Wish List

The other day my girlfriend, Emily, came to me with a rather unusual reques. She wanted help writing her Christmas wish list. Emily explained that her sister, Eileen, wasn't sure what sort of clothes to get Emily for Christmas because they don't see each other on a regular basis and Eileen had grown unfamiliar with Emily's fashion sense. I have the same problem with my brother.

Emily's sister, Eileen, suggested she take photos of herself in her most regular outfits and send them over. I think Eileen was expecting Emily to stand in front of a mirror with her camera phone, but once I heard about the assignment that just wasn't good enough for me. I certainly wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to take photos of my favorite model.

Im on a BIKE

I finally got over my shopper's remorse and bought a bike. I ride it almost every day so I don't know why I was so hesitant to buy it in the first place, maybe it's a northern thing.

Like any other photographer who buys a new toy, the first thing I had to do was take some photos of it. This is my favorite.

New Studio

I recently moved back to Lawrence and into a house with a shed that is big enough to use as a studio. It wasn't the reason we decided to live there, but when I realized I would have the space all to myself I was pretty excited. I swept out the dust and spider webs and this is what I got.

One benefit of having a studio in a garage, that I didn't anticipate, is having unexpected visitors from the wilderness. I don't know any bee keepers, so I can't claim to have planned this, but I tried to take advantage.
