head scratcher

Well, I’m back. Coming home is so bittersweet. It’s so good to see the family and the girlfriend and the dogs, but it’s hard to bid the road and the spontaneity of traveling adieu. Such is life. Thank you so much for all the dropped lines while I was away; I’m hitting the emails hard and I’ll get back to you shortly, now.

Three weeks of daily inspirations yielded a daunting number of images, and while I wanted to put together a little series for the blog, time management dictated that the inbox takes precedence. So, I’ll be leaking a frame or two every once in a while to add a little variety to the posts. A frame from the road…

Hugh - @aj – thanks for stopping by. yeah, i’m all over twitter… you can follow the ‘status’ link in the blog menu to my twitter acct. see you there!

AJ - Excited to see the rest of your pictures! I’m following your posts now. Are you on twitter?

Hugh - @chloe – thanks a bunch! i am def feeling the need for a little central cal excursion sometime soon.
@davo – hats make my entorhinal cortex itch. weird, huh?
@sara – swedish babes, left and right ;)
@rich – thanks, bud. generic or not, i hope to oblige with more travel frames soon. thanks for stopping by.

Rich - I hate to leave the generic comment, “Can’t wait to see more.” but it’s true. I love photographic voyeurism of other peoples’ travels…this photo is rad.

Sara Morris - love it! can’t wait to see the rest of them. esp with models like this fine lady. x

David - Yes. Glad to have you back! The parking structure, and Rod’s profile, is permanently etched in my entorhinal cortex. I confess… I wikipedia’d that to sound smart.
Love this new image. Hats always make my head itch.

Chloe Murdoch - Hi Hugh! Glad you are back Safe!
Can’t wait to see more and to hear of your trip! :)
Hope to see you and Sara soon!

Airport blog! I type this from somewhere between Gate 63 and Jody Maroni’s Sausage Kingdom while waiting for my flight to board. I’ll be in Europe until 3/23, but in the meantime, please direct all inquiries through the connect form on this blog or to connect@hughforte.com and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks for checking in. Au revoir, amigos.
parkingstructureThis image doesn’t have a whole lot to do with Europe, but blogging without a picture is bad form.

aaron + pernel

Aaron and Pernel are top drawer. They throw caution to the wind. The weather reports cried rain, but these two made the trip from San Diego to Orange County last weekend to shoot the shoot, none the less. The rain broke that afternoon and the subsequent lighting was phenomenal. It was actually part of a phenomena that I like to call, the just-after-the-rain-breaks-kind-of-light. I had a blast getting to know these two and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t giddy-pumped (what?) for the wedding in May.

Chasen Armour - Wow! You are taking some really amazing images. I really enjoy your portraiture style. Jealous you have a TS. keep up the good work.

Michelle Moore - Awesome work!! Wow, seriously impressed :)

Hugh - Thanks Miah! Funny you should ask… gears are cranking, engines are chugging, hampsters are spinning their wheels. All of which means the website is starting to take shape. My design tools are a bit unconventional :)

Launch date is tentatively set for the middle of May.

Jeremiah Klein - There are so many solid images in your blog…website coming sooner than later maybe?
