Importance of photos

This photo was taken in 1966. That's me, center with my mom..I love everything about this photo..the adirondack chair, the color of the aging photo paper, the scratches, my face, her face.. the watermelon in the faceless children's hands. In one small deteriorating photo I can sense summer and youth and family..

I recently found an untitled folder including 55 photos of Barbie and friends sets created by daughters Kelsey and Allie. Now 18 and 16 years old its fun to look back in time and remember vividly the hours they devoted to imagination..I am thankful I documented most of it..I love Ken's shirt, and the little girl in the background with the dog..some of it is eerily accurate..

Who is more curious?

It appears to be almost curious-dog-like with its head cocked to the side sensing something in its personal space zone. Huge fan of the dragonfly..

Pups in Prison

Assignment yesterday involved photographing inmates who train puppies for 6 weeks. Subsequently the pups are house trained, socialized and ready for adoption..

Sibling pups Scout and Nova (pictured below) displayed their unconditional love to the media, well, at least sleeping Nova did.

Lack of Color

This winter scene on York's Long Sands Beach taps into an immediate mood. The next shot I took I moved to the point where the waves were crashing over the road, to freeze the action.. this shot was better.

Color

the monotone of brown that February offers brought me to this photo.. I can't help but focus on the silhouette of the ant..

Studio Lighting

"Playing with light" defines what I do for a living, well, sort of.. ! Helps that my models were perfect in their manner and acting ability..
