Waiting for Kenji

They only come to our site once or twice a month. The wait is well worth it, even standing in the freezing cold.

GLC in B&W

And of course, I had to convert some of Gay LeClerc’s portraits to black and white. Because, you know, I love B&W.

This second one is my favorite shot of the whole batch.

Before the snow came

“Smile, Baby!”

For Alain and Emilio. Happy now?*

* Sometimes a portrait is trying to be more than a grinning face, and being told that my self-portraits would be ‘better’ if I smiled, feels a lot like the experience women have when they walk down the street and have strange men tell them to “smile.” Why do they feel they have the right to do that? My body. My self. My smile.

Going with the grain

From my little selfie session the other night. In Lightroom I softened the clarity a bit, added a medium grain, and subtle sepia. I like the end result, and lean towards the vignetted version (#1) but kind of like it without, as well. What do you think? (Poll below images)

At Customer Pick-Up

We went to the furniture store today to look for a television stand and a small end table. Luckily we found what we wanted and both items were in stock and small enough to fit in my car. While we were waiting at the loading dock I snapped this photo of Sweetie.
