Hollywood in Black and White

I revisited some of the images I shot in 2010 on Hollywood Boulevard in search of a new challenge. In the past I only posted snapshots from my travels, and looking at these old images I saw a lot of potential in creating new edits for them. Hollywood is a tourist trap that's been photographed a million times, so I thought it would be fun to play with that vintage stereotype that's come to define the location. 

I edited all of my shots in varying shades of black and white, even masking textures on some to replicate vintage photographs. I wanted to play up the grittiness and textures, and treated the images like they were a backdrop to an old film noir. It was a completely different way of looking at the images that I originally shared here.

Around the Hat Promo 4

This is the fourth time that I've created a promo for my Around the Hat photo series. The last one, which debuted in March 2013, went on to get over 40,000 views. As I'm starting to wind down creating new content for the project, I'm now focused on emphasizing just how much material there is. With thousands and thousands of photographs to work with, the series is richer than ever.
