Miss Daisy

Security Blankie

Who knows what squeaky-toy animal this scrap of fabric came off of. The original toy is long gone, but little Daisy has latched on to this tiny scrap much like a toddler to his baby blanket. When my mom asked me to do pictures of Daisy, she requested a photo of Daisy and her "blankie." I love how the orange sticks out so dramatically against the white fur, and how the scrap is nestled in between Daisy's paws, almost as if she were holding it.

Little Einstein

We've always thought that Daisy had a rather Einstein look to her- her hair is always a mess and always seems to stick out in any which way. This photo was taken with the natural light of the window, and almost created a painterly effect. It has not been manipulated with in any way, simply the reaction of the lighting and the fluffiness of Daisy's fur created the soft edges.

Headshot

This photo and the one above are going to be printed in a diptych manor. I think they compliment each other very well, and both possess the same painterly quality to them. I like how this close-up gets the blue/gray tones of Daisy's eyes, and they seem to peer at you in an almost human-like way.

New York

Last Embrace

I recently got a film-to-digital converter and have been uploading older pictures that I've taken. I do not have access to a darkroom, so it's been really nice to play around with some of my negatives finally. This picture was taken in New York City last Easter, though I don't remember where exactly it was. I love the expression on the man's face though, it is so sincere and full of emotion.
