Marja and Tyler's Semi Pictures
12/02/12 21:09 Filed in: Portrait
I don’t know WHAT I would do if I didn’t have as many daughters to take pictures of! I know I wouldn’t have as much fun with photography! Anyway, Marja was asked by a young man named Tyler to the school Semi dance. Before the grand evening we all gathered at his family’s house not far away and had a very nice time fellowshipping and taking pictures in their beautiful house. It was the first time I had the pleasure of meeting Tyler (Monica had been his teacher, so SHE knew him well!) and he was a very fine and intelligent young man! They had a very nice evening!

Valentine Portraits

The Immanuel Lutheran Preschool (yes, it is a great place - if you have a young child, please check it out!) was the subject of valentine portraits this past week. What a GREAT time, and OH! - what beautiful kids! Last year I had picked up an old (really cool) trunk at a second hand shop, and it was just GREAT for this shoot. Bought the burlap cloth for a few bucks at the fabric store... Here is a sampling of only SOME of the best shots... Enjoy!!!
Experimenting with iPhone camera apps

So.... I have had my iPhone for over six months and I have quite a few camera and photo editing apps on it... Unfortunately I haven’t done a whole lot with them. Each of them have different abilities and “talents” (so to speak), and I just haven’t had the time to learn them all... So anyway, I thought I would spend a bit of time experimenting with a few apps on a bike I took pictures of on my morning walk... Enjoy!
Doors and "Stuff" - the final Philly post

For my final blog post I will show some of my favorite door pictures and a few other miscellaneous picts that haven’t “fit” into any of the other post themes...
As per my fetish for doors, my favorite pic is this one of two doors right next to each other, but in contrasting conditions!

Eastern State Penitentiary

Just a few blocks away from the Philadelphia Museum of Art - and all its beauty - is the extreme opposite: the darkness and fear of the historic State Penitentiary. Billed as a revolutionary institution in many ways when it was built in the early 1800s, it was finally shut down in 1971. Through the decades it housed many thousands of criminals... among them were Al Capone - and these two characters: Hannah and Sarah Bjornstad (partners in crime! haha!)
