theme: long exposure

“A snapshot steals life that it cannot return.

A long exposure creates a form that never existed.”

reflection

These photos were taken at lake Honningen and the model is the beautiful Charlotte. I wanted to give these photos a Monet-ish feeling. Dont know if I succeeded with that, but at least the first photo came third in "Østfoldsfotografens" category best color photo.

“Life can only be understood backwards;
          but it must be lived forwards.”

little angel

I had the divine pleaure of photographing this little six month old angel today.

Babies are angels that fly to the earth,

Their wings disappear at the time of their birth,

One look in their eye's and we're never the same,

Their part of us now and that part has a name,

That part is your heart and a bond that won't ever sever,

Babies are angels we love them forever.

playing with fire

Playing with fire is necessarily taught as something that is not good to do,

but when you do it right - its not that bad...  

 

 

 

 

 

my studio debut

The outdoor family photoshoot with the Byman Skaugs had to be altered due to heavy rainfall. Luckily we had the option of using Rakkestad Fotoklubbs photo studio. This led to my photo studio debut, and thanks to a dear photo colleague, the result turned out great. It of course helps to have a very photogenic family in front of the camera;) Here is a sample.

the cave

... the location is my own personal cave - my basement - and the

model is my dazzling cousin Sara, in case you were wondering...

“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”

dreamcatcher

Dreamcatcher, dreamcatcher
catch me a dream,

send it from the stars down on a moonbeam,

weave it like gold gossamer.

Fill it with images, heavenly, bright,

to keep me contented all through the night,

Let it be a heartwarmer.

                                                                                P. J. Oszmann

little king

I love to photograph animals, and dogs in particular.  This is my soon to be mother in laws loyal cavalier through many years - Trico - a Cavalier King Charles. Looking majestic in black and white.

I have recycled an old photograph of the statue of liberty - dedicating this post to the old lady standing alone in the middle of the hurricane.
