World of Two: Multi-Jun


Multi-Jun

Apologies for the lack of recent updates. I have some new projects in the works, but am admittedly having some trouble getting it off the ground.

An old friend of mine asked me take a some engagement photos for him a while back. In addition to the traditional engagement style pics, he also asked me to do a surreal kind of shot. I took it as a chance to revisit a theme I did in August of last year with "World of Two". This one is much simpler than the previous, but I think there are definitely many technical improvements here.

More work to come soon...

Updates


Nowhere America, Atlanta - Boston

It's been a while, my apologies for the lack of updates. For the last few weeks I've had to put all art making activities on hold while I was making renovations to my portfolio site. The results of which, is a new and improved johnnytangphoto.com. I've made many structural changes, made the site a bit sleeker, and I've also added a webstore. I also added some new galleries, including "Bad Ghost Story" and "Tourist to Nowhere" which are compiled from some old work that I hardily ever show people. Be sure to check it out!!!

The Long Drive


Camera Head



I was in San Francisco a few weeks back for the annual Tang family vacation. While I generally don't like playing the tourist, it was good to get out and shoot in a different environment. I found San Francisco to be quite enjoyable, definitely much enjoyable than LA. San Fran had a distinct yet subtle character.

Along the way my brother and I also got a chance to drive down to San Simeon to see Hearst Castle. Hearst Castle for those who do not know, is a castle built at the top a steep hill by William Randolph Hearst (America's first media mogul) at the early part of the 20th century. There he ran his media empire and filled his house with antiques from Europe. It's probably the closest thing we have in America, to an actual palace of some sort.

Big Sur


I photographed this mountain range on three separate occasions on this trip. I had no idea until we passed by this trailer for the third time on the way back. This is probably my favorite shot from the trip.

The indoor pool, looks like something straight out of prince of persia.
