Caturday - Orange is the New Black

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.

San Francisco Marina Engagement - Clarisa and David Sneak Peek

We met last week in the Marina for Clarisa and David's engagement session. Such fun! And they brought along little Nathaniel, who was incredibly well behaved desptie the San Francisco winds.

More photos of Clarisa, David, and uber cute little Nathaniel coming next week.

Film Friday - Strawberries

It's no great secret that I'm a rabid fan of fruit. If the average American is mostly corn and soy, I'm a lot more strawberry and peach. And of course, loving fruit extends to happily photographing it too, of course. How can you blame me for wanting to when it's so shiny and luscious?

I admit to being a tad fuzzy on the film used here. I think it's probably Portra 160 or 400, but it could be Fuji 160s as well. Either way, there's something about the color of the strawberries that's just different than digital. Sorry I can't offer you one, but I hope you enjoy the photos at the very least.
