Second Annual Skate for Catherine

The Catherine Elizabeth Blair Memorial Fund is a local non-profit dedicated to raising funds for developing treatments for the childhood cancer neuroblastoma. Last year the foundation held its first benefit event – “Skate for Catherine!” – on March 1st at Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Arlington, Virginia (blog entry here). I had the honor of shooting their event again this year this past Friday, March 8th. Here are some of the photos! You can click on each for a larger version. […]

Sonia Coonen, Part II: Medium Format Film

Last week I published a set of photos that model Sonia Coonen and I created with digital camera. This set of photos are the analog images that were made. The film used was Kodak Portra 400 at ISO400. The camera used was a Mamiya RB67 Pro-SD and the images were shot with a 90mm and 190mm pair of lenses. There truly is nothing that matches the beauty of real film. The process, the chemistry, the anticipation, and the image. With digital […]

Sonia Coonen, Part I: Digital

I had the pleasure of shooting with model Sonia Coonen this past Saturday. We had contacted each other on Model Mayhem and agreed to meet the next day for some test photos. Though a bit bright, the day was fortunately evenly overcast and lent itself nicely to our use. Sonia has a great look and attitude. We hit it off nicely and were able to shoot digital and medium format film images. This entry will feature images shot digitally with […]

The Sean Meyers Memorial Extravaganza: Norman Rockwell

Norman Rockwell is a band that knows how to get down. The band, formed in the damp warmth of poorly ventilated and heavily cramped open mic known as the Soundry, is the combined force of Josh Johnston, Ben Hirsch, Nathan Read, and the late great Sean Meyers. Sean, who unexpectedly passed away this past November, was memorialized this past Friday at The State Theatre in Falls Church, Virginia. Sean, the baby faced and magnanimous host of that open mic was […]

The Sean Meyers Memorial Extravaganza: The Family Plots

This past Friday I had the pleasure of watching some of my amazing friends perform at The State Theatre in Falls Church in memory of an amazing guy, Sean Meyers. Sean was the bassist of one of the performing bands, Norman Rockwell. I knew Sean originally from the Soundry in Vienna, Virginia – he hosted a great open mic there for years before it migrated to Epicure Cafe in Fairfax after the Soundry sadly closed its doors. Sean was an amazing and […]

A Wandering Roll of 120

I love medium format. Film is my absolute favorite way to shoot. Photos were all made from a single roll of Ektar 100 shot with a Mamiya RB67 SD Pro. First three captures were taken in September at Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania, the next four at the National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in Maryland (a really neat roadside stop, even for a heathen like me), and the last three frames were shot in December outside […]

Marisa and Geordi, Manassas National Battlefield Park

I went on a short walk at Manassas National Battlefield Park this weekend with Marisa and Geordi. The place was absolutely littered with photographers! We timed the trip nicely with the sun – there’s nothing better than natural light, especially during Autumn. All photographs were made with a Canon 5DII and the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L II lens at ISO400. Visit J.Yi Photography on Facebook!

Northern Virginia CureSearch Walk 2012

CureSearch is a national non-profit organization supporting childhood cancer research, raising money to help fund the Children’s Oncology Group (COG), a network of 200+ hospitals, universities, and cancer centers working together to reach a 100% cure rate for childhood cancer. A few weeks ago I had the honor of covering the 3rd Annual Northern Virginia CureSearch Walk. Last year’s walk , which I also covered, raised over $80,000… this year’s walk raised over $125,000! Congratulations to everyone for a great walk! […]

Sheri Miller, With Hearts in Her Eyes

I recently coordinated a shoot with model Sheri Miller (MM# 2556797). We wanted to have an outdoor shoot to take full advantage of the unusually pleasant weather and decided on a light fashion/editorial concept. After drafting out a few shots and setting a date we went for it! You can click on any of the thumbnails for a larger version. All images were created with a Canon 5D mark II and a Canon 70-200 f/2.8L II lens. We were able […]

Norman Rockwell… Rocks Well

Last night I had the pleasure of covering Norman Rockwell‘s show at The State Theatre in Falls Church, Virginia. One of the finest bands local to the Washington, D.C. area, the headliners were joined by fellow local acts The Independent and Mokey Doris. If you haven’t made it to a Norman Rockwell show yet… you really should. Click here for an epic gallery of Norman Rockwell from the show. I shot the show with my Canon 5D Mark II. While […]
