A few months ago there was a story about me in the local newspapers – I had been named the 2008 Innovative Artist by ArtWorks NH. I was taken totally by surprise – and felt really honored. Not long after I was contacted by a person who had seen the article and wanted to know if I would be interested in doing some photos of her son in the Spring.
Sunday, Dave and I headed out into the woods in Newmarket to shoot – a beautiful day, only downside being that the black flies felt the same way about it having been a long winter…they hatched and were very very hungry. So Dave and I meandered, moving on when either the photos were working, weren’t working or when we needed relief from the bugs.
We ended up by a swamp that had as residents a couple of nesting ospreys and to the tune of their wonderful calls shot some pretty cool photos. Dave was an excellent subject – putting up with my crazy ideas, throwing in a few of his own and not making fun of me using an off camera strobe to supplement the light.
Here’s a few of the photos from out hike.
