Why are flowers beautiful? What is it that attracts everyone to them, from insects and animals and birds, to the hearts of people? Why are they beautiful?

Day Seventy Four

by on Dec.29, 2009, under project 365

Beautiful beautiful flowers. I did a self portrait today and after grabbing the setup shot, I made this. It came out amazing and there you have it. I vetoed the self portrait shot and stuck with this. No post-production whatsoever. Jump below for secret recipe and link to licensing this image. Most of the images you find on the site are available as fine art prints. Just drop me a line and I’ll see if I can pull a few strings to get you some.

Day Fifty Nine

by on Dec.14, 2009, under project 365

It’s so good to have a little model willing to pose for me. I wonder what the long term effect will be upon my kids. I do try to make it quick and simple for them, although it doesn’t work out all the time. As you can see from the setup shot, I had little time with my model today – not even a chance to grab a setup shot.
