The other day I was very pleased when this photo was blogged on Utata, with the accompaning text beautifully written by Brittney Bush. Please go check it out.

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.
*smooch*
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.

Fortuitous film finds
I’m so glad that I found three expired rolls of 120 Ektachrome 100SW film to take with me on my trip. I’ve had such good results shooting it with my holga and cross processing the film. This shot was taken in Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania. As one friend has described, I “descended into some fantastic neptune’s world to capture this.”
The human element
I rarely do this type of shot where I use a person as a compositional element rather than as the focal point of the photo. I think taking more shots like this is just the thing I need to inject new life into my portraiture. Too often I compose my portraits the exact same way and want to change this.
