P52.3 - Perspectives {Week 3: Whimsical}

For our third installment of P52.3: Perspectives, the participants of Who We Become went in search of whimsy. After a week of world events that will leave the lightest heart feeling heavy, our theme feels out of touch. However, we hope that our collection of whimsical images will add a dash of light to darkened spirits. 

My images are a little out of character, but when someone asks you to come take a picture of the "magic dust" floating in his curtain light, you go take a picture of the magic dust. May it be sprinkled far and wide.

P52.2: Framed {Week 21}

Solitary Man

On the Fire Escape

It's our last week on perspective and having had a gorgeous weekend here in New York, I think I finally have a little of my own. Seems as though this winter has secretly been getting me down and it felt wonderful to be outside in the sun with my camera. And, much like my attitude, our theme this week was looking up. Shooting from below is a great way to get an interesting perspective on the ordinary, or focus on the things that often go right over our heads, literally. 

Below are a few of my non-kid favorites (see Friday's post if you missed out on the boy in rain boots). Then, please do head on over to Who We Become to see the full collection.

P52.2: Framed {Week 16}

This week at p52.2 we continue to focus on perspective and lens choice for telling our stories. Wide angle lenses are not always a photographer's choice for portraits, because of the distortion they lend to the frame. However, there are always exceptions to this rule and sometimes the wide angle perspective is just what you need to highlight a feature or matters of scale.

I always have fun using the wide angle on my kiddo because he already has pretty big eyes and a super-wide shot gives him almost a cartoonish look that cracks me up.

But I ended up going to the archives this week as well - a ton of vacation photos from last summer sit ignored on my computer but I knew I had used my wide angle lens to try and capture my son under the canopy of the giant redwood trees in Northern California. This shot seemed to fit the bill perfectly.
