I was trying to find some suitable poetry or verse to go along with this photo, but I haven’t had much success. (Vaguely searching google rarely yeilds anything good in that respect.) If you have any suggestions, then please leave a comment.

Digital Portrait Photography and Lighting
If you are interested in improving your portraiture skills and learning more about controled lighting, why not pick up the newly published book by Catherine Jamieson. I’m thrilled to have two of my photos (pictured below) included in the publication along with the work of many other members of Utata. The book is available through Amazon.
Special thanks to Kirsti Wakelin for being such a great model.

If we appreciate the children that we were, the spirit of the child within each of us can emerge.

Evening light
The magical stone lion who gives directions.
I haven’t been shooting much black and white film lately. It’s time to change this…
Sky painting
It’s good to leave each day behind,
like flowing water, free of sadness.
Yesterday is gone and its tale is told.
Today new seeds are growing.
~ Rumi
Blue flower
Oh Seattle, how I love you for all the brilliant photo opportunities you gave me while I was there for a DAY. I can’t wait to visit you again to see what else I find.

The eyes. The flowers. Oh my!
This portrait turned out a bit more yellow than I like because of a bit of tungsten light cross over but I’m very happy with Christopher’s pose and my composition of the shot. The two of us spent an hour working together in the studio, trading off as photographer and model. As always, Christopher is excellent in front of the camera and I really admire his willingness to do (almost) anything.
There is a HUGE difference in working in concentration with one person in front of the camera. I’ve really gotten away from doing portraits in this way over the past year, and I have to change this.

After farewell
This is one of the three shots on display in the Plastic* show at Mooncruise Gallery in Vancouver. The feet belong to my former boss, and I took the picture with my holga as we walked back to the office after my farewell lunch.
