One of Isabelle’s signature features are her cheeks. Her arms and legs are rail thin, but her fabulous cheeks have stuck around. I hope she never loses them.

Light Painting – First Attempt :: Nightscape :: Day 147

light painting of the number 147

Tonight I watched this commercial and felt inspired to try something new. I had never attempted light painting prior to an hour or so ago and I have to admit that it was really fun, even if the result was totally ridiculous. As I continue along with this Project 365, the most valuable lesson I...

Dance Yrself Clean :: Langley, BC :: Portrait :: Day 145

project-365-fall-seven-20100525

This image took more attempts than I thought it would. It’s pretty hard timing a self portrait like this, especially when you already have a specific shot in mind. I ended up moving my camera, which was in the middle of the road, over and over to let cars pass. People driving by stared and...

Ridge :: Cloverdale, BC :: Portrait :: Day 143

project-365-fall-seven-20100523-2

I drive by this ridge on 60th Ave in Cloverdale all the time and today I set my mind to using it in a photo. It was midday and very bright so I had to crank my light up to full power in an attempt to overpower the sun as best I could. I’m curious...

Oscar The Grouch :: Portrait :: Day 139

project-365-fall-seven-20100519-1

Not sure what was bugging Ben today but he was milking it for all that it was worth, particularly at bath time. This is his feeling sorry for himself look, he must have picked it up from me. The second photo is the beginning of a smile and me calling his bluff. The bath night...

Sepia Toned Girl… To The Rescue :: Portrait :: Day 138

sepia toned headshot of a young girl

I tried to take Ben’s photo and he wouldn’t have it. Next was Owen but he was so tired from his long weekend of camping that he cried when I asked. That left Isabelle, who always says yes. Maybe I will just use her for the rest of this Project 365! Strobist: Alien Bees 800...

High Output Beauty Dish :: Portrait :: Day 137

project-365-fall-seven-20100517

Testing out a new light modifier I got for my birthday. This photo was taken with a high output beauty dish. You can pick one up here if you are interested. I’m not quite sure what’s up with Isabelle and her hipster pose, it has been a common theme the last 3 images. I didn’t...
