a lime slice - [a walk in the quiet]

i took a walk the other day in a nearby cemetary - it had just snowed and the sun was shining and it was so nice to hear nothing but the wind through the trees and the snow crunching below my feet. it was a walk in the quiet.

a lime slice - [heavy sigh]

everything melted, rained, unraveled, became, grew wings, attempted flight,
flopped, tried again, succeeded. just another day.

heavy sigh. i have this love affair going with some vintage cameras. i don't know why i just do. i have been searching ebay for a few that work. sure they make great props and it's always fun to experiment, but i want to get down and dirty with some film. i miss my high school days and my photography class - i can still remember the smell of the darkroom. when my father told me that he had thrown out my grandfathers equipment i almost stopped breathing. i often wonder if my grandfather (who sadly passed away when my dad was 15)and i would have enjoyed shooting together. i like to think that i caught the photog bug from him - that somewhere in the stars he sprinkled his photography dna down on me. it was a long time ago - but oh, what i wouldn't give to hold his cameras in my hands and to process my own film using his enlarger, deep down in the cold dark basement. days long ago. heavy sigh.

[urban love] esession.

such a pleasure to meet chris and jenn in boston on saturday for an uber fun photo session. we had a blast walking the streets of boston visiting the places that hold special markers in their hearts. their first kiss, their first date, memories of their courtship that blossomed into a beautiful love that will be officially sealed in miami at the end of april. we braved the chill in the air and set out on our adventure. when you spend the afternoon in boston shooting you are bound to have tons of images to choose from and i had plenty! [i couldn't decide so here's a warning....there are many images to follow.]
jenn and chris, i was so happy to meet you both finally, and i look forward to documenting your special day. i hope you like your cool urban shots!!
here's to dreams of the warm sunshine.
