Aubrey Reclining - Notes About Exposure

We get asked about technical things from time to time, particularly about exposure. 'How do you get those soft tones in your photos?' Well, it's all about the light of course, but it's also about properly exposing in the light that you have. This particular image, although pretty, is technically flawed. The highlight on Aubrey's hip, and to a certain extent on her blouse, is far 'too hot'. Once th...

Remembering last summer, when the air was warm and the birds were chirping. It was also a good year for water lilies.

Something a little different...

So we are thinking that it might be fun to offer something a little different. We have a pretty large archive of roll film work from over the years, both 35 mm and 120. A lot of it is fun imagery to view, but not really 'fine art' or up to our standards in various ways. And yet, it seems a shame to let it all languish in a storage box forever. So with that said, we are going to occasionally share ...

Leggings

A film photograph of an athletic woman wearing knitted leggings. This happens to be the same friend that was featured in yesterday's post, Streamside in the Catskills. My recollection is that this was a winter day in 2004, in the bedroom of the house we call the Little House, prior to a remodeling which created a very different scene. We still have that Matelasse bedspread which was a gift to u...

Streamside in the Catskills

A rather poor scan of a rather nice photograph of an old friend. Captured on film in 2004. This was a 30th birthday shoot, and her first nude photographic experience. The Catskills are not super dramatic in terms of the landscape, but there is much natural beauty, and many crystal clear streams, to be found there. It is a lovely place to live and work artistically. . 

Kelsey at the Ruins

Hot off the press. Kelsey Dylan reclines among the ruins of a not-so-ancient civilization. A rainy day in Florida, 2018. Maybe we will feature more images from this day in minisets this weekend.
