Thanks to one of my design blogs, I stumbled across photographer Phillip Toledano's emotional scrapbook/photographic journey of his time with his 98-year-old father, who suffers from short-term memory loss.
The pictures are beautifully done with great care to showing all of his father's age and wisdom...and all of the sad moments. Plus, his commentary only compliments the photographs, which talk about his father's humor, how he wishes he would die, and telling his father everyday that his wife is gone.
All in all, this is one of the best photographic journeys I have stumbled upon. I found myself choking back tears numerous times, but maybe that's because my beloved 81-year-old grandfather was just diagnosed with Alheizmer's and I'm starting to realize some of the same things that Toledano is.
Please tell me what you think of this collection.
Please visit Days With My Father.

Ever since being reintroduced to the song when I watched the movie "Casino," I have been overplaying "House of the Rising Sun" by the Animals (the best version, I think).
I'd love to do a photo shoot inspired by this; there are so many old fields and we've had such beautiful weather lately...I think this could be possible. I think in order to actually use the line involving the house itself I'd have to find an old house, but I don't think it's all that necessary.
Keep pushing me to do this if you don't see anything by the end of July. I really want to try this.

I got my first news feature today in a typography story.
The featured piece was a typographic composition using only black and white and the letter "k." See that piece here: K's the Limit

I'm taking the photos at my roommate's sister's wedding. I'm scared as this is my first wedding and I don't exactly have all the equipment I need.
Nor do I know exactly know what I'm doing.
Actually, I haven't been this scared in ages.
I'm sure I'm going to break some sort of wedding photographer taboo, but I just hope that I get some amazing pics on Mal's big day. I'm going to take a very contemporary approach. We'll see how this all goes.
Although, all in all I'm excited to prove myself once and for all as the photographer I believe I can be.
WISH ME THE BEST OF LUCK.
