The Way Herb Sees It
Saturday, June 4th, 2011
Usually any photos you see here on my blog are taken by me. But Herb Ascherman has generously given me permission to make an exception and post some of his photos here. Above is one of Herb’s photos of Brooke taken in Herb’s studio with his 8×10 view camera. Take a look at that pose. […]
A Different Way To Photograph
Friday, June 3rd, 2011
When Brooke was here visiting I drove her up to Cleveland so she could work with a friend of mine, Herb Ascherman. Herb is a fine photographer with quite an international reputation. And he works in the classic manner, using black and white film in an 8×10 view camera and making his prints using the […]
The End of the Gorge
Monday, May 30th, 2011
Here are a couple more of Brooke in the gorge location. There are more from this shoot that I could post, but in my next post I plan to move on to something else that Brooke and I did while she was here. It is truly something completely different, so come back in a couple […]
More From The Gorge
Wednesday, May 25th, 2011
Here are a couple more photos of Brooke Lynne from our shoot near my childhood home. Brooke seems to be doing well over in the south of France where she is spending the summer modeling for painters. You can follow her adventures on her blog. I’m starting to get a little caught up on stuff, […]
Light At The End of The Tunnel
Thursday, May 19th, 2011
One of the features of the place I took Brooketo shoot when she was here is an old railroad tunnel. It provides some interesting lighting opportunities. And it gave me a place to do another fisheye shot that doesn’t look all that “fishy.” It’s fun exploring the characteristics of a new lens and learning what […]
Off The Road At Last
Sunday, May 15th, 2011
I love to travel. But for the past two weeks it’s been pretty much constant travel and I’m really ready to stop and hang out at home for a bit. I’m taking a day off today, after finally getting back home to stay for a while last night. Tomorrow I’ll get to work trying to […]
We Interrupt This Blog…
Saturday, May 7th, 2011
…for a personal message. I’m in Florida on a family vacation for the magna cum laude graduation of my younger daughter from the University of Tampa. That’s her with her boyfriend in the photo above as she arrived at her seat following the processional. My other daughter, her husband and my grandson are also with […]
More on the rocks
Thursday, May 5th, 2011
After wandering through the old canal lock and stopping to smell the flowers Brooke and I came upon this lovely cliff face and stopped for a few more photos. Again, I had always known there were photos here to be taken, but the combination of this location with all its memories for me and my […]
Spring Flowers
Monday, May 2nd, 2011
The wild flowers were starting to bloom when Brooke and I were out taking photos near my childhood home. This patch of “Blue Bells” was particularly nice, so we decided to try to make some photos there. Wild flowers with nudes seldom work, but I think these came out ok. What I’m finding interesting is the […]
It’s A Lock…
Wednesday, April 27th, 2011
…An old canal lock, that is. A canal used to run through this old area near my childhood home. The remains of one of the locks is still there. Natural rocks can make a great background for figure photos, but man-made rocks can work as well. I spent most of the day yesterday editing just […]
