photo of the day: the bunneh

Argh. I know. I've missed two days in a row. Sorry, people.

Last summer, just for fun, I wrote a story with pictures. This is one of the outtakes from that shoot; I love the gesture she's making, and I love the hoppy bunny (who has since departed this moral coil).

This is an excellent example of the joys of shooting RAW: there is no way I could get this exposure with JPG.

A friend wanted to practice shooting, so I set up a shoot with one of my favorite models. For about an hour we wandered around practicing posing, working with light, and generally having a great time. I loved the vibe of this shot. The rest of the shoot is here.

And when I do, this is the result.

when I want to relax, I take pictures

I've had this photoshoot in my head for a while, and finally last Saturday we drove to Ocean City to take the shots. The concept was vintage coats with stilettos, very vintage glam hair, and red lips, against a background of the abandoned beaches. Well, we got to the beach and it was pouring and the wind was gusting up to 55 mph. So the girls didn't want to do it, but we hadn't just spent 2 hours pincurling Jo's hair just to give up. You can see her hair deteriorate as the shoot progresses, and maybe I should call this "the ruined shoot." But I absolutely adore these pictures and hope you enjoy them, too.
