I’m actually liking this picture of me, the textures are so interesting. I love black and white, it hides a multitude of sins. LOL! This was one of the worst of the bunch, but once cropped and b&w now I don’t mind sharing.

I miss taking pictures lately. There’s something so freeing and wondrous about playing photographer and seeing if the pictures that you take can match the image and vision you have in your mind. My favorite shots to take have got to be people, I love faces and expressions. I’m not by any means a great photographer, but I love the way you can capture a mood or expression that so fully represents the way that person really is in that moment. At a future time in my life I will have a studio in my home, and I will devote more time and attention to learning more about my camera and light. I’m awed by some of the talented photographers that I know, Maggie is incredible - I’d love to be her pupil and just soak in whatever tid bits she could impart to me someday. I was lucky enough to be her assistant for the day when Katie and Conor were getting married. She took Katie all around the city a few days before the wedding and did a huge photo shoot of the gorgeous bride in all these incredible settings. I loved just watching the way Maggie set the scene and knew instinctively when to take the shot. She’s also the master at posing and positioning, I think she visualized the entire shoot before we ever got there and knew exactly which shots she wanted to grab. Um yes, I’m a fan.
