Ali and Edward : spontaneous

A few weeks ago, we were on a walk, and I was thinking (out loud) about how I needed a few kids to be models for me, so that I could practice some different things with my camera. Immediately, two little hands shot in the air: "Me! Me! Me!" Ali's a natural in front of the camera, and Edward's only condition was that he got to keep his hat on. Humph.





I told them to play around. Here's what happened...






Haha!!

It's back...

It's a little early... but friends, the holidays are here :)

Share the Love #9

Right now, I'm in the beginning stages of a photography project that Marty and I are trying to put together. The concept is exciting, but the logistics are tough, especially for yours truly (a natural introvert)...

So when I ran across this video, I got really excited! Videography and photography are obviously really similiar (like first cousins or something); I once heard a photographer say that he watched old films in order to get photographic inspiration, and it was like a lightbulb went on in my head! Camera angles are (obviously) the same, whether you're dealing with a rolling scene or a still frame, and photographers can learn a ton from videographers. Plus, with the development of camera bodies like the 5D Mark II (which shoots HD video), the line between photography and videography is becoming even more blurred...

Anyways! This video is pretty sweet, from the viewpoint of both artist and music-lover (this song is one of my faves, and Hillsong's Brooke Fraser is incredible), so I thought I'd share : ) Enjoy!
