Evolution

I created a Fine Art piece from one of Jen and Mark's wedding shots for them.  But it never felt done.
I looked at it on and off for quite some time, but I couldn't figure out why it didn't feel done.  It just felt bland. Then today it hit me (of course only a couple of hours before Jen was to come pick up all her prints!) - there was no depth.  It was all very pretty but somehow bland.  Add in some beautiful warmth, texture, stains and it comes alive.  I am in love with this piece now - in fact, it's going up as a display piece because I am so enamored with it! There is something to be said for not rushing the creative process. That is one of the tough things about working to deadlines is that pieces don't always hav a chance to evolve organically.  Today, I am glad for the evolution of this piece.

Dropped out of the blogosphere for a while...

...but I'm back! The Christmas season always kicks my butt a bit and I just realized how long it has been since I have connected on here. I have been doing lots of work and playing with some really cool new stuff - I just haven't been sharing. So I'm going to try and catch up over the next bit with some long over-due blogs.

I had a busy Christmas break and was fortunate enough to get a chance to work with Stefanie Rose-Airey; an incomparable singer who will be taking the world by storm. I was also fortunate enough to do some work for Chris Kerson (an immensely talented actor). There is no bigger compliment to me that an actor would come from New York to work with me for his headshots when there are SOOOOO many amazing photographers in the big apple. Thanks for all your support and know that it is returned one hundred fold. Here are a few shots from their respective sessions.

Break a leg with the upcoming role Chris!

Where does the time go?

So I'm obviously not used to this format yet. I've been working on lots of cool stuff, but I forget to share it! Some of what I've been playing with is Visual Journalling. Taking life's moments photographically and thorough journalling, and integrating them together in to an art piece. My daughter has been so instrumental in the process. I remember so little of what I liked and who I was at a young age, that I want to capture as much of that for her as I can. This is an amazing legacy that we can pass down to our children and beyond. To show them how much we care, cry, laugh and stress. It's the big and the small moments. Here are a few of the ones that I've been working on.

I love creating these moments for her and for me. She's so young and there's so much that I've forgotten already. This gives me a way to remember. Because it really does go fast.
