I took my camera to CDC the other day and took many shots of those amazing kids. Here are a couple I fell in love with. When I started doing portraiture seriously I thought about what I wanted to convey and I decided that I wanted to portray mood and emotion. I was and still am greatly inspired by Colorado photographer Cheryl Jacobs. I took a wonderful workshop from her a couple of years ago. Her work is resplendent. I still think my focus is mood and emotion, but stylistically I am doing it very differently than I had intended. I thought my voice would express itself in out of focus, soft ways, but it actually screams out in sharp, wide photographs. These images are the former (especially the first one) and although I do not think they would ever be indicative of my body of work, I love them just the same.
