"My photographs of Alison, because of the nature of our relationship, are very much a father-daughter collaboration-Alison permitting me access to private moments of our life, which might, under different circumstances, be off-limits to a parent. "

this is a beautiful set of photos of a daughter taken by her father. definitely rethinking the photographs i'm taking of my family. most positively rethinking my use of flash. damn brah, that's some fly [in a subtle way] strobe usage.

comp time.

"mijita, your composition blows!" is what my favorite viejo commented on my last basketball post. he's totally right, especially about the photos in question in that post. i've been trying harder though. i promise. these definitely lack any storytelling action, but my they're a lot cleaner and make me happy. here's the [huge] photo set on my flickr with more examples of these attempts.

recurring

its no surprise to see a slip in my assignment box with the words "WEATHER FEATURE" when i walk in to start my shift, especially in the slow winter time. looking through some of my stuff though, it is a surprise to see the recurring presence of groups of three.
