Photos from Gray, GA

without comments

My friends Austin Cabot, Drake Simmons, and I went out to Gray today to shoot some photos and stumbled upon an old cement plant around sunset. We took some pretty cool photos, and Austin let me use his Tokina 12-24 (one of the most fun lenses I have used). Anyway, here are some of the pics.

New Site

without comments

This is my first update on this site, I just got it online about 3 days ago and am still getting used to building it, although Expression Web makes it quite a bit easier with the graphical interface. Speaking of Expression Web, any students using Windows can download the entire Expression Studio free with the Dreamspark program, which (I assume) is to get students using Microsoft products early, but free is free. Adobe also has an education pricing program to help students out, which is what I used to get Lightroom 2.

I will try to update this section regularly, so make sure to check back for updates as I finish building the site!
