Italia: Adventure in Portofinio & Florence.

24 Hours in Marseille               We got tired of Spain and decided that I had enough time left before I had to be back in Paris, to drive to Italia and spend a few days. We drove from Barcelona to Marseille, where we spent one night to catch up on sleep and divide up the driving time. I woke up early and explored the nearby streets in search for a bakery,...

Espana: San Sebastian & Barcelona.

     After a little to long of being cooped up in Arthur's flat, the second that the car was fixed, we eagerly set off for our next adventure. Arthur had heard a lot of talk about San Sebastian so we decided we would go there. The spontaneous-ness was beautiful but little did we realize what our lack of planning was getting us into...

Colomiers

Aug 10 - 15 2013 - Directly After Paris.        Arthur has been living in Colomiers (which is a suburb of Toulouse) for the past eight months, apprenticing with a two Michelin star restaurant to pursue his dream of cooking and his love of food. We ended up staying at his flat for five days for some needed rest and due to the fact that his car battery had completely...

Paris: The City of Lights & The Beginning.

Before Departure,        I was determined to pack everything for my three week trip into a carry on bag. Why not just check a bag? ... because I didn't want to have to deal with the anxiety of rechecking my bags during my short one hour layover in Miami. And also the jet I was taking from Paris to Toulouse wanted an arm and a leg as payment for checking bags & I valued...

Pre-France.

11 days left.         Eleven days until I leave the country for the first time, step onto foreign land & see my best friend who has been tucked away in the south of France apprenticing with a chef for the past eight months. Eleven days until I start living my dream.        Anyone who has known me over the past six years has known...

BTS of my recent self portrait.

       It's been a long time since i've done a serious self portrait. I forgot how therapeutic it can be & I will start taking them more regularly, like I use to! Above are all of the shots I liked from the series....

Tybee & Savannah.

  (June)            So much has happened the past few months. They have been filled with some of the hardest times but are undoubtedly some of the best of months my life thus far. I hopped in a car with a bunch of unshaven band members, drove to Tennessee and had a crazy, shower-less, loud weekend. I fought, I forgave, and I was forgiven. I learned how to bake...

Tennessee.

(May) This road trip marks the start of my summer. Somehow speakers, an entire drum set & guitars, plus three other passengers and myself squeezed into my mini van and trekked up to Tennessee. Our Iphones didn't have service most of the drive and we relied on a map that was based off of loose landmarks to get us to the camp sight. We drove through some of the cutest american towns i've ever seen...

Here is a before & after for the photograph I released today! Its just a simple self portrait, but I thought that it was a perfect example of the power & impact Curves in Photoshop can have on an image. I achieved this image by using Curves, Layer Masks & a small amount of Gradient Maps. I am currently working on my own color study (because i'm a black & white fanatic). So i'm pushing...

Feb 20 2013: I live in good ol' suburbia, twenty minutes from the hustle and bustle of Atlanta. It's been a while since I've gone and done any exploring, gotten out of my comfort zone, or tried anything new. So these past few days I made a promise to travel out of my usual 15 mile radius and do something different! Sunday morning I traded my warm bed for the cold air, me and my good friend decided...

"Today is the first day of the rest of my life." That quote has been a part of my life for the past four years now. I remember sitting on my kitchen counter in our old apartment watching my mother write it on one of her paintings. Since then it has held a role in my life, some days in the most subtle and unique ways. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I recently released my website, and...
