The 365 project is going well.  It's a lot harder than I thought it would be, but it has its rewarding moments.

Betsy Anthony, PhD candidate, Clark Universtiy

I love taking portraits.They challenge me as a photographer, because I did more still lives and self-portraits in college. However the main reason I actually like taking portraits is because of all the amazing people I get to meet! Betsy was so much fun, and so interesting to talk to the portraits were natural, and the lighting was great! We couldn't have asked for a better day.   Her PhD dissertation is on the "Holocaust Survivors' Repatriation to Austria" which looks at why Holocaust survivors decided to return to Austria after the war. What motivates someone to live where they do?  What a great question to ask.  Needless to say, the portraits turned out really well, and I am very pleased with the results.

Ariana Strahl, Soprano

 









                          

Can I just say I love Vienna? The people you get to meet are all so talented and have so much going for them you can't but help get excited about their lives and projects. Ariana is an amazingly talented soprano, I had the honor of hearing her sing last fall.  She was so much fun to work with, that we got some beautiful images. We couldn't have asked for better weather for the photo shoot! For more information about her visit here.

One night I noticed this pattern on the wall. Self portrait of shadow.

The 365 project is going well.

A Photographer's Headshot

I made a new self-portrait.  I can't help but feel silly when I take portraits like this of myself.  But my About Page was looking pretty bland with out a photograph. I am looking forward to warmer weather when I will be able to do more work outside, involving other people in front of the camera.
