Fall Drapes

My second and potentially last fall shot. This was taken in the parking lot of my apartment complex. It was a little breezy, so I couldn't get the leaves as crisp as I wanted, but I think the effect still works.

Funny story. As I was taking this, this really sketchy guy came out from the playground that's on the other side of these leaves. I didn't even see him back there until he came forward because, you know, it's dark. He said, "I really don't like having pictures taken of me." And I'm thinking to msyelf, you clearly know nothing about cameras. After him mumbling something about whether or not I was doing a movie (???), I said, "I'm not taking pictures of you, I'm taking a picture of this," gesturing toward the pretty leaves. He finally figured it out and said, "Oh, well good luck then," and wandered back to the playground and proceeded to stare at me until I was done. Creepy, creepy time.

The view from my living room is lovely this time of year.

Kathleen found this cute little guy on the floor of the North Side Grill last time we got brunch there. He was too cute to leave around, and he was just begging for a close-up.

Kathleen's sister sent her a fancy Llama finger puppet during her recent trip to Peru. This fantastic note came with it. They have a special relationship.

It's been a while

With life being as crazy as it's ever been, it's been hard for Cammila and I to find time to do a shoot. Fortunately tonight we both ended up at the same social engagement: watching TV at my place. Photos were taken. Life was(is) good.

Publication!

Exciting news, everyone!

First off, it's been a busy week so I was not able to post a new shot on Wednesday. Many apologies.

However, recently I was solicited to publish one of my photos of Cammila in a free, online magazine called Talent Photo. It's largely a central/south American publication, but this photo was found through Flickr and apparently they wanted it in their glamor section. I gladly give them a copy, and the issue just came out today. I'm on page 16!

Please take a look, and look at past stuff as well. They're a pretty decent little publication. Lots of great material.

Karaoke

Saturday we celebrated Cammila's birth by singing karaoke all night long. I kicked some ass, by the way, but I also took some photos. Above are Cammila and David, my previously un-pictured roommate, and below is Charlie Slick, the people's synthesist, singing someone else's tunes for once.
