How you been?

Forgive me for it has been some time.  I have been very busy but that is a good thing! So let me catch you up on the life of j.wirth and the Lightwriterz crew.

We all have been wanting to photograph the airport and we did! you just cant get too close.  I don't feel like going to jail.  We all had a great time and of course learned some things!

I give you the beautiful Ashley Steinbech!  What I wonderful model to work with!  And it was her first time but she tore it up this girl is going to go far in the modeling world.  Thank you to Shelby Stone for hair and make up, a big shout to Cristobal Silva for coming and shooting and letting me use his 7D and 5D mark II (I think I am in love with a camera!)

Now let me tell you something! You want to hear a great band check out "The Mighty Fine"  a fine trio indeed! Also good friends of mine,  what a great show,  3 photographers I think we blinded everyone but all is fair in love and war and photography is both in my mind.  I was honored to shoot next to Richard Fussillo what an amazing photographer!

To me this is true, I was so low on money for some time that I lived in a garage so I could still photograph and so that I could keep my husky! Now if that ain't true love for both photography and my best friend then I don't know what love is.

Thanks for reading, if you did and see you later.

Maybe, maybe not?

    Another long day but I wouldn't have it any other way.  Today I had the Honor of bringing another Lightwriter into the Lightwriterz family! Jackie Rodriguez welcome to the fam! Here is a photo of her.

   As most photographers she prefers being behind the camera.  A few of us went out to show her a few things and we had a good time, lots of laughs and we showed her a few things. Proud to see what she came up with.

  In the top left corner that is the moon we were able to watch it rise.  Its always nice to see the moon come out.

3 shoots in one day.

If I had the choice I would do nothing but shoot my camera all day and never have to work.  Maybe one day I can live off my photography.  All my work is for sale.  First I went to visit a friend to photographer her dog.

After that I ran over to meet up with a model who wants to shoot with me.  With how pretty she is this will be easy, lets see how she does with a camera in her face?

I think she will do just fine.  After that I went with my good friends down to solvang to eat and tear up the down a bit?

I did some damage.  With all that I am done for the night.

A Very long day

So running on no sleep sucks.  Anyways to more important thing, I don't want to waste your time here.  About a year ago I went to Brooks Institute open house. (I would give up everything to go there, 100,000 loan is a lot and cant get a co-signer for that one)  They were talking about how important re shooting is, So tonight I went with a friend and did just that.  So here is my first time about a month ago or maybe a little longer.  Taken with my D90 before I understood long exposure.

1st Blog.

    A few people have told me that I should blog my photos, so here it goes.  I Photograph everyday.  If I dont I feel weak, I feel sick, I do not feel complete.  As I go around and photograph I run into some really cool places that very few know about,  I meet some really Rad people.  And today just that happened.  So I figured to start this blog today.  So let me show you the photograph first and Ill tell you the story after.

  So for the last three years I have been riding sport bikes and this house is out on Foxen Canyon Rd.  I have rode past this house hundreds of time and always thought it was very pretty but never stopped, well because I was always going way too fast, sometimes on one wheel right past this house.  Yet today my friend Joe Marks another photographer and I were driving by finding places to photograph like we always are and we decided to photograph it.  Well for the first times in the past 3 years there were people out front and I asked if we could photograph it and they said yes.  Turns out this house was built around an adobe house in 1850 and In 1875 is when they built the whole house.  The lady who was so kind to show us around grew up in this house her whole life (1940's). I even touched wall paper that has been up scince 1875!  Let me tell you something this house is the most beautiful house I have ever seen. I will be getting in contact with her and sending her some photographs.  To have a great day photographing and meeting someone so nice and understanding of the art is a day worth remembering and sharing.
