Love

Love is in this photo twice. The subject and the picture. This is my daughter Sarabeth, who I think is a lovely young girl, beautiful, talented and fun. I love her very much.

I love this photo because of the colours, the crispness, the capture of a moment. This is the first picture I have had enlarged to an 8x10 since my own darkroom days. I love it that much.

Tools used: Taken with my Yashica FX-7 on Fuji Superia 400 film, scanned and then colour balanced and tweaked in Photoshop 7.

You

I sat one night here at my desk, taking pictures of myself. I took shots through glass vases, from a distance, super-close, over-exposed and under. I had all the lights on, and none.

I like that my final choice out of all those attempts to hide is the one that shows me the clearest. Lit only by my monitor glow, this is me.

Food

Movie theatres have the most tempting candy displays. I actually got up enough nerve to go and photograph this open display. I kinda hoped to get one of the staff's hands grabbing a bag but no such luck.

I bought a big bag of yummy swedish berries! mmmm.

New

One of my favourite new things is the new releases rack at my neighbourhood video store (DVD only, actually). Oddly enough I managed to not get the newest new releases in the shot.

Animal

As a human owned by two cats it's a no-brainer of what I'd use for my animal photo. This is the always lovely Unita, looking suitably bored. This photo is from the first film I shot after my Yashica went in to be fixed. (severe light leakage)

Tools Used: Shot with the Yashica FX-7 on Fuji Superia 400, scanned and then tweaked in Photoshop 7 to match the print.
