The first week comes to a close.
Posted by Tim Gruber | Filed under Uncategorized
On Friday I closed out my first week here at Roanoke by heading to the Natural History Museum in Martinsville. The week flew by and if it’s any indication of the rest of my summer it’ll be over before I blink. I had the day off on Saturday and did normal things. (grocery shopping, laundry, [...]

A few links.

A few links I’ve enjoyed this week:
Working with images and sound from Ben Shapiro on Transom:
Notice that when a shot hits, especially in a new setting, there is a beat before the voice starts. This gives the viewer a chance to register the image before having to pay attention to the voiceover. Again, like [...]

I started my summer internship at The Roanoke Times on Monday and couldn’t be more excited about things. The paper and photo staff is amazing. Their incredible talent is matched by their warm personalities, which has already made me feel like part of the family. I couldn’t ask for a better place to call home [...]

Posted by Tim Gruber | Filed under Uncategorized
Jenn and I spent the last portion of our road trip roaming Utah and the Arches National Park area. This was just one of the many highlights of the trip. There was so much beauty to behold that these pictures don’t do the experience justice. From the glow of the stars to the seductive sounds [...]

Here are a few frames from the book I laid out using blurb.com. It’s hard to believe you can have a hardcover 13×11″ book printed and delivered to your door for as little as 54 bucks. There’s nothing like calling your mom to say, “You want to buy a copy of my book?” Of course [...]

A sign of growth.
Posted by Tim Gruber | Filed under Uncategorized
I’m in the slow and tedious process of redesigning and updating my website. It’s scary to look at my old portfolio. It feels and looks dated even if it’s only 9 months old. In the same light it’s good to see that I’ve grown and hopefully that growth can continue. It’d be fun [...]

A picturesque scene.
Posted by Tim Gruber | Filed under Uncategorized
I spent yesterday photographing a great painter by the name of William Kortlander. The afternoon consisted of me trying to understand how Kortlander approaches the creative process. Along with watching other photographers work I’m fascinated with how artists in other medium’s approach the process of creation. As photographers we’re always told if you want to [...]
