My Image in the Leica User Forum Book for Cancer Research!

August 6th, 2010 11:48 am

I had the great honor of having an image of mine published in the Leica User Forum Book along with many other great photographers.  The purpose of the book is to raise funds for Leica’s charity AICR (Association for International Cancer Research).  This opportunity has meant a great deal to me because my father was diognosed with cancer several years back.  Through cancer research he has recovered and is doing great.

If you are interested in helping support the cause you can do so by purchasing the book HERE.  The book is available for anyone to buy and AICR will receive £5 from each copy sold. So far over £7,000 has been raised just from the entry submissions alone!  Click here for a Thank You post from Leica’s Blog.

Here are a few images of the book and the image of mine that was published.  Unfortunatly they misspelled my name, but for the cause I guess I can let that slide :).  The last name reads “Orilion”, but needs to have two “L”s and read “Orillion”. Better luck next time I guess.

Camera: Leica M6
Lens: Voigtländer 28mm f1.9
Medium: Film – Ilford HP5+ ISO400
Location: Harbor Island in the Bahamas.

Enjoy!

“This photo book – the proceeds of which are being donated to the AICR (Association for International Cancer Research) – is an extremely successful illustration of the passion and dedication of a rather special Leica community. It leaves no doubt whatsoever that our customers are the best.”
- Herr Rudolf Spiller, Chief Executive, Leica Camera AG

    Hey J, I’m very happy for you, and i think you are completely deserving of this honor. Hope everyone realizes that your image was chosen by one of the best photography brands in the entire world! Quite sobering when you think about it huh? Anyhow, seems like all of your Leica shots are becoming some of the strongest images in your portfolio.

James Charles Rocked His First Year

May 21st, 2010 9:00 am

James Charles has officially ROCKED his first year in school.  Don’t forget about those first day of school pics!  Pre-K is officially over and was a huge success.  We will definitely miss the teachers he had this year, but I’m sure we will have great ones next year as well.  I just wanted to share an image I took of him this past year in front of an amazing truck full of hood ornaments. Great job James Charles!  Here’s to Summer!!!

Salk Institute Film Images: Leica M6

May 14th, 2010 10:45 am

Here are some scans of the Salk Institute that I shot last year in San Diego, Ca.  I posted one of the images as a wallpaper a while back, but I’ve never posted any of the actual images.  These were all shot on a Leica M6.

Enjoy!

San Diego Beach Night

September 21st, 2009 11:00 am

My brother left today for San Diego. As I was thinking about my recent travels to and from there myself I recalled a few more images from that trip. These, as well as the previous ones, were shot with film. I wasn’t sure what the exact outcome of these images were going to be because I was shooting a pretty long exposure hand held without a tripod. It was the middle of the night so needless to say I was pretty happy with the outcome!
Enjoy!

Fresh Fruit from the Bahamas

September 21st, 2009 10:58 am

I had so many little wonderful experiences while I was in the Bahamas. One of the best parts was meeting and visiting with the locals. This gentleman was running a fruit stand with so many great native fruits. We must have spent 45 minutes just visiting and trying diffrent fruit. It was here that I was first introduced to “sugar apples”. I’m not one to really try crazy things, but it was really good. I can still imagine the unique taste. Anyway… Here are a few shots.
Enjoy!
