I've been breaking out some of my film cameras more often as of late.  Since going digital, I have this awful habit of shooting some film on occasion then never doing anything with it.  So, I've been making a good effort to keep some film into the mix in recent shoots.  Cooper was such a good subject!  Pardon the dust spots on these, I seem to be better about ditching dust while printing, not scanning. 











And a fun little triptych of Alyson and Shane's session!

I met Alyson + Shane at the Italian Market in South Philadelphia on a beautiful spring day.  The totally put their trust in me to pick out a location for their shoot and I think we all loved the character and characters we encountered that afternoon.  Alyson + Shane have been together for quite some time and are so completely at ease with each other and so natural at wrapping up in each other - love it!  Here are some of my favorites!



















 

I've taken forever to hang these images from Sandy and Allen's shoot at Eastern State Penitentiary.  I printed these images on Fine Art paper - very much like a watercolor paper, and framed them without glass so you can really see the paper quality.  The printing is so yummy!  Anyway, here is the wall collection from the shoot.  It's looks so much better hanging than propped up against the wall.  Don't mind the awful lighting, they look so much better in person, but you get the idea though  :)

from Catherine and Matt's engagement session!  I've only just started editing this shoot, but there are definitely a bunch that got me really excited, and I couldn't wait to share!  So, here is one for now, more in a couple weeks!

Upon googling myself today (oh, you know you do it too!), I found that I placed in the top 20 for 2008 Best of Engagements by Modern Photographers!  I entered some images and didn't think anything of it until now!  Guess I'm a little out of the loop on the contests.  There is some inspiring imagery up there, and I'm honored to be part of the group.  Here is the winning image... none other than Sam + Pete!  You can see the rest of their e session here.
