Off to Atlanta

Off to Atlanta

Heading out to Atlanta this morning to shoot the new Gwinnett Brave’s stadium.  Should be a great holiday weekend shoot.  They’ve got fireworks the night of the 4th and 5th so between those and a full crowd it should make for a nice view of America’s favorite pastime.  Heading to Bachelor Gulch Colorado immediatly after […]

Loews Lake Las Vegas: Living right

Loews Lake Las Vegas: Living right

As Sam Elliott said in the Big Lebowski, Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes, well, he eats you.  Well this morning was one of those moments when something like a cloudy sunrise just opens right up and drops this in your lap.  And for that I take back all of the nasty things I […]

and the day is finally coming to an end.  Had a great day of shooting and have lots to share.  I’ve got to get some sleep now as I’ve got another 4am shoot that will run all the way up until my late morning flight.  Hopefully I can post more from the airport.  Until then, […]


Loews Lake Las Vegas: A place of contrasts

Loews Lake Las Vegas: A place of contrasts

Getting settled at the Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort for my shoot this week.  I’ve got a great top floor room overlooking the lake.  One thing you notice in a places like Vegas, Phoenix, or any other desert destination is the disparity between the natural surroundings and those that have been created by man, or […]

Off to Las Vegas

Off to Las Vegas this week to shoot the Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort.  Should be nice to get a little dry heat now that Dallas has officially woken up and realized it’s summer and started to treat us with some nice humid heat.  Looking to be about 104 in Vegas this week.  Enjoy the […]

Updates: Where are they?

Sorry gang, I’ve been a bit slow on the updates, it’s a combo of in-town shoots, personal time, and bit of blog neglect. Good news is those of you following me on twitter get a little taste here and there in between blog post. Take a peek at my account at twitter.com/blakemarvin. There are lots […]


Virgin Islands: update

Virgin Islands: update

I’ve come to the conclusion that once you embrace the heat and humidity and the fact that every inch of your body is covered in sweat it’s actually quite liberating. Waiting at the Gallow’s Bay port for my ferry to depart for St Thomas.

Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh: Here comes the sun

Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh: Here comes the sun

Well Egypt, you had me wake up at 4am for the last 5 days and greeted me with cloudy mornings followed by cloudy days, but not today.  As my parting gift you gave me a morning full of abundant sun.  And for that I thank you.  It’s been a great week here in Egypt even […]


Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh: Dear Mosquitoes,

Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh: Dear Mosquitoes,

What have my poor bird legs ever done to you? Why oh why must you ravage my legs and feet when my arms are far meatier. Or you could just stop, that would be nice as well. Sincerely, The Photographer you Love to Bite

Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh: The Red Sea is…

not so red to be honest.  The Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh sits on the Sinai Pensula which gives it stunning blue waters with great coral reefs (something I had no idea of).  Today’s shoot went great.  Created some really nice images and met some very interesting people.  Tomorrow should be another amazing day of […]

St Regis Punta Mita: The Gallery

One of the hardest parts of traveling constantly is the lack of time you have to sit at a proper workstation and do good post production work. I love my MacBook Pro but there is no substitute for a giant monitor that is properly calibrated, a big ol Mac Pro, and a Wacom tablet. Well […]

VLA (Very Large Array): Preview

While heading out to White Sands last weekend we made a stop at the VLA in New Mexico. If you thought White Sands was amazing/strange looking, then wait till you see the VLA. The short history of the VLA is that back in the 70’s/80’s they built an array of 27 radio antenna’s setup in […]
