I watched these two little girls all dressed up standing next to one another. "Hannah Montana" on the right was talking, while our cowgirl was off in her own world. If you take a look at the image above, clearly "Hannah" got her attention. And the last image lets you know that the conversation went well. I love the progression of the images and the costumes are pretty cute too! What images did … [Read more...]
Some days are all about just doing the work. Whatever it takes to get things done, that's what has to happen. This whole week has been like that. "Git 'er done," as one of our wedding clients likes to say. Point being that the excitement and energy for anything other than the work becomes secondary. I can see and feel it in my photography. (No need to agree with me.) Intellectually, I know this … [Read more...]
It happened again. Another discovery. Another monumental moment. Another image captured. Did you know that if you balance them just right, you can hold five "poppers" at a time on your fingertips? Not unlike olives on your fingers at Thanksgiving. That's a well-known pastime at the dinner table, if you didn't know. But, this was new. This takes extra skill because the poppers don't fit … [Read more...]
It's been my lucky week (if you believe in luck) to venture into quite a few creative spaces of artists, filmmakers, musicians, writers, and designers in my role as Creative Director for Dare Dreamer Media. The offices we've visited seem less like offices and more like the caves I mentioned earlier. They are filled with remnants of projects completed and yet to be created. The owner of the … [Read more...]
When you're young, every day is filled with possibility. So much to learn, uncover, figure out and discover. Your mind is open, without expectation, ready for what the world has to offer. My son is like that. Open to new ideas. Making exciting discoveries. Venturing into creative worlds of play and pretend. I heard the words "Mommy, look at me!" I found my son playing in the water with a … [Read more...]
"The Future Needs a Big Kiss," is just one of the many hits U2 sang throughout the more than 2 hour concert last night. Three of the top 10 trending topics last night from midnight to 2 am EST were related to the U2 global universal webcast on YouTube. There was even a guest appearance from space! For the first time since webcast's of worldwide events have started, I actually had a clear image and … [Read more...]
Although I'm an introvert by nature, I've discovered that over the long haul, having company along for the ride can be more enjoyable. Whether it's a long roadtrip, cross country plane ride, or yearlong photography journey, going it alone can't compare to sharing the ride with others. When I started this challenge, I thought I might find a friend or two to join me. Never did I imagine that … [Read more...]
When we interviewed the artist/painter a couple days ago, she talked about her interest in finding the tension in situations and moments that she chooses to paint. Uncovering two opposing objects, ideas, or even people to tell a story. That tension brings life and richness to what we capture. So today's image is about the tension between an old tire in the middle of the road leaned up against a … [Read more...]
That's right. Behind the scenes for a music video we shot today...in the rain! You can't tell in this photo, but we were trudging around in the pouring rain, with a few moments of relief where it just drizzled. The price you pay for creating art! Got permission to show one behind the scenes image I shot while taking a break from filming. Hard to choose just one, but I loved her look in … [Read more...]
Fellow artist. Let me take you on a journey. Fellow sojourner. Follow me into the artist's cave and discover a truth that will resonate deep inside your creative soul. I don't know what you're dealing with today on the long journey into your soul and beyond. I can tell you that the view is breathtaking from inside the artist's cave. Let this image of the inside provide light and shelter … [Read more...]
