Some Portraits of Mer Imbri
Friday, January 28th, 2022
Sometimes when you are working with a very beautiful model it just seems right to make some simple portraits. That’s what I did when working with Mer Imbri. She is on instagram as @merimbri. I’m not on instagram, so I can’t link to it, but you can find her if you want on there. We […]
More With My Friend
Sunday, January 23rd, 2022
Here are a few more photos from my first, and next to last, shoot of 2020. Sometimes you just want to make a nice portrait of a friend. And sometimes you find a special prop that leads you to a different photo, especially when you happen to have a new close-up lens that you want […]
Who Knew What Was Ahead
Wednesday, January 19th, 2022
I only did two photo shoots in 2020. You know why. Both of them happened in January. Then the plague descended on us and the world stopped. I was fortunate to be able to start 2020 off with a shoot with a beautiful friend who has been modeling for me for many years. She’s not […]
More of Carrie and Peggy
Monday, January 10th, 2022
After wandering around in the woods for a while with Carrie and Peggy, we came upon a semi-abandoned building that offered some fine photo opportunities. Portraits were what this location seemed to call for. So we made a few portraits. These piles of wire were interesting. I think they made a nice background for the […]
Gotta Love The French
Friday, January 7th, 2022
I’ve just learned that I, once again, have a photo published in French PHOTO Magazine. This means I’m one of the winners in their annual contest, which they say is the largest photo contest in the world. I’m been one of the winners almost every year for something like 15 or 20 years. I’ve lost […]
In The Woods
Tuesday, January 4th, 2022
My last shoot of 2019 was a fun time wandering around a wooded area with Carrie and Peggy. It was a beautiful spot and these lovely ladies did a great job posing. As we wandered around we came across this wonderful old tree. Both ladies couldn’t resist posing with it. There’s more from this shoot […]
Behind the Scenes in the Wilderness
Monday, December 27th, 2021
As I’ve often said, I work with a number of models who are also great photographers. I always encourage them to bring their cameras and do their own photos while we are working. BlueRiverDream is one of those wonderful “modelographers.” I know some use that term as a derogatory, but I see no reason a […]
Man Plans; God Laughs
Monday, December 27th, 2021
Just a little personal update. I died last Thursday. Massive heart attack. Fatal arrhythmia that fortunately didn’t start until a few minutes after I got to the ER. They brought me back with paddles and CPR. So, it looks like I’ll be around a bit more, but posts may slow down as I deal with […]
The Water
Sunday, December 19th, 2021
It can take quite a bit of effort to hike up to mountain lakes. But their beauty makes it worth the struggle. Anne Brigman did it more that 100 years ago. So it was wonderful to go to those same mountains and hike up to the same mountain lakes that she went to for photographs […]
The Trees
Thursday, December 16th, 2021
If you study the work of Anne Brigman you will soon see that the trees in the wilderness above Lake Tahoe were very important to her. The trees up there really are quite beautiful and just demand to be photographed. And the trees are complemented by the lovely surroundings up there, like Donner Lake in […]
