"Where is he? Where's Peter Pettigrew?!" 

About the Project

Sirius Black is one of the most popular characters in JK Rowling’s Wizarding World, outside of Team Potter.
Ever since the release of the 3rd book, we Potter-heads have been dying for a Marauders prequel; specifically the story of how Sirius Black hunts down Peter Pettigrew and is wrongfully arrested for the murder of 12 muggles at the conclusion of The First Wizarding War. This storyline has SO much potential and makes us all squeal at the very thought of it . . .

Panoramas

I really like shooting HDR panoramas for some reason. I find myself doing it even if I don't really think the picture needs the format. It just gives me more pixels to work with and I can print much larger. Here are a few of my favorites.

I Talk to Strangers: Day Two Cowboy Brian

 Cowboy Brian is living his dream. He owns a 40 acre ranch in Nevada which has always been what he wanted to do even while living in New York. Talking to Cowboy Brian is always a lot of fun he has a great sense of humor and a ton of interesting stories.

I Talk to Strangers: Day One Wally O.

 I am going to use my 30 day challenge to revisit a previous 30 day challenge from 2010. This time I have learned from my mistakes and am getting model releases each day and plan to eventually publish a book titled "I Talk to Strangers". I have found this to be a very difficult challenge so on those inevitable days when no one will allow me to photograph them, I will just use one of the list items instead.

 For my first day I photographed Wally O. from Sparks Nevada. I have known Wally for quite a while but did meet him as a total stranger the first time I lived in Nevada. Wally was born in Pennsylvania in 1937 and has an incredible sense of humor. He is currently struggling with dementia but still helps a lot of people with his stories from the past. He was homeless in his younger years and shares his life experiences with anyone who needs help.

Faux Painting to match Zircote Veneer

I recently faux painted a plastic mask that I glued on a Zircote veneer wood panel. I wanted to try and get as close a match as I could to keep in practice.

I picked up one of these masks at Michaels and super glued it to my wood panel. I did the faux painting using artist oil colors and dye stain toners with a 2k urethane sealer and top coat. I'm still thinking about what else I can do to it so I guess it isn't finished yet.
