Weird family poptpop

This is a very strange and lovely poptpop. And I love it.

POPTPOP at the Farm!

This...this is, I think, my favorite poptpop yet. This is Steph's mom shooting us at my grandparents' farm. More info will be at poptpop.com.

I love it. I love it so much to make it today's electric lion in addition to the next post on poptpop.

For larger (which is my preference, frankly) see Here.

Day 332

Happy thanksgiving indeed, everyone.

Day 247

An alternate shot of my grandfather from the farm a while back.

I'm really happy with these portraits.

I'm hoping the 4x5 lens will come in this week and try to squeak a couple in of Caleb and Laura. Did I mention that already?

Day 243

Day 239

Another shot of my granddad. Progress made on Lego 4x5.

Day 002

So this is Michael, though really for my purposes he is called Mcharles (distant cousin of Chostagev). This is the son of my cousin Jamie and her husband Kent and you see him on his first real day on his new thomas the train bike. I know little about this thomas person but i understand he's a hit with the ladies.

The kids went to bed and the construction of the bikes began and I couldn't help but be reminded of when I was like five years old and I got a bike for my birthday. It was a badass Huffy and it magically appeared AFTER presents had been opened while I was eating cake things. It was clearly magic and not my dad slipping it up the stairs while I attempted to get all the candle wax as far from the cake as possible with a single breath.

Today, Jan 2, I shot Steph around the apartment and Rob here at the studio as well (nerd notes: with lomo, NC160 rated at 100). Further, Steph and I painted the huge rolly wall flat white for a good base to shoot against while in the studio (when I don't need a seamless). I imagine I'll shoot on that a ton in the future. At least that was the goal of painting it.

Anyway...back to Michael.
