Amber & I find lots of other spots in the house to make images, and here are my favorites. The house is getting more & more comfortable for me -- it is more furnished, and I'm developing a bit of history living there. We still have a ways to go before I achieve the "environmental portrait" qualities I'm seeking, but we are getting there. |

The Dining Room: Just before Amber's visit, I get my new dining room table delivered. So, that became a natural choice for some pictures:

The Living Room: This big chair & a half wasn't here when Lydia visited. It's in the corner of the living room by the three large windows & it is comfy & cozy. It typically gets nice afternoon light, but on this day, it was somewhat overcast, so we helped out with a softbox. These are the best "environmental portraits" of this sitting. A couple of observations -- I think this might be the first time I've photographed the bottom of a model's feet, and I've still got to get around to setting up the display case that is beside the bookcase in the background. On the second picture -- see the little Rodin sculpture reproduction?

Bonus Picture: I get a lot of comments from people who actually read this text here. So, if you are reading this, you should know about this picture. It was made up in my office -- there's a little blank wall which is painted dark green, and I have a spotlight there that is going to be trained on a future art piece (whenever I get around to finding one). We had Amber in that spot light, and although I used to like extreme shadowy pictures, I guess I'm outgrowing it. Amber has a wonderful figure, but you can see that this light is not overly flattering. In addition, I think this picture is a bit cliché. So, for you aspiring photographers out there -- think about it!
