Julia Williams Photography said...

Beautiful!! Especially the first! But I think the last is awful... you totally can't tell that chick is balancing on one leg on a crumbling rock ;-) I guess that must be a testament to what awesome photogs you are! (or maybe what an awesome professional model I was, haha)
Also, it was nice meeting you and your lovely family. I'd really like to get together (lunch maybe?) sometime!
Oh, and the 'funny man' is my husband. He's always good for a (sometimes inappropriate) laugh!

Michael Andrews said...

LOVE the beautifully saturated blue on the last shot. Great composition. Nicely done, Dude.

Hybrid Photography said...

Hey, it was nice TALKING to you dudes. ;) Good stuff here chief. I have a really funny picture of you balancing on tiny rocks and it looks like you're walking on water. hahahaha

David Baxter-master of photography and bodies of water!

I was so glad I got to hang-out a bit with you guys again! Kimi, you never fail to make me laugh! Let's go watch a funny movie together! ha!

Awesome set of images! That first one is perfectly timed! Gorgeous!

P.s.you may want to check your sharpening settings. these look a little oversharpened on my monitor.

Dawn Malone said...

Thanks for forgiving me :)...I think
Rain made out hanging out with super cool Melissa. Can't wait to see her photos. You didn't do to bad yourself. These aren't bad...

HAHA! Okay,#1 is AMAZING! Wish I was there, but we enjoyed some good birthday meals.

Now off to check out April's blog (finally!) :)

OHANA PHOTOGRAPHERS said...

yah, we just figured out that our monitor is wacked out and what we see is WAY different than everyone else. when king david gets back we'll reupload the images and fix the settings on the monitor. xoxoxo

amber dawn said...

I love the one with the girl on that broken down bus thingy....so amazing...I LOVE contrast-y photos like that! That place looks so cool for a shoot...I wanna go! =)
Great job!

I really like that second picture. It's really moody. I've been checking out the other photographers on this post for other pictures. Some very cool pics. I think they're all really cool, all the pictures are so different yet the same. Can't wait to see more!

This is Sofie & Paul here! Paul doesn't normally comment on anyone's work unless he really likes what he sees & he's impressed! He's asked me to tell you that he loves what you've shot at Salton Sea. Paul loves the second shot in the Part 2 post and I love the the first shot in this post - in fact it was my favorite of all the ones posted on OSP :) Awesome work! And can't wait to meet you in Vegas!!!

OHANA PHOTOGRAPHERS said...

Hi, it's MARQU, MUA from the Salton Sea shoot. You are so talented and caught so many wonderful images. I have put your work up in my 3 places, website, myspace and model mayhem. I just wanted to say thank you and I would jump at an opportunity to do something with you again. Jessie feels the same way. We'd do another shoot with you in a heart beat.

I really like the shots that show the makeup. I will be loading another of yours soon. I will also put a link to your website from mine if you'd like-your site is so fun to visit. Love that song, by Bono??? I need to get that song!
Thank you again!
MARQUI

over to you and say hi towards the end of the day, but I think that
everyone was tired and starving at that point. You got some amazing
shots as well! I love that first one on your blog.

Take care :)
