took my little rinky dink to the cape. forced myself again. forced myself to think of it as film with little room for post processing. my sister wives. bffs 4-eva. soul mates from anotha motha. i just really love them. and love their kids. and their mens. love em.
the last time i photographed evie and kai was in CA. i lost those photos. felt good to make new ones today, though. and man. what a good, good day. a summer day.
yep. no words, just a lot of love. xo isabel
short on words. been a strange summer. gear was stolen. as in camera gear. as in my dear sweet d7000 and my beautiful 35mm f/1.4 longer post coming.
hadn't taken a photo in approximately one week. picked up my "feels like a toy in my hands" d3000 today and popped on the 50mm f/1.4 and forced myself.
i saw this awesome lady (tara whitney) who i totally admire do this one time. well, she's done it a few times. the diptych thing. it makes me feel like i'm there. when i get to the end i always wish there was more. and what with my losing my gear and sort of going back to a basic camera for a bit, i've been forcing myself to think on some things i've been struggling with. maybe that's in the next post. but really, i didn't allow myself to edit these outside of adobe ACR, and what i did do was just sharpen and up the contrast a bit. editing won't change the composition of a photo, or the light, or the colors of that moment. trust the eye. we got to crane beach at 6:30PM (yep...that's us) and we played in the pink light and tide pools and sandy ripples. not much dinner was consumed and we got bit by a few greenheads, but the night was perfect. the boys had fun. they are sleeping snug in their crisp layer of beach skin.
i'm coming back... xo isabel
