recent landscape work
I love landscape photography. The way the light changes every 30 seconds and the way waiting always seems to have a big payoff in some undiscovered color or light reflection. To me being outside at the golden hour is like being in god's photo studio. I'm lucky that I'm seeing more demand from clients for my landscape work, here are →

The shape of the background lights that are out of focus is the same shape as the aperture of the lens. Some lenses are more octagonal and some like the canon 50.102L are →
Kundalini Gong Meditation
The playing of the Symphonic Gong is an integral part of the mediation practice of Kundalini yoga. I did a couple photo shoots last week for Mehtab at Yoga Yoga in Austin who teaches workshops and has written a book on the subject.To quote another source:The Gong has all the sounds of creation within it.
