Suck it in (or up)
Thursday, July 8th, 2010
OK…there’s Brooke on the north shore with her stomach sucked in to get this started. Sorry Brooke. Thanks for the comments Dave and Robert. And thanks for asking the original questions, Mo. Here’s the gist of what Mo said in her comment: Why do we frequently see the nude model with her tummy sucked in? It’s not […]
Sweatin’ With An Oldie
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010
Sorry for the lack of updates. It’s not my fault. I’m in Vermont visiting my mother-in-law. Her 95th birthday was yesterday. There is no air conditioning at her house, which is usually not an issue in Vermont. But this record heat wave the eastern part of the U.S. is experiencing is here now too. It’s […]
A Perfect Dilemma
Thursday, July 1st, 2010
Usually when I’m working outdoors and I find a good location I look around for a little bit and find the photo at that spot that works for me. I often shoot a few variations and sometimes back at the computer doing editing I’ll find that the one I like best is not the one […]
Just a snapshot
Tuesday, June 29th, 2010
This is the last photo I’m going to be posting from my first day of shooting with Brooke on the north shore of Lake Superior. I’m calling this one a snapshot because we were taking a quick look at this location and were not planning to shoot, so I didn’t bring my camera backpack with […]
A Friend Is Gone
Friday, June 25th, 2010
Yesterday I went to a memorial service for an old friend who was a very important person in my life. Bruce Humphrey was the photo editor at the Newark Advocate in Newark, Ohio, when he hired me, at age 16, to be an apprentice photographer. In recent years I would often joke with him that […]
Brooke up a Creek
Monday, June 21st, 2010
Lots going on right now, little of it involving photography. It’s mostly good, though. I just don’t have time to write much here. So here’s another photo from the north shore trip with Brooke. This is what happens when you walk up a creek from the shore. I highly recommend it.
Brooke on the Boulders
Thursday, June 17th, 2010
Here’s another of Brooke on the north shore. Beautiful rocks all over the place up there. Nice background for such a beautiful model. I’m still just on the first day of our shoot, so there will be lots more of these to come.
North Shore In Review
Monday, June 14th, 2010
I’m back home now and trying to get everything organized from the trip. I’ve been at the studio this afternoon unpacking. I also have just picked up a new 2T hard drive for backups. So I’ve hooked it up and started the first of several data transfers to give me an additional place to be […]
Farewell To The North Shore
Thursday, June 10th, 2010
I’ll be leaving the north shore early in the morning. Today was a good day of shooting, even though the sun kept us from starting until fairly late in the day. I’m not going to write much now because it is late, but I wanted to share the last of the photos now, since I […]
Brooke On The Rocks And A Bird In The Bush
Thursday, June 10th, 2010
The weather was good to us yesterday, i.e., cloudy pretty much all day, so we got a lot of work done. We spent some time out on the shore, as you can see above, and we went to Illgen Falls and also did a short drive back up the Gunflint Trail to take a hike […]
