Power

Knowledge is power, we all have heard this at least once somewhere. On this photograph I wanted to feature the influence of many of us, the food of our brains, the knowledge we desire. I wanted to give the illusion of books being magical (which they are). The internet has giving us so much knowledge as well and is so accessible, we have a question, we just take our smartphones out and ask Mr. Google. Knowledge has turn ordinary men into wise men, knowledge has given the human race the ability to be civilized and most importantly the ability to survive in this cruel world. Knowledge created this photo.

"Knowledge is Power"

Mysterious

Years ago I came upon this video of a little innocent looking girl (watch here) in a mirror. It seemed like she was just being goofy playing with her hair and smiling at the mirror. When she turned her back to the mirror and looked straight at the camera her reflection stayed paused for a second and then her face turned black and evil. More than scary I though this was so cool and mysterious so I decided to copycat with a photo instead of a video and the results are very intriguing. I posted this on my photography facebook page and it was a hit. It probably took me about eight shots to get this photo as perfect as I wanted it. This is the results of feeling mysterious. What do you think of the image?

"The Mirror"

Nostalgic.

All day long I was thinking about "Street Fighter" while in grade school, that was the only and best way to interact with my brothers. I'm the youngest in my family of six including my parents, so everything "Hugo" wanted "Hugo" got, so my brothers had a little hate on me. My parents are the hard working "we have to keep hip for our kids" parents, so they bought us the nintendo console. I was maybe 10 or 11 years old when I was mesmerized by a plastic square called "Nintendo." One of the best and ultimately my favorite game was "Street Fighter" my brothers and I played for hours, maybe days! As time passed by I became the best and arguably the only one that could beat anybody on that game. So now as a 30 year old man I thought why not create one of my best moves on "Street Fighter" the "hadoken" move to eliminate once and for all the debate of who was the best of my brothers and I. So here it is this amazing photo in one shot with my beautiful girlfriend.

CREATIVE.

The exact moment of a great idea, that urge you get when you think of something great, maybe an invention or a poem and you just have to write it down because you are scared your idea will vanish into your home’s venting system. Those are the moments that separate ordinary men from extraordinary. All it takes is one great moment one great thought a split second and then magic conquers your brain and you get up and make it happen! For this photograph I felt that great idea I felt the urge to get creative and shoot something out of the ordinary, something that seems unreal, perhaps fictitious. But how would we know if when we sleep our muscles become paralyzed and our brain is almost in a comatose state. “CREATIVE"
