Let’s Play Twister

Colorful architecture in Chinatown. I took this image in between shots at the faith + jason shoot.

Well, another work week has come and gone. I came down with a pretty nasty cold early on in the week so I’ve spent most of my time curled up in bed, feeling sorry for myself. I’ve been a human snot factory all week and spent more time than I care to admit daydreaming about all of the things I could be getting accomplished were it not for the fact that I felt like like death warmed over. I’m feeling well enough to get back to work today, though, so if you need me I can be found propped up in front of my computer, trying to act like a contributing member of society again.

Today’s Friday song is another cover. Chances are you’ve heard the original and it needs no introduction. The cover is done by Swedish indie-pop band, Shout Out Louds. There are many people who don’t like covers, but I always enjoy hearing a new take on an old favorite. I like to see how other bands reimagine a perfectly good song and make it their own. It’s not better, it’s different. I like different. Enjoy!

faith + jason

I got to hang out in Chinatown this weekend with Faith and Jason, a gorgeous couple who wanted some nice portraits together and came to me with the task of making them look gorgeous in photos. I use the term “task” very lightly––as you can see from the photos below, these two have absolutely zero chance of looking bad––in a photo or elsewhere. This made my job ridiculously easy. They stood around being lovey-dovey and silly with each other and no matter what angle I shot them from, they looked fantastic. My favorite kind of subjects!

I decided to go to Chinatown about an hour or two before the sun began to set, hoping to get some of that delicious “golden hour” light, and boy, am I glad I did that. The light was nearly edible, which only served to make this fine couple even more photogenic. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day. Thanks to Faith and Jason for not being afraid to get silly with me in Chinatown!

Yet another sloppy border; yet another old photo from Chinatown. Give me a break, I’m busy! Besides, I really kinda like this one.

Alone in Kyoto

Another old image (guess who hasn’t been taking photos!), this one from almost two years ago, I think! Allow me to introduce you to my friend Karl. He doesn’t like to have his photo taken–you’ve probably gathered this from his expression. But that doesn’t stop me from forcing him to pose for photos! I am lucky in that he always obliges–what a pal! This photo was taken during an exploration of Chinatown with a few friends. I miss explorations, I need to arrange one of those soon.

As you can see, I’m trying out the whole “sloppy border” look with this one. I kinda like it … what do you think?
