Some photographers seem to effortlessly produce the coolest self-portraits. I don’t feel that inclination – I like being a photographer, but I don’t like photographers. Today when I shot this self-portrait, I realized that this is the third one I’ve shot this year – in a mirror. I think it’s because I see an expression, [...]
When I first started photography seriously, the easiest subjects to capture were my sisters. Plus them being twins made their portraits instant novelties that always garnered more attention during critiques. They are patient; my favorite memory though is when I was photographing one of them. She was sick, and after a roll or two of [...]
Earlier in the week I wanted to shoot something today that would be a thematic shot for the 4th of July. I decided to drive over to Shiloh National Military Park, the site of one of the bloodiest Civil War battles. I woke up “early” this morning (early for me since I’m not a morning [...]
Happy, happy Saturday! Yes, after not getting enough sleep all week, I was so blissfully happy when I woke up this morning, thought “This is Saturday” and went promptly back to sleep. What amazes me about doing this blog and taking a picture a day is the intersection of different facets of the week and [...]
A few minutes outside today, and I decided I needed to add some more “faces” and shot a few of the workers.
I’ve finished my Outdoor Dinner Party Series. This series of photographs is loosely based upon George MacDonald’s Phantastes and various works by C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. (Plus any other pieces of literature that I’ve read that subconsciously fuses into my photography, such as Novalis and Shelley.) I’ve posted the whole series to my online [...]
I’m *this* close to completing my Outdoor Dinner Party series; I should have it completed this week. I love it when I’m able to use items/objects in my photos that have a meaning, albeit a personal one. The dress in this image is one that my great-grandmother, Meme, made my mother around 30 years ago. [...]
I decided to take the plunge last night and hope for the best. After reading all the horror stories and wrenching tales of Aperture 3 woes, I couldn’t wait for a more stable release and ordered the upgrade earlier this week. The software was delivered yesterday, and before I went to bed last night, I [...]
I’ve been working an Outdoor Dinner Party photo series and have been trying to enrich the concept with references from literature. Since the premise is loosely based on George MacDonald’s Phantastes, I wanted to include some references to C.S. Lewis (who was deeply influenced by MacDonald) and Tolkien (who was one of Lewis’ close friends). [...]
My delivery arrived this afternoon, and I was so excited to unpack the plants for my terrarium which I blogged about here. I didn’t have time to research which plants were best for a terrarium and which ones fit my taste, so I was thrilled to discover a nursery that selected 10 plants based on [...]
