Ode to Print

Delighted to receive this little gem in the mail the other day. Jonathan Cherry really does seem to get it. This nifty printed piece is successfully part magazine, part portfolio, part marketing material.

underwater tests

I got an underwater casing for my camera to play around with this summer. Here’s some of my first attempts. In the ocean, its actually a lot harder that you’d imagine, having to battle the oncoming waves constantly and dealing with a slight delay in the shutter as well as water droplets on the lens. I will have to try it in a pool next.

Adam Amengual

I really enjoyed hearing about Adam Amengual’s work and career over at Heather Mortons blog. I have been following her Year in the Life series in which she follows two emerging photographers, Jamie Hogge and Grant Harder, making their way up in the field.  It was refreshing this morning to hear about one more photographer she has kept her eye on. One question, when will hear about some females?
