This week I tried to post some of my older work on P.O.T.D. With the exception of “Before Lucky” and the “Daydream” REmix, this weeks photos are from early to mid 2007 and taken on my humble 7.2 mp Sony Cybershot, before I purchased my Canon.
As always, feedback is appreciated and thanks for watching the P.O.T.D. on Twitter. =D
Enjoy.

Sunday, May 10th, 2009 -”Lucky”
Lucky is one of my personal favorites. It seems very Irish to me for some reason and not just because of the green. There is an old building here on the Redwood Highway that used to be a Grower’s Nursery. It’s been for sale for probably close to ten years now, empty and deteriorating. It’s porch with peeling paint and splintering food was the setting here, featuring the lovely legs of the beautiful model Susanne. Lucky seems like the perfect title.
Monday, May 11th, 2009 – “Daydream (High Contrast REmix)
We’ve seen this one before and frequently lately. “Daydream” is one of my favorite portraits that I’ve snapped lately and like all things that I favorite, I latch on and beat it until it’s dead lol. I’ve REmixed this photo so many times now I can’t even count them anymore. I really like this high contrast / color burn blend, it looks very horror movie poster – ish. That and Claire is fracking gorgeous.
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009 – “Before Lucky”
Before we shot Lucky, we shot this pic. Susanne was rolling up her pants to get a good view of her legs and feet for the “Lucky” shot and I took this photo when she was getting settled and not expecting it. I don’t believe that “Lucky” would have worked as well as this one in black and white but, “Before Lucky” rocks it!
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009 – “Sarah’s Flowers”
My sister-in-law’s little sister got married in June of 2007. I was not the wedding photographer, but I did bring my camera to snap a few while I was there. This is my favorite out of that set. Yes, the color on those flowers is natural, not punched in Photoshop like so much of my stuff is. The only Photoshoping here is a vignette with saturation around the edges to give it a sort of Lomoesque look.
Thursday, May 14th, 2009 – “While Reading”
Early June 2007, I was laying on the couch, (camera on tummy) reading, I believe Chuck Palahniuk’s “Diary” when I noticed the light coming in the sliding glass door was quite bright and lovely. I took this one handed and carelessly, then continued reading. =)
Friday, May 15th, 2009 – “Polka Shoes”
My friend Ilea had these shoes that I adored! I worked with her at a bank in Grants Pass, before I became a manager. One beautifimous summer evening, after closing the bank doors I had her quick run out to the grass with me and kick off her shoes. This is the result. I went out and bought these same damn shoes I loved them so much. I still have them too.
Saturday, May 16th, 2009 – “Potted Flowers”
My parents porch. A summer evening. Sitting on the deck with my camera. Waiting for cars to drive by and the sun to set so I can take night shots of them driving by. I took this while waiting and tweaked it to look Lomoesque. Katie likey.
