A sunrise over the city of Murder we love

All that beauty…and all that death

As a photographer and Creative Director, I have to search and find new locations to shoot. So I have wanted to take some sexy fashion, glamor, and editorial photos with the river and sunrise as a backdrop. Since I knew it was going to be 70 degrees today, I knew this was the best day to do it. So, I stayed up all night long and got out there in the dark around 5ish. The damn sun didn't come up until around 7ish because it was so cloudy. However, cloudy days always make the best photos. So what started out as a location shoot turned into some beautiful photos? These photos are completely untouched, and are only a few hours old.

There really isn’t much to say about these pictures other than, I cannot help but marvel at the juxtaposition between all of this beauty and yet all of the murders, rapes, thefts, and heinous acts which will happen here today. All that beauty…and all that Death.

Here is my little brother Todd Mills

I love this dude to death and I know you will too.

I took this photo at my mother's birthday party under his harsh and ugly dining room light. I airbrushed his skin, removed the wrinkles under his eyes and neck, whitened his eyes and teeth some. I tried to remove that huge shiny spot on top of his head but it was too noticeable. I also slimmed his face down some. Here is what the picture looked like before I touched it up.




Here is his photo after I touched it up a little bit.
