Day Fifty-Nine: Hit the Bricks, Frosty

It's nearly March and I am MORE than ready for the end of this long, cold Winter.  It's bright and sunny today, but still unseasonably cool and there's more of Frosty's kind in the forecst for the week ahead.  Enough. 

Short post again today.  I am working on my upcoming fashion shoot this coming Saturday.  Big production (including a videographer documenting the shoot).  Going to be fun.  Til tomorrow....

Day Fifty-Eight: Teething Biscuit

We bought Isaac (5 months) some teething biscuits this week.  He LOVES them.  He likes to grab things and put them in his mouth anyway, and he's teething, so these biscuits are great.  Of course, they make an unholy mess, but he is loving them and he's very cute (and surprisingly coordinated) with them.  I had planned on trying to set up something to take pictures of him this afternoon, but when I got home he was gumming a biscuit and I just grabbed the camera and shot this. 

I like it becuase it's real...it's who he is today and remembering things like this are a part of what this project is about.  It's a snapshot...but he's cute enough (I think) for a snapshot to stand as today's post.

Day Fifty-Seven: The Fabulous Dr. Freud

"A man should not strive to eliminate his complexes but to get into accord with them: they are legitimately what directs his conduct in the world."  Sigmund Freud.

Don't really know what I can add to that.  See you tomorrow.

Day Fifty-Six: My Flower Child

No, the lawn jockeys from the other day did not get me nostalgic for the 60's.  This is the costume Molly wore to school today for 60's Day. We had a lot of fun finding all the pieces for the costume and everyone at school agreed Molly had the best 60s costume of all.  When she got home we went out to the studio and set up the flower background.  It's pretty sheer, so we lit it from behind which gives a nice glow around Molly that I think adds to the feel of the image. 

We did a few with a super wide angle lens as well (those glasses cried out for a distorted upclose perspective and we got a few good ones):

Day Fifty-Five: Tia

I am getting this in just under the gun of midnight tonight.  This is Tia, who is going to be my model for the upcoming Uvo bag shoot. I really am geting this in just under the deadline so that's it.  But look for more of Tia (and the Uvo bag) in the weeks ahead.

Day Fifty-Four: Gone Fishin and Other Yard Art(?)

Off and about a few new neighborhoods today as part of my ongoing Suburban project.  Caught a few today, including the one above, that I wanted for this post. 

And then there's yard art(?) you don't see every day...or nearly anyday these days:

And one to remind us that Spring is nearly here:

Nice colors today, because tomorrow is going to be cold and rainy (and may have flurries).  Though I have an evening engagement that may turn up a shot for the day.  Otherwise, it will be a studio night.  Tune in tomorrow to see.

Day Fifty Three: Love is....sharing an umbrella

It was a rainy and miserable day here today and I barely had time to shoot at all.  I came across this couple sharing and umbrella in a parking lot while I was running out to get a quick lunch to bring back to work and eat at my desk.  And the afternoon and evening were full with other responsibilities so I was counting on this image to work for the 365 and, happily, it did. 

I like the atmosphere here which I feel captured both the look and feel of the day and the arm in arm closeness of this couple who clearly share more than just an umbrella when it rains. 

That's it for today...still have a bunch to get done.  Til tomorrow....
