woke up today

and fall was in the air.
you know it, that first intake of breath that awakens your faculties because it feels a little
like a shock.
it was delicious..
and it made me revisit last fall.
a trip to colorado.
a stockpile of fuel.

makes me get ready for creative "stocking up". for the trying out of new ideas, ready to become art.

oh oh fall. you're the restart of me.

a friday morning

an hour out, and feeling revitalized.

URGENT: NEED HELP

I'm submitting my work to a show, and I need to pick a piece. Please give suggestions:

from unmadeup (and if there is another one from that series that you think is better please tell me. You can access those by heading to the proofing site. unmadeup is the showcase gallery)


from some recent client work:


one of the large formats i really love:


just funky fun.

from some digital client work in january:



I'm really leaning towards either the one from unmadeup OR the last one, of the girl in the dress.

wednesdays: lotion

Once upon a time there was a little boy who had CRAZY dry skin who HATED to get lotioned up after bathtime. hated.

One day, papa left the lotion down. mama walked in and found said boy in the middle of the photographed action.... and so... she photographed instead of freaked. happy memory marker.

geeky deets: hp5+, pushed one stop, on canon ae-1

inspiration

When I ask to photograph someone, it is because I love the way they look.....
What I’m saying is, I want to take you home with me and look at you for the rest of my life.

Read this gem this morning on the good report. Couldn't think of any better way to describe the MATTER project I've been working on. I think I need to get back into the studio and do some more of that.

The Takahashis

This image pretty much sums up this session. Arm-pumping fun.


What do you get when you mix a GORGEOUS mama and a asian (best genes ever!) papa? BEAUTIFUL GIRLS. This sessions marks a new point for me. I did some natural light of these clients. I'm very pleased with the image of the dad. VERY. So much that this is the 2nd time its graced the blog.
