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 […]
On The Gunflint Trail
Wednesday, June 9th, 2010
Yesterday Brooke and I drove north up the Gunflint Trail looking for places to shoot. We found a bunch of them. This is one example of the kind of locations we found to photograph. It is beautiful country up here. As I said in the last post, rain moved in after lunch and ended our […]
North Shore Weather Report
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
Brooke and I are exploring the north shore of Lake Superior and doing some photos. This is a beautiful place, though not quite as wild as I had imagined it would be. But there are still plenty of places to get away from the signs of civilization, which are really not all that intrusive on […]
Field Work
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
On Saturday Ken, who knows his way around the restored natural areas of Chicago, took Natalya and me out to a wetland where we could do some shooting. I think Natalya had a good time. And we got some fine photos. Then we cleaned up and made our way to the gallery for the second […]
Starved Rock
Friday, June 4th, 2010
I had today set aside to work with Claudine. She is a great model and a great person. I try to get together with her whenever I’m in Chicago. We’ve shot several times, including last weekend, of course. Today we looked at several options and decided to head down to Starved Rock State Park. This […]
