romantic engagement photo 300x198 Brooklyn Based Fine Art Photographer / Architect James Chororos pictures“I am an architect at Studio Daniel Libeskind (www.daniel-libeskind.com), but I spend the majority of my free time with my camera. I focus on fine art photography, portrait sessions, engagements, weddings, and architecture and typically shoot with a 5D Mark ii and some polaroids. I discovered my love for making images in graduate school, where we’d regularly need to describe our designs through drawings, imagery, and models. Continue reading →

Pat O’Brien Photo

“My name is Pat O’Brien and I am an aspiring photographer. It is not my full time job, but it is my full time hobby. I enjoy photographing all kinds of subjects – from landscapes to people. It’s what allows me to be creative.

I first picked up a camera when I was young, and enjoyed taking “pointless” photos. It wasn’t until I got my first digital camera that I really enjoyed photographing everything. Mostly because the digital images were “free”, and I saved a lot of money not having to develop film.

I was in the Army National Guard from 1999 to 2003. My job was Military Police. My unit commander wanted to get unit information out into the public more and he knew I had an interest in photography. So the decision was made to send me to an Army Public Relations class focusing on photography and military photojournalism. The course was only 2 days, but I had walked away feeling more confident about being able to tell a story with my images. It was this class that really was the beginning of my interest to learn more, and do more with photography.

The purpose for this site is to share ideas I have, or articles I’ve seen on the internet, with others. Some of it may be redundant or pointless, but we can’t collaborate if we don’t communicate.”

About 1259pm.com

12:59 p.m. The final minute of the lunch hour. Most nine-to-fivers are heading obediently back to the workplace, after having spent their lunch hour… well, eating lunch. I’m also heading back to the office, but have probably just gotten Wendy’s chili to go after spending my lunch hour doing other things.

This photo blog is an outlet for me to share photographs I’ve taken prowling the streets of downtown Pittsburgh during my lunch hour. You’ll see a lot of ill-conceived street photography, but also architecture, cityscapes, urban decay, abstractions, and whatever else strikes me. Of course, I take pictures at other times and in other places, so look for those here too. But as long as I have other things competing for my time, the convenience of lunchtime photography will remain a reality, and the resultant shots a recurring theme here.

I’ll make updates every few days or so; naturally they’ll appear at 12:59 p.m.

Taking pictures is one of my favorite hobbies. I enjoy photographing people, children, lightning, fireworks, architecture and everything else worthwhile. I am continuously trying to improve my skills. Though there is still a very long path to go. Luckily I have time for that.

I am a big fan of strobist techniques (see: http://www.strobist.com). David Hobby really learned me how to light better. I’m taking at least one strobe with me if I go out for shooting.

I started with a little Minolta F-100. At that time it was a nice camera and small enough to hide it in the handbag of my wife. Unfortunately I took zero action shots. It was way too slow. Switching it on, lens coming out, start zooming, focusing and finally taking the picture took around ten seconds.

Afterwards I bought a Nikon D70s with the Nikkor 18-70mm DX lens. Finally a “real” camera. It was so much easier to capture action. As soon as available I purchased the Nikkor 18-200mm DX allrounder and the Nikkor 12-24mm DX wide angle. The 18-200mm lens is excellent for traveling. Despites its huge zooming range, the optical quality is pretty good. The 12-24mm is one of my favorites. I love to shoot wide angle, it gives so much depth to my pictures. A bit later I bought my first flash: a Nikon SB-600.

After one year and a half I sold my D70s with the 18-70mm and bought a Nikon D200. It’s and excellent camera for me: much better sealed for dust and rain, big LCD screen, pretty fast and very easy to adjust many controls without using menus. In addition I got the SB-800 too for more power and possibilities….
