Alphabet Photo Project

I - Ink
About 9 years ago, I decided I wanted a nice pen - nothing fancy, just something nicer than the usual disposable plastic ones. I went for a bike ride to pick it up; my ride was about 12 miles round trip, and I think the pen cost about $8. When I got back, there was smoke everywhere. My apartment building had burned down and I lost most of my belongings. But I had my new pen, and it's been in my bag ever since.

Wow. Powerful backstory on the pen. You have some nice images here. Please continue!

Learning portrait lighting gets expensive when the flashes use AA batteries. Hopefully these will help!

After a 3 year hiatus, I decided to resume this series. Why start a new photo project when I didn't finish the last one yet?

K - Kiddo
I always ask him to pose and smile for the camera, but goofy shots like this one show his real personality.

L - Lego
Once again, my kid's toys have become my subject. Originally shot with a single light camera left, I decided to add a blue gelled backlight and a 2nd fill light camera right so Luke Skywalker's face wasn't in complete shadow. I used a stacked second exposure to get R2D2 and C3PO in focus as well. The background is black commando cloth, and the landscape is courtesy of an old space station Lego set from 1984.

Great start, can't wait to see what Q and X bring!

This is an excellent family/lifestyle shot! Glad to see you pick this back up!

Some varied and fantastically original photographs in here. Very pleasing.

Love the missing teeth. Lil'Bit has lost three so far.

I don’t think I noticed it in any photos, but I always think it’s a cute look!

Her's are on the bottom so they don't show as much.
