School has drained us...

School has drained both Treasure and I... our date last night was to be in the same room.. studying for stuff this upcoming week! I haven't taken many decent photos as of late, the winter + school has left me with no inspiration..

here is to spring!

(P.S. Her sister has seen my work, and wants to talk to me about doing some photos of her son! w00t!)

She's a beautiful young lady.

Thanks both of you!

I love the expression as well and the way her face is framed in her hands.

she let you take a picture of her in a hoodie, in the middle of a study session? AND she gave you a nice, warm, natural expression? Mad props to both you AND the model!

this looks like a good thing you two have going on. G'luck with school. Here's to spring!

Thanks guys.. yeah, she has become pretty immune to the flash and giant lens, which I am happy about. And I laughed for 5 straight minutes at the smiley face. Funniest smiley I have ever seen!

I agree with everyone here, Treasure looks really nice on your photo, her expression is very sweet.

Congrats on your great shot, it's with results like this that I started to realize photography, for me, is all about the people, back when I started in 2003 (I guess).

Thanks so much for sharing!
And keep up the good work!
Cheers!

Sorry school is so draining. Ah.... how I remember!

But at least you're taking a little time to take wonderful shots of your sweetie! Great capture of a pretty girl!

Thiago, I may be coming to that realization as well... I love capturing the expressions the people have whether it be of happiness, anger, or even shock.

photogmomma, Yes.. multivariable calculus seems to ruin the rest of my day, no matter how much fun I think it is. We are very ready for spring break (this next week actually).

Here is one more from last night. I was doing a shoot for her sister's child (which, unfortunately I cannot show just yet if at all) and I get some inspiration to pull out the nifty fifty and do some really shallow DOF "From the hip shots". We were sitting in the kitchen talking and I shot this from table level, was suprised by the results.

Smile facey and let there be light

Nice work Ted. There's a great image in there.

Looks good, Ted.

Out of courtesy, I'd ask before doing that. Some folks tend to get peeved.

Ted Szukalski

My bad.

John I hope you don't mind me post processing your image but the girl was screaming out for light.

No, no I do not mind. I don't fully agree with the changes, however. Though I see and understand the reason for them. Thanks for taking the time to modify it, though. The original is very dark now that I look at it some more...
