ShootStyle workshop in Ogunquit, Maine
On Sunday, I packed my bags, left the kids with daddy-o, and drove up to Ogunquit, Maine, for a workshop put on by the lovely folks at ShootStyle. After Michelle Turner went through a wonderful set of posing techniques, we...
Film work: powerful sky
It's a big, big world. We can only understand so much of it.
Film work: around the house
Sometimes I don't have the time to get out of the house. I make photographs anyway.
Film work: parking lot markers
After the big snow awhile back, I started to notice how all the salt and melting made the parking lots around campus look quite different.
Artist's Way: My Inspiration Jar
Awhile back, I started an inspiration jar, made from an old mason jar whose lid I lost somewhere. I hated to let the jar go to waste, or even be recycled, since a jar can be such a useful thing, even without its lid.
Clap that bell
This bell rings whenever services take place on campus at Holy Cross Orthodox Seminary. I laid down underneath the bell and shot upwards in the snow.
A birdhouse where it shouldn't be
I wonder what the bird thinks of this real estate. Too much traffic, I'd say.
Lonely net in landscape
There's no one playing on the fields today.
A shed in the snow
I love the color on this shed; it stood out so wonderfully in the pure white landscape.
The orb in the sky
Wonder what it is? Good, I'm not telling.
Digital and analog: medium & mindset
Revisiting this medium has been refreshing for me. I hope to glean more lessons from it and bring them into my digital work. I also know that the many things I've learned with my digital camera will feed into what I decide to do with my film. Each medium feeds another, and this is true for film, digital, drawing, painting, sewing, cooking... any creative venture, really.
The habit of creativity
Being in the practice of analyzing my environment with a photograph in mind is vital. It's the photographer's equivalent to an athlete's stretching session: warm and tone your creative muscles, and you'll get better results when the pressure is on.
Celebratory beverages
What better way to ring in the new year than with sparkling red beverages that warm your heart & tingle your fingers? I'm a particular fan of sangria. May 2010 bring everyone many blessings....
Light that jumps and jitters
During the holidays there are so many lighting opportunities that provide me with time to play.
A book in the snow...
I'm not sure exactly how this poor book became neglected such that it was discarded in a giant snow pile. Regardless, it made for great photographic subject matter. I tossed it around in the snow with abandon.
One fence, four ways
It's amazing what a little tweaking in post-processing can do. Each person has their own photographic vision for a particular image that can go beyond the simple composition and capture with the camera.
Christmas Street in Hampden
Very festive lighting at Christmas Street in Hampden.
Creative Discipline: Moon
Putting the moon in context makes for a better photo than a straight shot of the moon. That is, unless you have a telescope.
Creative Discipline: Stars
When the sky itself doesn't give you stars to photograph, you can find them elsewhere.
Holiday Lights, Holiday Schedule
A happy holiday to you all!
