Paddling the Colorado River

Once a month, this group gets together to paddle down the Colorado River. Leaving from different points along the river each month, their day long treks are more than recreational adventures. Their volunteer efforts help provide valuable information to the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) – reporting back with river conditions, wildlife observations, and more.

New Work on the Web

Screen shot 2012 03 26 at 10 09 16 AM

Well, it’s been a long time in the works, but I’m happy to say that last night (or around 1ish this morning), I quietly updated all of the work on my site.

There’s plenty of new work, and a couple of new portfolios to go through.

I’ll be adding more images and at least one more portfolio soon, but until then, go check out today’s freshness at www.dfjphoto.com

Where Does The Time Go?

Jaimes 120311 8635 Blog

It seems that the days are slipping away just like the balloons in this image I shot last week.

Every time I think I might have some free time to catch up on my to-do list, another job comes up and I’m on the move again.

SXSW was a busy week for me, and now that’s finally over with, and today’s quick gig is done, I might actually be able to start hacking away at that list that stares me in the face every morning.

Speaking of SXSW – I haven’t shot any event or concert type work in a very long while, so it was fun to re-live that experience for Fader.

Some of the images went live today on the their site, so hop on over and take a look.

New Work On The Way

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been digging through all of my work in preparation for some much needed site updating.

Trying to sift through recent assignment work, while rediscovering images from years past, and editing through a lot of new personal work has proven to be a bigger task than I anticipated.

I’m excited to get this done because there’s a lot of new work that I’ve been itching to show off to the world.

2012 has started off as a transformative year in my creative approach. I’m pushing myself, my vision, and my techniques into new territory.

I showed some of this new work during the portfolio reviews at the Texas Photo Roundup in February, and the response was really good.

I don’t know that I have enough of the new work yet to warrant a separate gallery on my website, but we’ll see once the editing dust settles.
