Vicky
I am continuing with my theme of “portraits from the past,” this time with a photo of Vicky, who graduated from Watertown High School about 8 years ago.
Kristin
Here’s another photo from my photographic past, this time of Kristin, one of the many fine gymnasts who represented Watertown Senior High School’s gymnastic program. Not only was she a great gymnast but she was a wonderful portrait subject. This photo was taken at her parents’ dance and gymnastics center, Dakota Gold. As I recall, [...]
Joelle
In my search for photos from my early days of digital portraiture, I came across this photo of Joelle that I took almost 9 years ago. I had a great subject but the the photo also represents the power of Aperture by Apple as an editing tool in that in a minute or two I [...]
Lost!!!
This photo was a “shoebox” experience about 30 minutes ago. In a quest to find photos I have been ignoring, I started at the chronological beginning of a library of digital photos that has close to 50,000 pictures. About 300 pictures into my search, I found this. I don’t remember taking the photo, but I [...]
Humane Society?
Compositionally, this isn’t a very good photo. But journalistically it gets by because it does tell a story, even if you didn’t know that is was taken along the Las Ramblas in Barcelona, Spain. It is a photo of a mendicant (more rudely, a beggar) and his best friends. I suspect that some may ask [...]
Melissa
Melissa looks a little sad here but she was one of the more ebullient subjects I had the pleasure to photograph. She was a dancer and actively involved in theater and made posing very simple. And she had many great looks. Here, we are in an abandoned building in Gary, SD, in 2002. I had [...]
John
This is a first in my photographic career: I tried taking photos of a child in the studio. But this is not just any child; it is John, son of Kelly, one of my second year photo students. At first I thought John was going to be a tough customer but thanks to Holly, another [...]
Darcie
I took this portrait the first year I was serious about senior portrait photography. That was almost 10 years ago. The camera was the Canon 1D, which was a groundbreaking digital camera. It cost $5500 and had a whopping 4.4 megapixel sensor! I had a lot to learn about photographing people back in 2002 but [...]
The Weld
This photo was inspired by a few welding shots my LATI students submitted for a project last semester. I knew that somewhere in my vast collection of photos, I had one welding shot and here it is. I must say that welding is inherently photogenic due to the great light the welder creates.
