ice + snow

Maybe you remember yesterday’s post, where I mentioned shooting some concept photos to illustrate the theme “cold” because it wasn’t actually cold here during the time I needed to shoot the images for the assignment.

One of the themes I attempted was shooting images of ice machines.  And I have to say that getting an ice machine photo that included snowflakes was a lot stronger way to illustrate the theme than the crap I’d been working on. FYI.

…success in photography, portraits especially, is dependent on being able to grasp those supreme instants which pass within the ticking of a clock, never to be duplicated…

For me, a portrait is something from which you feel the person, their inner quality, what it is that makes them who they are.

tiny dreams

It was easy to tell that this little girl was longing for one of those stuffed animals – kids at the fair always want one of those carnival-game prizes. And I am pretty sure her adult stayed there until he’d won one for her.

Ha! Ha! Remember back in the day* when my photos were real documentary, just sort of in the vein of “nothing to see here – please move along,” and not at all conceptual or blurry or any of that stuff.
