DT 13.2 Blogging Non-School-Related Photos

My friend Zia asked me to assist him in shooting Fatima & Saqib's Wedding. I had a blast. It was so much fun!


During the break I had late dinner at Moxies with my two friends Jeff and Jules.

I was asked by my friend Nora to take some shots of her kids for a Christmas Card. Every time I had my camera pointed at them they had a million dollar smile on. They were so cute and fun to photograph.

On new years I had dinner at Fazzo and then attended a house party. Here is a picture of a happy couple kissing shortly after the new years countdown.


Yup, all those gifts were for the kids.


This is my cousin and her adorable dog Toby. He absolutely loved the camera.

This is my co-worker Kirsten. We are at our annual Christmas lunch at Joeys restaurant.

I should really stop doing drive by shootings. I couldn't help it. I couldn't stop admiring the blue sky.

I had lunch with a friend at Salsbury house. As we were walking out we came across this machine. She wanted to play it and she won.

My co-workers wife baked me a delicious batch of cookies.

It was one of my best friends birthday during the Christmas break. We went to the keg for dinner.

George Enesco 1954

I slowly went through the entire exhibit and there was one image that I couldn’t get out of my mind. It was the image of George Enesco.

There is a lot going on in this photo yet it’s not too cluttered or overwhelming. The subject is in the middle, which breaks the rule of thirds, yet it still works and makes the image visually appealing. The background compliments the subject and acts like a natural framing. The placement of his hands implies that he is multi talented at what he does. The expression on his face also shows that he loves what he does.

There are plenty of dark and light tones in the image. Looks like there would have been dodging and burning used. The side lighting added a lot of texture and depth, which helped enhance the character in his face. Although it looks like there was multiple lighting situations used in the photo, the overall dim lighting adds an intimate mood.

Karsh really did an amazing job in caputuring this photo!
