Custom Fine Art Children’s Portrait Photographer in Ann Arbor, Michigan
I know you are used to seeing portraits and more portraits here, but I was going through some older folders of photos and this one jumped out at me again. It was taken at the Michigan State Fair (oldest state fair in the country), in the breezeway between the dairy barn and the swine barn...
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: //
Here are just a few more from this past weekend. The first is just fun. I love the bright colors. The second is one that I really like, but typical me, can’t decide if I like better in color (those eyes!) or in black and white. //
I’ve written about the Heart Gallery before …. a collaboration of photographers and adoption agencies to help make adoption more of a reality for children across the United States. This is the fourth year I’ve participated and the 2009 online gallery has just been posted to coincide with the Grand Opening of the 2009 Michigan...
Several of you have asked to see some of the cards I sent in New Years Past. I would like to be able to tell you that I have a pristine collection of every card that I ever sent, cataloged, cross-referenced, and archivally stored. Not so. Not even close. In fact, I’m embarrassed to...
For the past 30 or so years (don’t remember exactly how long, and yes, I am old!) I have created and sent handmade new year’s cards in lieu of “holiday” cards. At first, the cards were photographic postcards, printed in my darkroom, with a new year’s message scribbled on the back. In the 80′s I...
First full day in Budapest. It’s a sprawling city of more than 1.5 million, so I have only scratched the surface. Lots of people out and about… even on Sunday… and there seems to be a very healthy and vibrant cafe lifestyle. More diversity than Prague. More beggars too. And hustlers. Lots of people have...
Day 6. Spent the entire day on the train from Prague to Budapest. What was supposed to be a 7 hour trip became a 9 hour trip– make your own jokes about Eastern Europe trains not running on time here– due to (depending on which story you believe) mechanical failure, a highway accident, or the...
Day 4. Trying to capture some of the must-see sites without making picture postcards. This is the statue of St. Wenceslas at the end of Wenceslas Square, just in front of the National Museum. Most of important Czech history happened on this spot, including the founding of the Czech Republik in 1918, the Soviet invasion...
Days remain full and jam-packed with activities. Met another wonderful Czech photographer named Marketa Luskacova. See her work at www.marketaluskacova.com . Despite the language barrier, I am becoming more comfortable approaching people to ask to photograph them. Most are surprisingly agreeable. Shooting a lot. More than 400 frames today. Who could have imagined doing this...
