Introducing Ted Rhodes

We photographed Ted Rhodes here in 511 a while back. Below are some examples. When looking back over this work, there is one visual aspect that keeps hitting me over the head. Can anyone tell how tall he is from this picture?

Table 4Sale. Serious Buyers Please.

Now that my daughter has started to move around the apt, my wife and I are feeling a bit crammed. So, I'm trying to sell some of our stuff on Craigslist to make room. One item, in particular, is a table that I bought at the same time I was photographing, "Garage Sale America."

I had a lot of options in photographing this object ranging from the amount of work to the amount of success. I could 1) bring the table to the studio, set up the lights, etc. Degree of difficulty: 10 of 10; degree of success ?. I could 2) bring the studio home and spend some time making sure it is photograph is an accurate representation of the table. Degree of difficulty: 8 of 10; degree of success ?. Camera phone composite with red number overlay. Degree of difficulty: 2 of 10; degree of success ?

Will let you all know how it goes.

Baby Starting to Crawl

FYI. This actually happened.

Baby with food stuck to face - This is a reenactment

My daughter has been learning how to eat over the past few months and, honestly, I'm surprised at how little she has learned. Really, as a Crary, I expected her to be a pro right out of the gate.

Anyway, she still gets food stuck to her face and doesn't seem to know how to take the next step. Get it in the mouth.

Disclaimer - This photograph is a reenactment of an actual event.

Very Busy, Very Busy, Very Busy

Photographers talk about this all the time. Things just pile up until management has time to get to it.

I am happy to report, I now have time to sort through the seemingly endless pile. Be on the lookout for some interesting posts.

Tuckerman's Ravine - It's worth the climb - Part II

While I have been busy showing off the images from Tuckerman's I had one 'peach of an image' that I wanted to share. And for those of you who will be seeing my portfolio in the near future, this image did not make the cut, even though, I desperately wanted it to.

Remember, the climbers have been drinking all day.

Tuckerman's Ravine - It's worth the climb

Fresh in from a Tuckerman's Ravine hike and shoot.

I always wondered why I never see good photographs of Tuckerman's. It is sooo steep, you would have to be crazy to take out your camera, let alone drag one up the face. As you can guess, I did it anyway.

Below is the postcard for the up and coming edit. Back to you tomorrow for the entire show.
