Inspiration

As an artist I’m always looking for things that inspire me and get me excited to pick up the camera.  I love looking at all kinds of art, from other photographers, to sculpture and paintings.   I recently came across Rodney Smiths work, and was absolutely floored!  L.O.V.E.D it!  His work is so classic and clean.  They’re just timeless in every sense of the word.  And it’s so HARD to do anything ‘timeless’.  We talked about how to make architecture timeless all the time when I was working for a firm.  How and what makes something timeless?  Does it need to still look fabulous in 50 or 1000 years from now before it’s ‘timeless.’  Or is it something else, that even something brand new can possess?  I personally am not big on tends.  Especially when it comes to my photography.  I still laugh when I see my parents wedding photos.  Now it could be the brown 70’s tux.  But I want my clients to look at their photos 50 years from now and feel like nothing has changed.  All they see is the love they have for each other and how much fun they had the day they got married.  Anyway I totally got off track.  I’m always on the look out for inspiration that’s ‘timeless’  in whatever that means.  And Rodney Smith totally nailed it on the head in my opinion.  

Inspiration is all around us, we just need to stop and smell the roses.  

 

Cheers fabulous people!

 

ps.  I totally LOVE hats.

Pineapple vodka

In celebration of Julie’s new studio she marinated pineapple in vodka for a week.   What does that taste like you ask?  Mostly vodka.  I had a bite of the pineapple and it was pretty much like taking a shot of vodka…dangerous to say the least.  

Julie knows how to throw a party!

Be sure to stop by her studio, it’s gorgeous!  2405 W 32nd in the Highlands.

A little holga

Amy and Doug such cool clients, really they’re friends.  We decided to get together a few nights ago, so I bought the Holga.  Doug wasn’t to thrilled to have another ‘engagenment session.’  But a few beers and everybody loves the camera!  

My turn next time guys, maybe after the honeymoon?  And hopefully Cody doesn’t come up with another excuse to disappear.

Some how I think the only reason it was THE GREAT BLIZZARD of 2009 is because it was the most snow we’ve seen all winter.  Snow for a day, not that big a deal.  It was rather fun to takes photos in the blowing snow though.
