Busy day ... business demands attention ... morning flew by ... SMS cracked me up ... you have to watch what you're reading during a meeting ... crocodiles are hilarious ...

Working on edit of my photo shoot with April in London last week.

Picture of the day:

April is wearing vintage fur with a vintage bustier.   The Leica rangefinder is a 1946 model ... I just love how this camera looks.  Fully functional with a 5cm F1:2 lens but only used sparingly as a prop.

We got quite a few great images out of this look.  Shot in the late afternoon on Wellington Street in downtown London, ON in front of an antique store.

Quite a few onlookers and cars honking in support but April handled the distractions well.  Make-up and hair by Joy, wardrobe by April

This image is part of a sequence that was shot photojournalistic style.  I don't like posing this type of shots.   I rather explain the concept and let the model run with it.  More natural looking images.

Busy day at work and still dealing with the fall-out of a broken BlackBerry the other weekend.

Trip to Finland is cancelled.

Working on more pictures and a multi-shoot story-line.  Wardrobe selection in SF for my next LA shoot ... is going to be something different than what I normally do ... planning to shoot multiple models in the same space ... vintage alluring fashion ... meeting of the minds with N. ... more candid shots.

April sent me another pic from the previous weekend ... me ... as seen through the lens of my model ... lol ... no one ever takes pics of me.

Getting ready to shoot a wedding tomorrow, has been a while since I shot one but I love them ... challenging and rewarding at the same time.
