Anny Knight

Houston is a big place. I was reminded of that in two ways recently. First, I was contacted by Anny, a Belmont Junior who had heard of my work and lives in Houston. There are a lot of us Belmontians in Houston. Second, I had to get up at 8:30am so that I could drive an hour across this huge city to be in Spring by 10. In any case, Anny and her sisters and I had a lot of fun on this Christmas Eve portrait session. Enjoy.

See a few more and see them larger on Flickr.

Home is where my house is.

So I'm back home in Sugar Land for Christmas, and it's a bit boring. No offense Sugar Land, it's not you... it's me. In any case, I've been spending most of my days entertaining my stepbrother Wyatt. The past few nights, I've been able to go out and take some photos with a few friends.

These following photos are from my old house, my favorite house. This is the house that I spent my most formative years in, middle and high school. After I moved to Nashville my mom and step-dad sold it and moved up to Austin. It's been abandoned ever since. I present to you, my walk down memory lane (hopefully there will be more to come, I'm going to try and get inside tonight).

Thanksgiving

Well it's been about a year since I started this blog, my first post down there at the bottom is from Thanksgiving last year. Well it's Thanksgiving again, no senior portraits this year though, I'm stuck at the ranch. It's for the better though, I'm still working on my senior thesis exhibition which is based around the town that my parents' ranch is in, Paige, TX, and being at the ranch gives me a chance to get a few more shots. Here's what I got tonight, hopefully I'll be getting some more tomorrow during the day.

Shooting shows...

I love to do it. Shoot shows that is. If you're in Nashville and you have a show let me know and for a very small fee (some AA batteries, cover and a few beers) I'll shoot it. Here are some photos from the last show I shot. Spider Friends, Diarrhea Planet, and a couple others.

Don't call it a comeback.

I haven't been updating, primarily because only two people read this (thanks Jenilee and Drew!). Anyway, here's a quick run though of what you've missed.

-Blvd, thanks to the efforts of the aforementioned Jenilee, has blown up, we've had at least three shoots a week for most of the semester. Here are a few of my favorites:

(this is not how his face normally looks... he was jowling)

- I invested in some professional lighting equipment.

- I'm starting a new series of photographs based around my friends' houses in Nashville. This is a test shot from the first shoot:

That's all for now. I'm going to keep this updated from now on. Scouts honor.
