My Current girlfriend

She's so cool, and she keeps me warm.

P.S. The reason it says JDPhotography and not JDEPhotography is because I did this before me and erasto officially teamed up.

And Lamar if you read this, I don't want to hear any jokes in reference to the title, lol.

Yanks rule, Boston Sucks...

The title is factually true :)

Went to the game the other day, we (Yankees) won of course, I wouldn't have it any other way!

Heres one of a just a handful of decent shots.

I do cartoons too...

Original: (drawn by hand in college)

On computer: (drawn on the computer by hand)



Final cut:
with some shading

Summary:
Like the title says I also do cartoons. I've been drawing all my life. As a matter of fact Elijah and myself have always been artist. We met at an Art High School. Anyway.... I drew this cartoon in college. I wanted it to be able to show others my work, but they are all stuck in a sketch book, and scanning is lame cause it would look bad.

So this is where Adobe Illustrator comes in. My boy Chubb showed me some things and now here I am. This is my first computer generated cartoon. There are major flaws in the lines and what not but, hey its my first.

The Start of the HANDS...

I started a small project on Hands. It was a project about the uses of the Hands that we take for granted. Hands help us in our lives in almost everything we do. We can't conduct our daily lives constructively without using our hand, they are extremely vital to us. Thats why I wanted to pay homage to this instruments we take for granted.

This photo is the first photo I took for my HANDS project. The hand is actually Elijah's (Erasto) hand. He was messing around on the piano and in an instant I saw the vision. If you notice there is a figure in the background, that's his girlfriend Cortnei.

Oh yea, he doesn't really know how to play the piano.

Dead hoop dreams :(

I started playing basketball in the 5th grade, after my mom could no longer afford Private schooling for my sister and I, she to put us in Public school. It was the best thing that ever happened to me! I was always an active kid, running and playing around but I never played basketball before. In Public school that was all the kids my age did! PLAY BASKETBALL!!!

I loved it, I thought I was going to the NBA, I thought I was the next Michael Jordan. But lack of self confidence in High School and a whole lot of other factors (namely my 5'10" stature). But not to bored you guys with my own insecurities, I name this photo Dead Hoop Dreams!

NEW YORK, NEW YORK

It's New York, gotta love it

The Bridge

A couple of ways I see the bridge

Rope... Hand... Man I don't know!

I did this photo for an up and coming HANDS project. I didn't see the vision in the photo, but it came out kinda nice. I'm going to have to re-shoot this with the proper props, but I must admit the lighting came out nice on this one. This photo is nice and sharp!

P.S. I don't like something about this photo but I didn't feel like doing extensive editing so I decided to leave it.

To bad it's a reject

She's gotta love it

This is a representation of love in its natural form, she can dance anywhere

A short but hard walk...

Jamaica once again...

The walk to the burial site look like something straight out of the early 1900's.

The Heart of a Solider

I took this photo in Jamaica at grandmother's funeral. It was a very sad day because she was well loved. This is a photo of my cousin who is a solider in the US Army. For me it shows his hurt, his pain, and raw emotions for a woman who is truly missed.

-Josh

Lazy dogs :)

So I went to Jamaica last November (2007) for my Grandmother's funeral and the day after I landed I brought out the camera. My aunt has these 2 dogs that were just chilling in the sun. I decided to snap a few shots of the dogs. Here is a sample.

Winter in Brooklyn

It was a very very cold winter night (probably January) in Brooklyn by the library in Grand Army Plaza. I was freezing my you know what off! I came out with this great shot. I kinda wish that bus wasn't zooming through my shot but I'll take it anyhow.
