I had a very interesting model shoot last week. One set was of my model dressed in a nice sequined dress wielding an axe against a wooden crib with baby dolls inside. Once the crib was destroyed the model went at the baby doll on the ground. Here is one particularly good capture.

My friend, Stacy, got this great camera inspired ring for her birthday. Here she is 'modeling' it for me. While she is a fabulous photographer in her own right, she seemed to be a little less happy about being on the other side of the camera. There were many images of her flipping me off or blocking my view with her hands that night.

My close friend, Stacy, had a surprise birthday party. Her husband baked her a cake shaped like a giant muffin. Sticking out of the top of the cake was a barbie doll in what looked like a tube top made out of fondant. There were 15 inch sparklers on either side.

July found me down at Point State Park where I witnessed the bathroom building near the fountain covered in a profusion of molting mayflies. Their wings were the most lovely iridescent color that I could not reproduce without direct sunlight, which was sadly lacking. Missing for 105 years, the mayflies returned to Pittsburgh in the summer of 2001 and are just one more indicator of the transition from industry that the city continues to make every day.

While shooting a model against the red doors of the Stephen Foster Memorial in front of the Cathedral of Learning, I pointed the camera up to get this shot of about 100 years of academia in Oakland.
