Face on Glass

Here are a couple kiddos with similar ideas.


"I have found face on glass to be a decent distraction from this boring adult mess."


"This is pretty good, but it could be so much better with a glass plate. sigh..."

Feets

Sarah, married on Saturday to her longtime beau Erik, wanted to make sure we documented her bridesmaids footwear. I knew it would make a compelling shot, because photos without heads have such mystery to them. You just cant help but wonder what the heads are up to. I would bet a good number of photo students go through a headless photo phase, after they first stumble on this interesting trick of composition. (I did)


Bonus points if you know what famous Denver landmark provided the green stone background.

Shaina + Ben in Estes Park

Here are a couple shots of Shaina and Ben, to make up for the evil shot posted earlier. You can see, this was a very warm and happy day, despite the weather.












The little ring bearer had certain objections to the bow-tie. I have to agree, who ever invented the bow-tie anyway?

Ted Talks: David Griffin, On Photography

Griffin's talk starts with a series of images I have seen a quadrillion times, but they are still very powerful. This is a great way to understand the photographic lineage that inspires my work. In addition, Griffin goes onto describe why photography is powerful, which is worthwhile.

The Dreaded Chapel on the Rock



Mwahahahaahhaha!

okay, evil may not the best theme for a wedding photo --my apology to Shaina and Ben, who will wed at the Chapel tomorrow. Hopefully this weather system that is causing the dreary sky will move on. For now, I was able to grab some great shots of the chapel during their rehearsal tonight. Dont worry, the rest are not this dreary, I just got carried away in photoshop with this particular shot.
