This is the last in the series and you can see it doesn’t have that same laying down bubble-y look. The Delices by Cartier bottle is more in line with the new styling of fragrances which tends towards the opulent and colorful. (People actually make a habit of collecting these despite their smell.) I decided [...]
This bottle is a bit more commercial than the previous one. Coco Mademoiselle is a Chanel fragrance and the bottle was given to me by one AWESOME sister, Danielle Fus, who is a Chanel connoisseur of sorts (her shoe and sunglasses collection is unrivaled). It is billed as “feminine and sexy, young and exciting” but [...]
I have wanted to do this photo shoot since I was a senior in college. Have you ever noticed the way a perfume bottle looks when it is completely full? Well, the way it looks completely full when it’s laying down? and there are the little air bubbles that travel about? After the first spray, [...]
I know! I know! I didn’t need parental permission to publish this shot but sometimes 18+ people can be cute too :D Note: I also shot a picture of a cute kid at this same event. That one made the front page. LOL! Bowie residents Steven and Phyllis Glazer listen to the jazz sounds of [...]
Prince George’s County Public Schools opened for the new school year this past Monday and I was sent out to capture it at two local elementary schools: Melwood and Barack Obama. I wore my purple floaty skirt and…KIDDING! Photos: Raymond Bradshaw the III, 5, of Clinton, walks behind his father Raymond Bradshaw Jr., as he [...]
A couple weeks ago I went on a cruise to Bermuda – Royal Caribbean out of Baltimore. Who knew!?! Here are two panoramas from the trip. The first is of Front Street in Hamilton, Bermuda’s capital, and the second is the Centrum on our ship, the Enchantment of the Seas. –Is it still a “panorama” [...]
What are the cute kids of Prince George’s County up too these days? Learning to fish and playing at the park. This is deep. Erick Flores Jr., 2, of Hyattsville, fishes in the Patuxent River near Governor’s Bridge in Bowie, MD on July 31, 2010. Bowie 07/31/10 Emily Stewart, 6, of Laurel, watches as Jaiton [...]
I am not a HUGE fan of Nikon’s Creative Lighting System. It’s great for doing quick off-camera lighting wirelessly when I’m indoors at a market or art show type but for anything more advanced (i.e. the SB-800 is not in my hand) I go pocket wizard. I just like the added security of knowing that [...]
Two weeks ago I had an odd photo schedule. I had two shoots one in National Harbor of the Children’s Museum Launch Zone and then a second of a restaurant in Accokeek a few hours later. Calculating it out on my GPS though I would barely have time to breathe if I decided to take [...]
I had a shoot last week that pushed my environmental portrait envelope. The story was about a woman who was in essence trapped inside her home. She was blind and didn’t trust the local transportation system to pick her up at the prearranged time and place – she had been left over 10 times. At [...]
