Portraits have a way of bringing out a persons personality in different ways. This is a fun shot because of Annie’s smile or maybe that’s a smirk. We were having fun and trying things to see what worked. A fun shot as she peeks at you.

Somewhere in Thoughts
Annie: Somewhere in Thoughts Have you ever found yourself holding a cup of coffee, or maybe reading a book, waiting for a friend who is late, quietly sitting in prayer or mediation, and found your mind has taken flight to another place and time? I have been caught in those state. I’ve also caught others in those state, just staring out the window. They are no longer present. Gone. Bye-bye. They are some place else. Yep, I must admit to all of the above. I do not always stay present to the moment. I’m learning to be more aware of those times of departure and gently come back to the present.

Kimberly
This is my friend, Kimberly, the lovely Kimberly. She caught my attention in a coffee shop, stopped me in my tracks. She was struggling with some things in life at the time, physical ailments and job loss. Life is much better now, things such as a special man in her life, she now has work, which is pretty important now a days. As time moves on so did we. Her new job took her to Washington and my new job brought me to Ohio. We keep in touch through phone calls, text messages and facebook. I was lucky enough to have a couple of photo sessions with her and this is from the first session.
Today is her birthday, not sure which one and wouldn’t tell ya if I knew. Probably get in way to much trouble if I did. Oh, and her favorite drink is a soy chai. I love you, Kimberly and Happy Birthday!

Another Me
Another Me Wow, Friday is already here, another week went zinging by. For my self-portrait I did a quick setup in my hotel room. We do things like this when we’re on the road with some idle time at the hotel. I prefocused and used my self timer. I used the hotel ironing board as my tripod, just about the right height when sitting in the desk chair. This is also the first image I’ve ever processed in sepia, it’s always been color or B/W. I get home at midnight tonight and then two days off. I almost hesitate to post a self-portrait on the same page as flowers and sunrises. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Self
Self-portrait Since I purchased the AF-S Nikon 35mm f1.8 G lens, it has become my travel lens while I work as a flight attendant.It’s small size and light weight make it easy to pack in my roller board . I no longer carry a camera bag but wrap my camera, with lens attached, in some clothing and fly the blue skies. And, in my opinion it takes some pretty sharp images. I do not carry a tripod so any images taken will be handheld, as in this self-portrait. The light for this image is from my hotel window just as the sun is going down.

Susan
Susan Susan is a college student and friend of a co-worker who would come into the coffee shop for her mocha, a little social time, and and work on her homework and usually in that order. One day, after a bit of pressure by me, she broke down and agreed to allow me to shoot some portraits with her. I think she is a beautiful young lady, both inside and out, and had a knack for posing naturally. It was fun. I’ve posted images of her previously and in this image I played around with Lightroom 2 using some of their presets.

Her Lips
Her Lips “As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs.”
