So the other day I got one of those really good ideas that only come to me once in a while. Why not take my girl on a date and do a photo shoot? So she got dolled up and we went downtown and I got some of my favorite shots that I've ever done of Hattie. It was an incredibly romantic date walking through bookstores and down Main St. and I'm glad we had the time together. I'm so drawn to Hattie's personality. These pictures show why.
A very nice picture of Sam. But I saw this framing technique at a friends house. I told her I could reproduce it and then thought wait how would you do that? Came out on the first try and I'm happy with the effect. I also pretty much always love desaturation. It's such a cool trick.
Another one from the short monsoon this year. We'll take what we can get. I like the hues in this b/w shot. The sky was so bright that it gives the photo great values in the b/w version.
