Francis

Posted on April 13, 2010

You really can’t go wrong when your subject is a cute little toddler in a room where the light is magnificent!  My daughter was babysitting Francis so when I went to pick her up, I came in with my camera.  Known as “the golden hour” by photographers and anyone else who is infatuated and completely obsessed with light, I knew I couldn’t resist taking just a few shots.  Fifteen minutes was all it took to document some pretty sweet faces, even the one where she was not too thrilled about wearing a tutu and the headband!

Daisies and “The Golden Hour”

Posted on June 12, 2009

I know that daisies are a common flower, found scattered in practically every field from east to west.  I love them for their simplicity and for the way they bring back memories of childhood.  I love how they seem to last forever, even after they’ve been sitting in a vase for days.

As a photographer, I have become aware of light in ways that I never was before.  I am especially attracted to the light that shines during the golden hours of the day – around dawn and dusk.  The different seasons have their own special light, and believe it or not, I find late winter to have some of the most spectacular light.

The following images are certainly not from winter, but just from a few days ago.  And they are daisies, illuminated during the golden hours.

These are not daisies but I couldn’t resist!
