he-man woman haters club

I think every all-American boy should been able to grow up having a tree house in the backyard.  I every all-American boys' father should be able to have a hammock underneath it.  Perfect.

I finished out a roll of film at Disa's bridal shoot recently, this was my favorite shot on the roll (or what was left).  The 800 speed film makes the image pretty grainy, but I just love the look and feel of this photo.

the clubhouse

One of the projects the wife and I have undertaken this summer is building this awesome clubhouse for the boys. Even the girl next door is jealous.

portrait :: ewan

So here's the full post of Ewan's portrait session I did right before the summer kicked off.  For these he really let loose and took to the dance floor and gave me some awesome photos.  To look at them are only half as fun as they were to actually capture.

So, here's a quick hint at Aidan's shoot.  We went out on the ball field at dusk to do some Joe McNally inspired one light portrait work.  We had a good time despite the heat out there and he always makes my work look so good.  He really gets into character and even though the mosquitoes were buzzing 'round our heads he sure made it look like the only thing on his mind is:  The Game.

To avoid the nagging voice inside my head that reminds me everyday that I take pictures of other people's kids via my job at the studio way more than I take pictures of my own kids, I finally got down and dirty with my camera equip and put Ewan in front of the camera.  And I'm so glad I did.  This is just a preview of what's to come.  I really want to present a full portfolio of his session and show everything all at once, but I figured a little teaser never hurt anyone.  So, here's an awesome shot from that session.  More to come...

convenience

The working title to a new series of photos I am working on is "convenience".  Obviously dubbed so because of the subject matter, the series really is a more personal project based on my favorite pop artist Edward Rusha and his iconic paintings of gas stations, as well as my ongoing love of things old and forgotten.  Most of the photos in the series are shot in the same way and in the same manor, low angle looking up letting the structure loom overhead.  I think the photos are more dramatic this way and I like stressing the low-fi architecture of structures that exist literally on every corner that become almost dismissive until we need lighter fluid, toilet paper, motor oil, or cotton swabs.  Then they become invaluable.  They are like debit cards and ATMs, what did we do ten years ago...write checks?!  Now that the local 7-Eleven is just down the road, how did we ever do without?
