this is a candid taken at my local library of a massuse that was offering free massages for adults that signed up for the winter reading program...

"The Shy Cowboy"
This is my first volunteer for this project. His parents and I have been friends forever. This is cameron and hes such a sweetie! hes 9 months old and already full of personality! I know this isnt the "traditional" portrait but Ive been into photographing "Light" here lately and I really like how this one came out. Im not the traditional portrait photographer and never will be. Im really glad already that I took this project on. It gets me out there talking to people and making real connections with them. This was taken indoors with the light comming in a window. Enjoy

Well heres my portrait for this week. Its a bear at my local zoo. he had such a look of sadness (could just be sleepy too tho) that really struck at my heartstrings. Hes laying in a canvas hammock made just for him. I know these animals can be vicious but this little guy doesnt look like he could hurt a fly. This bear is almost strictly a veggi eatter. If I remember correctly from the "all about me" board he is a spotted bear.
Looks like my portraits this year are going to be emotional ones. either photos that give you an emotion or a capture of one. feel free to leave comments. Ive opened them up. have a great day!

Not a morning person

This is my 8you daughter sandra. she had just gotten out of bed to get ready for school when I asked her to stand still for a sec with my camera in her face...this is the look i got from her. shes usually my little model (and tells everyone that she is too) but shes really not a morning person. I did both a grunge treatment with a glow to really make her mood show.
week 1 down..so far so good..lol

This is just a test post. this is my first ever woody family portrait..I will try really hard to keep from using them again for this PAW...see ya in a few days when i can nail down a model to shoot.
