Film Friday - Ranunculus
I've always loved the tightly packed petals of ranunculus,and the soft colors it comes in.
In film time it's like I shot these just yesterday, but in real life it's certainly been a few months, as ranunculus are no longer in season.
Somehow they just fit with the film aesthetic - soft and graceful. I love the way film goes out of focus, the 'bokeh' if you will. It's not the lens, because lenses look different than they do on my digital bodies. Softer in general, but specifically in the out of focus areas.
Happy Friday! I hope you're off for a long and relaxing weekend, doing nothing of more substance than frolicking out somewhere were it's beautiful.

A Recent Real Estate Shoot
There's something I find very zen about photographing interiors as opposed to, say, kittens. Kittens are all about catching the split second when they look at the camera in the most adorable way; you have to be fast. It's all about reflexes, capturing the moment as it happens, the high point in an arc of action, that one millisecond when it all comes together to show the essence of the drama being played out. Kitten drama, yes, but what's more dramatic than that?
In contrast, while of course there is still time pressure, photographing buildings is kind of zen. Here are a few photos from a recent shoot.
