Groundhog Day...

An almost Wordless Wednesday...

Happy Midweek...

Behind The Scenes... Birds Calling

Some of you have emailed and ask for more tutorials and behind the scenes on the shoots. I had never planned for such but from now on I will make sure to include a few tutorials and what not with each shoot. In the meantime... I leave you with a storyboard on the making of "Birds Calling"  

The sky and clouds were shot at a different time. I shoot many skies to later incorporate in my images. I later painstakingly painted the light on the clouds. The birds were also from a different time and place.  All these elements come together to create a one of a kind image.

Happy Weekend.

Painting By Numbers...

My favorite day of the week will always be Sunday. I woke up yesterday with the need to paint something and I wish I could pick up a brush and color all the colors of the rainbow and show you all these deep emotions with brushstrokes. 

Instead... I sculpt and paint with light. 

Marquis has stood in front of my camera a few times before and I love working with him because of his enthusiasm and love of art and fashion. 

A few things you must know about the making of this image...

The day was cloudy, drizzly and cold. 

We broke a few laws and trespassed.

I fell on my behind (again) in the woods and proceeded to laugh hysterically.

There are hundreds of images that we caught in our adventure.

We got caught by some man and his dog.

The man was missing a few of his front teeth.

The man took us deep into the woods which provided me with that spooky adrenaline rush think Blair Witch Project.

The man took us through a magical place that reminded us of Narnia.

I ended up hugging this man and making a new friend.

Happy New Monday...

An Unkindness...

As I was falling asleep last night I thought of a great way to start this post but now it is morning light and I can't remember what it was all about. I have scheduled many shoots with many models and work has been keeping me from sharing what once was my daily life. When the blog began words dominated each one of these pages. Thoughts and ideas were shared through words because I could not find the time and space to work on my photography. Now all of these images leave me silent.  I could tell you look at the following photography series and make your own mind as to what they mean to you but I must tell you what inspire me to make the headdress used for this shoot. 

I was blocked simply stating the muses had left my side. I have abandonment issues and if you are new to the blog the about page might give you clues as to why I have such issues. Angry with each one of my muses for leaving me in the dark I fell asleep... 

I fell asleep and I dreamed...

I dreamed of a flock of ravens. Later I found out the proper name to a flock of ravens is an unkindness. These birds were flying in unison until one of them broke from the flock. That one raven flapped its wings so quickly that each feather began to fall off its body leaving nothing but a the skeleton of such bird with nothing but a few feathers while it flew. I woke up right there and went to work. The muses had not abandoned me after all. They just decided like so many times past to speak to me through my dreams.
