Lauren, in Front of the Hedge
Last year was all about meeting new folks on Flickr.
Year before that, too.
But this year I've had my head down a bit in that area, worked a lot with folks I already knew, found models in different spots. No Flickr meet-ups, no gathering of the Polaroid immortals.
So it was a familiar warm feeling when I got to meet Lauren. Talking photography, the internet, photography people on the internet, us on the internet. Talking to someone who operates in the same world as you do, immensely satisfying.
Doesn't hurt that she's wicked smart, knows far more about photography than I do.
I do so like learning about photography. And meeting good photographers. And meeting cool people. And looking at pretty faces.
So I guess I like Lauren, too.

Alie, in Her Backyard
This was totally Alie’s idea. I was all ready to go back into her apartment, shoot some back-lit shots on the balcony, but she looked around, trying to figure out some more ways to shoot her yard.
And maybe it’s because I keep my shoots fairly loose, or maybe it’s because I rarely have a very strong idea about what I want to shoot until I’m in the moment, but I tend not to mind when someone has their own ideas they want to try out during a shoot.
Actually, it’s probably because some of my current favorites are the result of the model coming up with something they want to try. If it works, work it.
heh, oh man, that’s a 12 step program thing (I spent a lot of time from the ages of 8-12 in twelve-step meetings, had family going so I was the kid in the back, playing with toys, only partially understanding what was going on), and I only just wrote it out for the first time. It sounds so 80s. Probably because it is. WORK IT. oh man, it’s too early.
So. Alie’s idea. And damned if I don’t love the hell out of this shot. Good idea, Alie!
p.s. anybody else get a “Bruce Banner right as he’s about to turn into the Hulk” vibe? I mean that in the best possible way, of course.
