is the complete opposite. I have been so busy lately, with work and life, that I have not had the time to post like I should. I had so much fun doing this shoot, even though the water was freezing, it was completely worth it. Working for me is like a kid in a candy shop, I can never get enough of it. It is just playtime all the time.

“Play is the only way the highest intelligence of humankind can unfold.”

Joseph Chilton Pearce quotes

Weekend Fun

Saturday was a full day of fun. I had the chance to finally put a few ideas into progress and shoot them. Here are a few from the shoot and then some just for fun.

The heart breaker photos were inspired by a photograph by Craig Sharp. He is an amazing photo manipulator, and one day I will be able to be as good as him.
