What matters most?

May 1, 2020

Here’s a short video I created during the lockdown

The poem On Children from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran:

And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children.
     And he said:
     Your children are not your children.
     They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
     They come through you but not from you,
     And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

     You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
     For they have their own thoughts.
     You may house their bodies but not their souls,
     For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
     You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
     For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
     You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
     The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
     Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;

     For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Skin…lots of skin….especially when i involves babies… Natural, pure and artistic. Not for everyone, I get that. But for most, it works. And works for many creative portrait sessions….newborns, maternity and little babies…

Peek a boo behind the belly….

Sometimes the best shots happen. Out of nowhere. And I need to be ready. Ready with camera and ready mentally prepared…always anticipating the unknown and unexpected. When you’re photographing a 4 year old, although they are relatively easy enough, they do have a limit, so to speak. A point in time where they decide, ok, […]
