Under The Bridge :: Portrait :: Day 30

Isabelle and I went for a bike ride in the rain this morning and we both had some laughs. We took a cover underneath a little bridge, I plunked her down on a rock in the mud, and fired off a few shots. The black and white photo is my favorite.

Driving My Car To Get A Movie And A Snack :: Portrait :: Day 29

Ben got this amazing little car for Christmas and going to pick up a movie has never been more enjoyable for him. The big kids fight over who pushes him and who gets to put the movie in the car’s little trunk. Good times, really.

Shirt & Tie :: Self Portrait :: Day 22

I love wearing a shirt and tie, just not to work. These photos were an attempt at using a very shallow depth of field with studio lights. Not really easy for a self portrait. I picked up a wireless remote for my Nikon D2xs off of eBay for $20 (with shipping) and it’s made self...

Burns Bog :: Fine Art :: Day 21

On lunch break I headed down to Burns Bog for some exploring. I came across this old cement foundation from some building long gone. The cool thing about the place was how you had these walls, most of the them with graffiti, in the middle of a forest. So bizarre. I intentionally split each image...

Toe Nail Polish :: Portrait :: Day 17

Isabelle has a fascination with all things fashion… it’s cute and scary at the same time. She has been a real pleasure to have around this week and as a reward she got to have her toe nails painted. What color did she choose? “Green with Envy” of course. Strobist: Nikon SB-800 with 28 inch...
