My beautiful friend Gabe needed an ID photo for her grad school and the specs were as strict as for government passports (I wonder what clearances these social work grad students get over at Smith)! So I took her photo with a natural expression, her face forward (less than 10 degrees in each direction) and with her face sized to 1 3/8" in the 2" square photo.
Then, we had some fun...
This is for the cover of her hip hop album titled "The Communicator."
This weekend I visited my friends in Brooklyn and one of my favorite parts was walking their dog in the city. Here's some pictures from a park just below the Brooklyn Bridge.
It's been a slow week, photographically speaking. But today I had a chat with my friend and audio engineer Shaun Laframboise, which started me thinking about the great drum group he leads, KDZ - The Kripalu Drummers. I shot the group and individual portraits for their recent album release, so I thought I'd post these photos which I took back in the fall.
I am selling photos at SoWa this summer—an open air art market in Boston's beautiful and artsy South End. One more date left: come visit on Sept 27.
