Last night was one of those times when a nanny like Julie Andrews would have come in handy. While I was out scoping tonight’s shoot location I was stung by Sir Granddaddy of all hornets. I am still in pain, and I usually don’t have a problem with stinging bugs. I USUALLY prefer bees and hornets to black flies. Not this one. Phew it was a stinker and boy does it smart.

Speaking of clouds I am still kind of in one (more like a fog) so I am guessing I will tend to ramble today, but I will make a bit of an effort to keep things relevant to the world of fine art photography.

So many things are bubbling through my brain that I would love to share. It has been an exhausting and exiting few days. But I will contain myself and stick with one thing at a time. Setting up this shot was such an incredible experience! Bringing my own world to life was surprisingly empowering. And well, the solitude of the location was just what my soul needed to prepare for the shoot. Continue Reading
