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 Forty Five

by on Nov.30, 2009, under project 365

Still nature. So still that you could hear the flowers dry as you stare at them. I had fun with it. I realize that there are so many things I want to shoot and if I have more ideas I need to take the one that I cannot do on a different day. Such as this one. I couldn’t shoot it tonight and post it some other day whenever I ran out of ideas. Nor could I have waited for these flowers to dry even more. Actually umm… I could have. Just like with the pumpkin on day fourteen. More to come.
