.... I LOVE this photo!! it came out just as I wanted and that always makes me happy. I needed it as pretty much everything I've been trying lately has left me feeling like, meh. so yes, I'm very pleased with this one. :)
I've used green apples before as props but I'm sure I was inspired by in formation
and PEARLS when creating this. like, if those two images got married and had a baby it would be this one~ ;)

god, I'm glad it's almost friday...

happy valentines day!! and look, I did a big fanciful photo to go with. ;)
I was so happy when I found this bow & arrow set at the costume shop the other day. I've been looking for the right one for like, a year now! the arrows are crappy plastic with suction cups but the bow is awesome! anyway, figured I'd work it into this image. I made the arrow out of bamboo, cardboard and feathers.

anywho, I hope everyone is having a lovely evening

I tried something with my vintage phone a couple of weeks ago but it were shite so I scraped it. then I tried it again here and I still think it's shite but I'm posting it anyway since I've tried it twice and only have this to show for it. I did learn something tho. I learned that I want a model for this shot. ;)

black & whites from magnuson park

2012-02-05T22:25:00.000-08:00

went to Magnuson Park yesterday to snap some selfies and also to check out the new wetlands areas they're working on out there. through a side discussion with my friend I ended up taking some wonderful black & whites of the area and I wanted to share them here....

I also shot some film images that day so as soon as the roll if spent I'll post them here too~

it was a gorgeous day and magnuson park was calling. got to check out more of the new wetland environment they're building and it is going to be spectacular when it fills in a bit.
couldn't help but lay on this hill and try to mimic the windswept bend in the tall grass there.

I went over to Camp Long to get some photos with the climbing rock yesterday. my plan was to get some shots looking up at the top with me looking down but when I got there I found I left my remote at home somewhere so I had to settle for the 10 second timer. I'm always thankful for the 10 but I hate getting used to it all over again. anyway, I spotted this little niche and stuffed myself in there for a few shots before it started sprinkling.

time to put the wash in the dryer. maybe when it stops raining a long walk with the dog for the clean air. happy sunday~

I really wanted to edit this as a clone photo. I thought it would like really interesting to see three veiled figures but no matter what I tried it just looked... not right. so I edited just my favorite shot instead. I still like it and I'll probably try it with clones again some other time.

so it snowed and I got a snow day so I figured I could at least work on a selfie today. I wanted to do something simple and classical. like a painting. I like it but I sorta feel like it's missing something and I'm not sure what it is. oh well, now for cinnamon toast.

things the snow brings:
that soft cruch sound when you walk on it.
the sound of kids ging woo! as they sled down the hill.
lots of hot cocoa.
the tips of your toes getting all super cold.
watching your dog make tracks in the snow.
snow days and naps and logs on the fire~

Via Flickr:
so I finally did an Ophelia. yes, I know everyone does them but I figured I'd try one too. what the hell. took a tip from the wonderful Marina Refur and lined my tub with black cloth for this. there is no way I'm getting into the lake this time of year! I'm pretty satisfied with this photo, but not completely so I'll probably attempt something like this again at some point.

coming out of the 365 has proven to be a difficult adjustment for me. I sort of feel crushed by all the freedom and like I sure as hell better come up with something brilliant and amazing soon or I'll fall off the face of the earth. doesn't help that it's freezing and dark and snowing outside either. >:-|

happy tuesday eve~

HI!

it's been wonderful taking a break from selfies but I knew when this weeknd rolled around I was gonna want to get out and try some stuff. then it snowed and I decided to stay inside and try some other things I'd been thinking about. brrrrrrr~
I don't even know how this one happened but it makes me giggle so there ya have it.

hope to post something really super awesome soon...

happy weekend~

oh, hey any advice anyone can give me on creating a proper website is much appreciated. one of my goals this year. thanks! :)

holy crap I finally freaking finished this thing!!

man, what a year it's been. so many crazy ups and downs and throughout it all a photograph a day to document it all. sure, there were a few times I posted something late or from a different day but I gave myself a few outs when I started this so I wouldn't give up the challenge. all in all I'm very pleased with myself. :)

a little stroll...
first day, so hopeful.
heres one I always liked...
this is the photo I met the amazing Anna Gay over. I adore this woman and without her art I never would have tried my own. xo~
this photo took me 45 takes.
the day I got my 50mm lens and a Holga BC135. joy~
another I really liked. thought it would make a good book cover someday.
zoo day!! god, I remember summer....
funny little one I just like...
visiting my roots.
on this day I met and worked with the incredible Brooke Shaden. she taught me how make ladies fly and how to use photoshop. never did that before. thanks Brooke!!
I made a book yo!
lots of shots of this guy...
one of my faves. and my birthday too~
my obsession with "the old dress".
lots of fun photo shoots with models...
when the test shot works best...
love this one too...
comtemplation of this last year. so much has happened for me personally as well as photography wise too. I've had an article and interview published, self published a book, become a getty images artist as well as made money of my art through society6. when I think back on all I've accomplished this year it amazes me. I only hope 2012 will bring twice as much fun and the chance for me to become an artist full time.
thank you so, so much to everyone who has ever looked at one of my photos. thank you to all my friends and supporters for helping me along this past year. this challenge was very hard for me towards the end and I'm so thankful to have you all who look and and comment on my images. we've gotten to know each other and become friends over this past year and I hope we'll continue that.
I will be taking a much deserved vacation from flickr for the next couple of weeks. I'll still be around, looking at all your streams, in fact I'm hoping to be a better flickr friend now that my 365 is complete. so I'll be around just taking a short break from shooting until I am utterly compelled to crete insted of forced to every night.
to those of you thinking of starting a 365, go for it! just make it something you know you can stick with for a whole year. your 365 can be anyway you design it. :)

crikey, I've been working on this image for the last 4 hours. I've finished my 365 and it's New Years Eve! I'm going to have a glass of bubbly and toast myself. won't you join me?

Good Luck and fortune to you in the new year~

shots from Magnuson Park

2011-12-30T12:30:00.000-08:00

I wanted to share some shots from my trip to Magnuson Park yesterday and since my 365 project is coming to a close (yay!!!) I'm looking forward to my blog becoming more about all the fun extras that I like and want to post but don't want to clog my flickr stream with all at once.

Magnuson Park is an awesome park. it's big enough to get lost in but close enough to go every week if you wanted. it's got hills and grasslands, and bogs and sculptures and lake and trails and... just everything. :) I swore my love for the park and promised to come back more often.

here are a few more shots, hope you enjoy~

got to do some fashion photography today with lovely Maiah as the model and the talented Jamrlyn on hair and make-up. it was a blast, we went to the downtown library to play with the uber-modern backgrounds and even got told to please stop climbing on things. :) it was fun forming a team and making awesome photographs. more to come~

did anybody shop today, or are we all waiting for cyber monday?...

didn't do any of that black friday shopping thing like some others today. I went to visit Paul and then we checked out the giant goodwill down on dearborn street. they happened to be having a sale too and I got a vintage suitcase, a beaded top for the shoot I have tomorrow, a camelbak H2O bottle and a new dog toy for my sweet, sweet boy who is 3 years old today!! we are gonna have cake soon. well, I'm going to. Chai can have a bit of icecream. :)
anyways, then we checked out this little secret garden and found it glowing in autumn color. this purple pine caught my eye. so unusual.

fridays when you don't have to work are the best fridays. happy friday ya'll!

I was inspired by the gorgeous autumn trees that I passed on the way to work and I wished I could run up and tangle my hair in thier branches but, there is no more light left by the time I leave work now so I snapped a few shots of the maples around my office at lunch and...
this is my interpretation of that. :)

I think these will become a series. I'll call them "the girl in the garden".

I had the opportunity to meet in person as well as photograph a friend of mine yesterday and we got to use a wonderful barn and and farm as the setting.
this is my lovely friend Lee posing for me inside the greenhouse, which was her idea by the way. there are so many great shots we got but these ones in the greehouse are my favorite. shooting through the hazy windows gives it such a lovely vintage quality. I barley touched this in editing. thank you Lee for being such a great model!!
