4 Things // Fresh Perspective

Hey Wanderers,

Happy Sunday =)

Photographing: Gaidin in the pool and hanging out with my family. 

Dreaming of: Our living room remodel. Over the next few weeks we are refreshing the living room.  I am so looking forward to a fresh perspective.

Learning: Creative Live with Chris Burkard on the outdoor photography experience. Surfing in the Arctic circle, working with brands, creating children's books - this guy is rad.

Creating: Collages, water color painting and working on new multi-media techniques. Lately I've been painting every morning instead of writing in my morning pages.  I'm working on carving out the time to do both. I'll keep trying.

xoxo

Nichol : Joshua Tree Portraits

“Our task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and it's beauty.” ― Albert Einstein

A bit from Mike on this session:

My approach to taking these pictures of Nichol was to show her athletic side as well as her beauty.  We began by shooting some simple portraits...But then something else happened. The air cooled, the wind picked up and magic started happening. She was a dancer at one time, so encouraged her to move freely around the desert.  Sometimes a persons beauty, personality, and desires show in a photo. That's what I'm always looking for...especially in portraits. Nichol was able to go there. She had so many looks, such graceful movement, and beauty in her eyes that allowed me to capture so many different looks. It was yet another dream shoot. I feel lucky and grateful.  -Mike
