Daikichi Amano, Personal photographer's portfolio, 2009.
www.daikichiamano.com
While not my typical subject matter Daikichi Amano has peaked my interest in his subject matter, lighting and use of elements of the sea to convey his interesting message. Daikichi images play strongly on mood emphasized by light, a strong theme I like to use in my own imagery.

I started a new project based on my playful nature as a photographer. Capturing different elements then I commonly do, I emphasized lighting my subject in almost a unnatural way. These images are a work in progress, with other elements being added as the project continues, but I feel they are worth showing before the process is complete.
Ty Giebel, Sonia's Curiosity, March 2011.
I chose this image based on what I envision as the final product. The strong use of light also adds to my interest.

Ty Giebel, Jordan's intrigue, March 2011.
Mixing up the monotony of the images I plan to have 12 different people reacting in different ways while still adding fluidity to the overall series.

Ty Giebel Tim's Shock, March 2011.
Following the theme I set for myself this plays into the interests and curiosity of the human race.

I have been shooting Radio Control vehicles almost every weekend for the last few months and this week was no exception. I had a couple guys approach me about shooting some of there custom creations a few days ago. This is some of what I got.

I chose this image because of the interesting background.

Ty Giebel, 3599, March 2011.

I chose this image based on the strong composition and the realism on this 1:10th size fire truck.

Shooting this "go fast" toy was a challenge in itself, Even the ability to have a shot that is compositionally pleasing was something of luck.

Beatrice Caracciolo, Cercare nella Terra(searching the land). 2010
www.paulacoopergallery.com

I chose this work for its raw quality, its over done highlights and low lights as well as its high grain count. It allows the viewer to look at the simpler aspects of the image without being overly critical.

Norman Rockwell, The Tattoo Artist, 1944.
www.brooklynmuseum.org
I have always been a fan of Norman Rockwell's work, this piece is no different; his ability to capture a somewhat painful and awkward event with what seems like ease as well as adding his own background based of the current trends of "flash"  is exquisite.

Slater Bradley & Ed Lachman, Shadow, 2010.

whitney.org

Although just a still from a video piece it is somewhat provocative; the central figure makes the viewer ask many questions leaving the viewer drawing their own conclusions.

Messing around the other day with some friends I brought out the camera to try and capture some of the debauchery.

Ty Giebel DirkZilla 2491, February 2010.
I chose this image for the "frozen in time" aspect of the Debris.

Ty Giebel, DirkZilla 2539, February 2010.

I chose this image for the sense of speed, although if I didn't tell you Im sure you never would have know it was going in reverse and slowly.

Ty Giebel DirkZilla 2622, February 2010.

I chose this image based on the nice short depth of field and the motion of the tire giving a sense of energy.
