Jeta’s Portraits

Enough still-lifes; it’s definitely time to put some more people here on my blog! Here are some shots from a quick portrait session with my friend Jeta, who has a beautiful smile. We laugh a lot when we are together!

Jeta gestures as she tells me a story:

Jeta is a great teacher, but I’m sure her students don’t know about her hidden modeling talent…

And of course, Jeta’s beautiful smile! Click to see the rest of the portraits:

Tasting the Rainbow

I *love* Skittles. I haven’t had any in years, and figured photography made a perfect excuse to pick some up!

A New Book

A friend of mine lent me this cool new book. I haven’t read it yet–of course not! I wanted to take a picture of it first!

(Click to see it on amazon.com!)

Color Theory

I thought it would be fun to brush up on some photography knowledge, so I’m taking a course this summer at the local college. We are working on color theory. Here are some of my samples for this assignment.

I think my favorite is this still life for the “blue & yellow” assignment.

For the “red & cyan” assignment, you can’t go wrong with Tiffany blue…

This one is supposed to be “green and magenta.” It’s more like “pink & yellow,” but I like the way it turned out.

New Headers

Hi everyone–I’ve installed new headers. If you can’t see them right away, you can just wait a little while, or clear your browser’s cache (ctrl+shift+del in firefox).

Love in Cincinnati

My dear friend Ray is one of my favorite people in the world because he is so loving. I was visiting him & his family on vacation, but I’m happy I caught some great moments.

But first–I have to include a shot of their super-cute cat! This cat welcomed me by curling up to me and sleeping on my bed the first night I was there. So sweet!

Ray hugs his son before sending him off to camp…

And my favorite, from a quick portrait session for Ray & his wife.

Check out their portraits–I took all of them in just one minute. They are very expressive!

Ohio!

So after a grueling, 12 hours and 4000 miles of flying, I finally got to Cincinnati! (Don’t ask me why I had to fly 4000 miles just to get from California to Ohio–blame our current airline situation for that!)

So far, we went to Findlay Market. Such a HUGE contrast in prices between here and S.F.! Look at the price for this big tray of fresh vegetables:

And I couldn’t resist taking a shot of this poultry store… has it really been around since 1880?
