i’ve watched folks like vincent laforet use the tilt/shift lens in the past and have been amazed at the miniature look that are produced, so i rented a lens from calumet photo here in cambridge and did some work with it yesterday.  it’s really pretty amazing the look it gives to images, and although you can’t do this everytime, it certainly makes for a different take on things every once in a while.  such tiny people!

the NYTIMES has a great multimedia piece on what can be found at the “last stop” of each of the subway lines in NYC.

on TV tonight …

unless you have been under a stone you know the olympics are going on in china, and there are a million images out there.  newsweek magazine has a great group of three photographers covering it, and they’ve created a blog that showcases this work.  you really need to check the work of these three photogs, vincent laforet, donald miralle and mike powell …. some amazing work.

i shot a wedding this past week end in rockport, ma.  what a beautiful day.  i met eliza and justin last year at the wedding of their friends rose and jonathan.  both couples are exactly the kind of people i want to shoot for … loving, kind, considerate of others and they appreciate my style of photography.  what a great way to spend the day.

but it didn't kill the moments.

tonight is marina’s last night before she heads back to brazil so we had our typical dinner we’ve been having for the last ten plus years … marina’s special chicken, annie’s mac n’ cheese, and mom’s special carrots.  here are a few photos of marina i took the other night as we were dropping off the vespa with eric from metropolis scooters for some work.

what a great, amazing, smart, fun, beautiful kid she really is … we’re going to miss her.

Love Dad

spent an afternoon with marina - she worked as my assistant at the plum shoot - and we hung around the south end for susan to come and join us for dinner.  she’s grown so much … an amazing young lady.
