Shot at the MOMA. I think I remember a glass partition or wall between me and the subject, which would explain the vertical line. Was too good of a moment to let slip by.

The iconic VE Day image rendered in mural format. Pretty amazing! Also, a street scene from what looks like 1945 Manhattan.

My Niece’s Daughter

I rarely do portrait work of any kind. I just find it easier to work with inanimate objects. Having said that I thought I would share a photo I took a few years back. I have always thought that I had really captured a moment in time with this image of my niece’s daughter.

Our daughter’s neighbor, Carol, has a very large and prodigious clematis vine.

My niece, Cassidy. Normally I would avoid doing portraits as it is so hard for me to get it close to ‘right’. This one, I thought, came close to what I was hoping for.

Before I post some of the images I took in Portland last week I thought I would share this one of our granddaughter. She is a great subject to shoot. Madeleine

Cassidy

Portraits are my weakest attribute. I not only avoid them, but I lack the interest in shooting portraits versus still life, etc. However, I really like this image of my niece’s daughter, Cassidy. I must have been lucky at this moment in time. This image is a favorite of mine.

Looking towards the Future.

This morning I attended the funeral of a childhood acquaintance. In an attempt to move my thoughts, from the sadness of that loss to the future, I thought I would post this photo of our granddaughter, Madeleine. Viewing life from the perspective of a child, looking forward with great promise, helps shift my thoughts from the past/present to the future.
