REAWAKENING TO LIFE

Attention, Attention. (Eastern Market, DC) - Cold dog on a cold morning, with radar ears at half-power. Canon 5D Mk2, Canon 50mm f/1.4.

Snow Storm. (Washington, DC) - Dave out in the snow, looking for a convenience-store source of butter and whipping cream for snow day cooking. Canon 5D Mk2, Canon 50mm f/1.4.

Shadow. (Washington, DC) - Found this block of wood walking home from the metro. Canon 5D Mk2, Leica 90mm f/2.

Snowed. (Washington, DC) - Wintry scene driving back from Virginia last night. Spooky and peaceful on the hill. Canon 5D Mk2, 24-70 f/2.8.

Un/seen (Washington, DC) - Part of me never wants to publish another color photograph ever again. Canon 5D Mk2, Canon 50mm 1.4.

Hope all is well out the ‘blogosphere.’ Lots of weekend traveling (NJ two weekends in a row!), covering a PSU Printmaking class, cycling, photo shows, and spending time with the One-and-Only… what can I say? Life is very, very good.

Desire (National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC) - Two ironically placed statues in a classical sculpture section of the museum. You can feel the tension in the air. Canon 5D Mk2, Canon 50mm f/1.4.

Firin’ One Up (State College, PA) - One of my favorite shots from this weekend’s wedding in State College. I was outside shooting the getaway car being vandalized, while the jolly men enjoyed cigars and whiskey on the other side of the divider. Caught this through the dividing wall. Canon 5D Mk2, Canon 24-70L f/2.8.

I Spy (Philadelphia, PA) - I love waiting for images to show themselves. This boy was running around the art museum at the Race for the Cure 2009 in Philly, and sometimes you just have to wait around for the right ingredients. Yellow coat, youthful enthusiasm for the mundane, and some bright light all went into this one. Canon 5D Mk2, Canon 50mm f/1.4.

NYC in SC (State College, PA) - Anyone want to guess where this is in State College? I have some grandiose (yet still unrealized) ideas for a shoot here, but it does seem a bit too skeevy for my taste right now. Maybe in a month or two. But I like the echoes of NYC here. Canon 5D Mk2, Leica 35mm f/2.

Construction View (State College, PA) - Image made with a Diana Camera with some Fuji NPS 160 in it. Real natural colors with a funky format. Hope you enjoy.
