And so many many more….

What a face!

Since I couldn’t show you a face for the iheartfaces contest last week, how about a face this week! I had the pleasure of shooting this young model last weekend. She is just a natural in front of the camera! And do you see the dimples? I have soooooooooo many amazing pictures of her.

i ♥ faces (except there’s no face here)

I’m normally not the contest-entering type, but I just ran across the iheartfaces website, and it seems like a cool idea and the weekly contest this week is all about hands, and I have a thing for taking pictures of hands, and the karma seemed right, so here I am. I may have posted this pictures before. There are sooooooo many technical things wrong with it, but it is still one of my all time favorites. I would tell you to go “vote” for me on the iheartfaces website, but that’s not really how the contest works. I don’t even think there’s a prize (or maybe there is, I wasn’t really paying attention). Anyway, here’s the pic. Taken in the days of film!

So Much Fun!

This trio was lots of fun, and they made me feel right at home by dressing in Maize and Blue! I got a workout, but in the end, we got GREAT pictures!

The Leica Yearbook

Each year I participate in a the Leica User Group’s annual Yearbook project. We each get two (and only two!) pages to show off our work. Here is what I submitted this year:

HNY! 2010! In 3-D!

DSR — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 17:38:50 +0000

I blogged last year about my tradition of sending handmade New Year’s cards. Well, I sent out this year’s cards earlier this week, most people on my list should have gotten them already, so now I’m sharing with you!

If you’ve somehow misplaced your 3-D glasses, I do have some leftover and will send a pair to anyone who leaves a comment asking for them (You can e-mail your address using the link above so that you don’t have to post your address in the comments). Like they say: “While supplies last”. And no…. the 3-D glasses you brought home from the Avatar movie won’t work!

Wishing everyone happiness and peace in the new year…. Happy 2010!

Only Six Months Old, but Soooooooooooo Sweet!

She just learned to sit up, so we shamelessly took advantage of her new skill, with only a teeny bit of paranoia that she might fall and clunk her head (she didn’t!). Isn’t she a sweetie?

Kinda Sorta One Year Old

DSR — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 01:42:01 +0000

So this is a kinda sorta one-year-old picture. I won’t say that she was this serene for our entire time shooting together, but we did have our moments

This Picture Makes Me Smile

It just does.

Snakes on a Blog! (More Photos from the Australia Workshop)

DSR — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 01:44:08 +0000

So one of our photo shoots was done with a carload of snakes on an Australian beach. Sounds pretty weird, but it was all in the spirit of helping us to practice the advanced lighting skills we were learning. It felt like old times to me since I spent two of my college years living in a house with six real (and wannabe) herpatologists and their many many snakes. Here are a few of the pictures….

And this last one of our incomparable instructor, the amazing JoeyL (Joey Lawrence). You can see some of his work at his website here: JoeyL’s Website . And when you are done ooh-ing and ah-ing, consider that he is right now all of 19 years old and he has already been shooting professionally for years. Seriously. And yeah…. He told us he was afraid of snakes. So maybe there is a lesson here in how confronting your fear leads to success.
