…hello to everyone who is still visiting my site! it has been too too long!

sorry to all of you who have been looking for new work and new blogs. its not that i have been slacking, i have just been all over the place, mentally. i have been busy busy. for the last couple weeks i have actually been focusing on a complete body of work for a portfolio. i am putting my heart and soul into a new body of paintings. i am still sketching up some pieces and trying some new painting techniques but i am hoping to pitch these pieces to a couple different cafes and galleries. but to all of you who like my photography i am grateful and i just want to let you all know that i am still working and trying to shoot as often as possible. i am hoping to have a new barrage of work soon!

until next time, which wont be a month from now, I PROMISE,

hello,

Hope everyone has been doing well. I have been busy busy, but trying to have a life whenever possible. I figured i would post something new while my french toast sticks are warming up. i haven’t been able to go out at take any photos worth posting. however i have been working on some other art works that am excited about.

I am very pleased with the last group of photos i have posted. i think they came out lovely considering the environment. I was anxious to shoot and i was able to get some of my co-workers to model. it was late after work and we had to improvise. the photos were taken in the corner of an apt living room. the walls were white and we used a couple lamps to light it. i wished i had some descent studio lights but i haven’t had the money to buy them just yet. however the lights worked pretty well. they all had a orange tint which i knew would happen, however i went into the shoot knowing i wanted to produce black and white images and had an idea for post production. most of those images are cropped in camera.  i brought them into Photoshop and did a little work. did a little work with levels, and burning and dodging. overall im excited.

hope to have new ones up soon.

until next time,

Hello fans,

So with work and the deeds of normal life, I have been slacking AGAIN with my posts.

Well here’s an update on my life!

I have been shooting some photos and drawing some sketches for some upcoming paintings and multi-media art works I plain on doing.

I will be posting a couple new photographs soon. I had a recent shoot that was mostly model esc works, but I was able to capture a couple artsy photographs which is my obvious preference.

With the help of my brother I was able to score a gallery in Scranton PA in November. I will be using some of my new photos along with some older works. I am wicked excited!!!

As of now, I am in Oneonta with my gf, relaxing. I will be scanning in some of my  paintings, drawings, and multi media in near future, in order to post them on the site!!

I hope the near future holds some fun and interesting adventures.

Until next time,

-Philip J.

hello everyone,

HOLY MOLY!  Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, things have been a little crazy. Cali was a blast. Not going to write out the whole trip but  here is cliff noted version on the cliff notes… hung out with pro skateboarders such as Jamie Thomas, Erik Ellington, Jimmy Carlin, Garrett Hill at the black box skate park…witnessed a best trick contest involving Slash, Chris Cole, Jimmy Carlin and others. Skated Venice beach and some street gap on Fairfax street in LA. Had a 5 hour flight delay on the way home but managed to get the last 3 tickets on an earlier flight home. Cali was awesome.

ohh yea i also took a couple photos, but not as many as i wish.

Otherwise life is going well and is hectic. I am looking to move in with my girlfriend in the next 2-3 weeks. hope all goes well with that. And possibly work with another artist up there and possibly land some gallery shows!!

I have a couple wedding photos to post that are done, and I will be working  on some cali photos. I also have couple photos of my dad. He had his shoulder replaced this week and it looks awesome!

until next time, which i hope is soon!
