this is rachel- but don’t be fooled… [oldham county senior photographer]

12.28.11

she is an aspiring engineer and serious volleyball player- not a high fashion super model. and i love that about her.

this post was challenging for me due to the fact there are so many great images from this meeting. less is more but i can’t help myself.

this senior session turned into something much greater than i could have imagined. rachel, you have an awesome mother, father and a sister whom i look forward to meeting! donna, it has been great to work with you and i can’t wait to eat humus and sip red wine again soon!

i have a lot of bloggin’ to do. more coming soon……

revised- personal project- “every picture tells a story”

12.19.11

since i took the last photograph of my grandfather two years ago, i realized i needed to recognize the ones i call the greatest generation. here is kenny and ineda. they have been married for over 50 years. i looked through their wedding album. it was awesome to see them in the beginning, and now. he takes care of her and she keeps him on his toes. when i asked what the secret to a good marriage is, he said, “doing whatever she says.”

what do they do in their retired time? cruises. around 50 of them so far. do you think they will adopt me as a grand-daughter? i am planning on asking when i see them again.

for this project i am looking for people 75 and older. if you have parents, grand-parents, dear friends or neighbors who have a story to tell, please let me know. this is a personal project, therefor it is free.

the following were taken with neopan 400 and my eos3.

their wedding album

in the good ole days

these were taken with my 5d and processed in PS with addy lane’s black and white actions.

he was a sailor.

in love….. with film

12.13.11

ok i wasn’t going to do two posts in one day, but i cannot help myself and my PTBFF told me to. these are of this couple but taken with some kodak porta 400, manual focus at f/2 with a canon 50mm 1.4. whatever your opinion on how much better, or worse, the images are…… i don’t care much. i love these because they were taken with much care and attention. i decided i was going to pop some more off at the end of the session- FOR ME! cannot imagine what these would look like if i had sent them to richard photo lab in CA.

and another important thing- it takes love to make people do this! you guys are the coolest!

converted this one to black and white in PS just because i can.

locust grove and some kodak porta

i have been messing around with film for several years now. it has been my way of “shooting for me,” a creative thing photographers must do to stay sane. i think i have ADD and i have found that film suits me well. it calms me down and puts my mind in visualization mode, a very important skill in the craft of photography. plus the fact i can shoot, have the film developed and scanned with little or no photoshop involved. a BIG deal for me. there seems to be a lot of photographers leaving digital these days. i haven’t jumped on that band wagon as of yet, mostly due to the fact that it’s a popular thing to do, but it sure is tempting. they both have their place and i cannot say which place i want to be 100%. maybe both? who knows.

here are a few taken at locust grove. it’s simply beautiful there, and i felt it best to use film to capture the history, color and peacefulness that exists on an early morning in late summer here in louisville, kentucky.
