Sorry We’re Closed
Sweet Rontia
Isn’t Rontia adorable? We connected because our names are almost exact anagrams of each other – how cool! I love her smile and fun sense of style. She chose this outfit for picture day – pretty chic for an eight year-old!
Blue Windows
“There comes a time in a man’s life when to get where he has to go – if there are no doors or windows he walks through a wall.”
~ Bernard Malamud
Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil
Some of my goals for the New Year. Are you ready for 2012? I say bring it on!!!

Polara
I briefly mentioned my internship at Polara here, but I definitely didn’t say enough. There’s no question that I want to spend at least part of the time working in a commercial photography studio, and Polara is an awesome one to be in (Harlem Globetrotters during the Curly Neal years – seriously, this is my kind of place). You name it, they shoot it. The pace there is fast, with easily three completely different shoots going on on any given day. Plus, sometimes Muffy, the Studio Manager, sets out an oatmeal bar for breakfast. Yes, I said oatmeal bar – I mean, how can you beat that?
Urban Landscapes
I’m so happy to announce the opening of my show, Urban Landscapes, at the Water Avenue Commerce Center, 1028 SE Water Avenue. Urban Landscapes opens today and will be up through November 30th. Seventeen images portraying grit and graffiti from the neighborhood around the Water Avenue Commerce Center itself down to Oaxaca City. You can enter the building through Water Avenue Coffee or Bunk Bar – so grab a latte or a cocktail and come and check it out!
For those of you interested in purchasing a piece from out of town, please email me at info at ronitphoto dot com, and I’ll send you a link to a web gallery along with pricing and shipping information.
Gun Room Melodies
Right, so that shoot with Emily. Her band is called Gun Room Melodies, so what better place to stage some promo shots than, where else, The Gun Room? And with four musicians loaded with personality and a gun stylist (yes, I did say gun stylist), we were bound to have a good time. Gun Room Melodies is Emily Miller, DJ Woods, Darren Canfield and Nick Russo – be sure to check their fb page for future shows!
Curves
If it doesn’t excite you,
This thing that you see,
Why in the world,
Would it excite me?

Hungry and Foolish
“Stay hungry. Stay foolish.”

Have you seen Steve Jobs’ Stanford University commencement speech? If you haven’t, watch it. Now.
