Anna Gaskell

A different kind of fictional world can be observed in Anna Gaskell's work. Her series of photographic episodes (Wonder and Override) are based on a loose re-interpretation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Gaskell treats her medium as a kind of stage set onto which she projects her child-centered concerns and enigmatic dramatic action...Gaskell's work does not posses specific narrative but rests rather on a series of suggestive 'actions'. In fact her whole oeuvre is based on implication rather than description; it is this ambiguity hovering as it does between what is imagined and what one sees between reality and fiction that reinforces the sense of malaise and intrigue for the viewer.

René Magritte

How could it not have crossed my mind to post artwork by René Magritte?

night at ceder creek park

I took these pictures almost two years ago. My friend Rachel and I went to the park, not knowing we would end up laying on the floor taking creepy pictures of our legs and hands. I was wearing vintage red hush puppies, like the kind grandmas wear while walking to the grocery store. I totally miss those shoes.

This blog makes me want to take my camera with me wherever I go

I had an urge to take pictures in my backyard with the blue teapot and my crushed velvet orange chair. Nicole came to my rescue and helped me lug my big ugly piece of furniture outside. Thank you Nicole for coming over with bunny ears and not looking at me like I was crazy when I told you about my new idea.

special moments

I photographed a wedding this weekend. It was nerve racking.

I learned that wedding photographers aren't kidding when they say lots of things can go wrong. Batteries can die right before special moments (resulting in changing them in super sonic speed) Numerous adjustments need to be made every 30 seconds when taking formal portraits during sunset. Cameras can randomly break. (RIP my Olympus)

However I finally had a chance to browse through the photos on my computer. Some need a few tweaks but as a whole, I think I was successful. My flash worked well and I managed to take pictures of everyone and everything. Without showing the identity of the Bride and Groom, I'm posting some of my favorites.
