from class

I recently took a five week photography course dedicated to developing a personal style. I don't know that I have exactly figured my own out, but I did like the direction that our assignments took me. I thought I would share with you the images that I chose to print for our final class. As you will see, I've chosen to examine my subjects as beautiful parts rather than seeing them in entirety or in the classic portrait style. These images are taken spontaneously, capturing the subjects as they are rather than forcing poses on them. The anonymous quality of the children allow you to put yourself in the image, remembering your own care-free childhood. Some of these images you may have seen, other were taken specifically for the class. I'm excited about having a focus for future photo shoots, some classmates suggested ways to add to the series. So, here goes.

feet and what i'm up to

I haven't been posting much lately because I've been working on multiples of the same few items and they have not yet been formally announced so I can't even show you. What I will say though is that I'm working with this new company on a line of textiles and they are going to be amazing. Please go check out Modern Playhouse, I think you will love what they make. All the products are made in an environmentally conscious way. This means organic fabrics, sustainably harvested wood and non toxic finishes. It's really something I care deeply about so I'm thrilled to be part of making it happen.
Instead I'll show a little pair of feet. Remember back when I was working on a series? I had some of those printed very large and framed for the girls as a birthday gift.  They have grown a bit and I think I'll continue to take images as they get bigger and bigger.

I'm not one of those people with a fear of feet. If you are, you might not find these as interesting as I do. Chasing after the girls feet today was fun, and inspired by the pile of socks and shoes that Em left on the bench.
