Triptych - Hayden

Before I get into the shot, I have to give thanks to Flickr member, "theblackstar" for coming up with a great idea to shoot a portrait. I don't know if he actually came up with the idea, but he's the man when it comes to this unique art form. Just look at his photostream and I guarantee it will put a new creative twist to photography. Here's the link to his photostream - theblackstar.

This is shot #9 in my series. These shots will be a continuous of many monthly shots to showcase the changes in a child. I hope you enjoy. To see the timeline, check out my "Stages of a Child" set.

Hayden 11.5 months old.

Now back to the image above. Since the little guy has a birthday in a few weeks and is full blown walking, I thought this deserved a new concept to display his awesome feat. I wanted to do this triptych, but knew I couldn't get him to stand still for more than 2 seconds (he's a little explorer).

Well, the neighbor man was starting up his lawn mower across the street and this immediately got his attention. Stood there for a full 30 seconds! I quickly hunkered down on the ground and started firing off multiple shots as fast as I could. Thanks bud!

Grandfather 2

Last year, I decided to take my camera gear up to my grandpa's store to get his photograph for a memento for years to come. All the knowledge I gathered from then til now has grown substantially. So it was time to put it to good use, while strapping on a better quality lens.

I set-up this shot with the SB-700 and a Wescott 43" shoot through umbrella @ 1/13 power, camera left using Nikon's CLS.

If you didn't noticed my last photograph of him, here's the link. --->Grandfather 1.

Stranger 23 - Earp

September 3, 2011
I was out in the square again, bathing in the heat, just enjoy the sites. And of course, looking for new strangers to photograph.

I glanced over across the street at the local cafe shop and noticed this guy with his daughter sipping coffee and some pastries. I didn't want to be rude and interrupt someone's lunch, wandered around until the timing was right. Waited too long and the guy and the little girl vanished.

Maybe about an hour later, I heard a melody I recognized from around the corner and found this guy strumming his guitar on the street.

Everyone, please meet Earp.

As we started to chat, I asked him if he had any musical inspirations. He said that Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, and my favorite band, Metallica were some of his favorites to play.

Earp eventually would like to start up a band, but probably would like to do it somewhere other than Ohio. Told me Ohio sucks and would like to relocate somewhere with more artists.

When I asked him if I could photograph him for my project, he simply responded,

"Man, your like the third person who wants my photograph."

I chuckled, but he had no problem at all. Stood him in front of the cafe window and fired off about 10 frames.


Thanks Earp for being part of the project. Good luck with the music career and hope it brings you success.

This picture is #23 in my project of 100 Strangers.
