There's something to be said,
About being
Unmoored and adrift on a placid lake,
Lost in thoughts,
Seeing beauty in the mundane.

These are not the kind of shiny, polished, pretty rings you would see in jewelry stores. These are rings with 11+ years of wear and history. These rings have been to 11 countries... took stupid decisions to jump in the waves of Mediterranean sea after a storm, and got thrown on the rocks... have been on picnics... slouched on the couch entire weekends for Netflix marathons... have watched sunsets over seas, oceans and mountains... have been to hospitals to fix broken necks after bicycle accidents... have owned a cat, together with all the fun, scratches and craziness... have left their home, family, cat and everything they acquired together for 9 years, and lived for half a year out of two suitcases... made a new home somewhere else, where they didn't know anyone, scared of the future, alone, but together. These are not the kind of shiny, polished, pretty rings you would see in jewelry stores. These are better.
I shoot manual most of the times, but manual focus is an entire different story. My hands shake too much, and I often end up with blurry photos. My eyes are also not reliable, which makes me prefer auto focus. So I only focus manually when my camera is safely on a tripod, away from my rabbit-heart, and when I can also zoom in on my little screen, and actually see something on it.
This is a stack of two shots, and drops of hand sanitizer on a wire (water just wasn't staying in place).
Imperfection and death are part of nature’s cycle. Flowers teach us to appreciate them for the beauty they have to offer during their short life span. As they evolve from a seed to fully opening their colorful petals, they’ve been committed to growth not perfection.
I photographed flowers because they inspire me to live in the present and notice the beauty around me. They also make me realize my own limitations and weaknesses. Life is frail. Life is imperfect. But it sure can be transformative. Like a flower, I choose growth.

This is Natalia. You may remember her from this photoshoot.
February 1st 2009
My new camera has arrived, and one of my favourite shots which I've taken with it has to be the one of this tap! I just love the look of it, and I don't think I could achieve such an effect with my Samsung camera.

After a request for a self protrait from several publications I decided to give them something a slight bit obnioxious. No not this shot as that might be over the top but I did use the same hair. My blog will be down until about midnight so after that you can go over to michaelherbphoto.com/week-10-project52/ and check out the rest of the story.

This is my agenda for 2015 composed by myself on Photobox website, using my own photos.
This is my second attempt to complete a 52 week project. Hope to have better luck this year.
Week 21
Remember last week when I told you that I have to postponed the photoshoot that I planned? Well I was finally able to do it this week!
But things didn't go flawlessly. I found a MUA. She told me she was sick but she was pretty confident that she'll be fine for saturday. On wednesday evening she even confirm! I was like woooot got it! Well not exactly...On thursday evening another mail and even before I opened it I knew that it wasn't good news!!!
So here I was desperately looking for a MUA. I finally found one (Sara) and even if the Model (Elly) was still a bit sick, we decided to do this shoot anyway...Guys I'm glad we did.
Sara did a great job on the make-up and Elly was perfect. We started with some beauty shot and then we moved to something more funny yay! Here is one of the fun shot.
I also had the opportunity to play with my AB800. Thanks Andrea for your advice! Great light for the price. I'll probably add an Einstein in the future but not now. I'm still recovering from the brokerage fess and duty, plus I got to pay taxes. Lol
I don't know if you were aware of it, but this week Don Giannatti aka Wizwow did a "Lighting Essential" workshop on Creative Live. Wow... now understand why they call him WizWow. This guy is a lighting wizard. For real! I've learned so much during those 3 days. A very informative workshop!
Last but not least, Von Wong does Europe! Ben and Erwan are going to spend one crazy month in Europe working with artists. If you want to help them you can go to the project page and contribute! I got my own package name here! Haha
Hope you guys had a great Easter time and have a nice week folks!

Semaine 21
Vous vous rappelez la semaine passée lorsque je vous avais raconté que j'ai du reporter la séance prévue? Eh bien j'ai finalement pu la réaliser ce week-end !
Cela dit les choses n'ont pas été simples. J'avais trouvé une maquilleuse. Elle m'avait dit qu'elle était malade mais qu'elle était plutôt confiante d'être sur pied pour Samedi. Elle m'avait même confirmé le mercredi soir! Du coup j'étais comme un fou!! «A y est c'est bon!! Ben pas exactement...Nouveau mail le Jeudi soir et avant même de l'ouvrir je savais que ce n'était pas une bonne nouvelle!!
Et donc me revoilà désespérément à la recherche d'une maquilleuse. J'en ai finalement trouvé une (Sara) et même si la modèle (Elly) était encore un peu malade, on a décidé de shooter quand même...Eh bien je suis ravi qu'on l'ait fait.
Sara a fait un super boulot au niveau du maquillage et Elly était super. On a commencé avec des shoot beauté et on a fini avec quelques images fun dont celle-ci!
J'ai aussi eu l'opportunité de jouer avec mon AB800. Merci à Andrea pour ses conseils! C'est un super flash de studio pour le prix. Je me prendrai peut être un Einstein pour l'accompagner mais pas tout de suite. Je suis toujours en train de me remettre des frais de douanes et je dois payer mes impôts. Lol
Je ne sais pas si vous saviez, mais cette semaine Don Giannatti aka Wizwow a donné un workshop "Lighting Essential" sur Creative Live. Wow...maintenant je comprends pourquoi on l'appelle Wizwow. C'est vraiment un magicien de la lumière! J'ai tellement appris durant ces 3 jours...Bref un workshop vraiment plein d'information.
Enfin, Von Wong se fait l'Europe! Ben et Erwan vont passer un mois de mai de folie en Europe à travailler avec différents artistes là-bas. Si vous voulez les aider dans ce projet, vous pouvez aller sur la page du projet et contribuer! J'ai même un package à mon nom! Haha
J'espère que vous avez passé de joyeuses pâques et passez une bonne semaine!

Hi, there. Alison from Pennsylvania, USA. My hair is currently pink, but fading...I may go for purple next :) I have tried to complete P52 in the past, but fell out of the habit. Try, try again.
While in Austin, TX, I stayed in the coolest hotel on Rainey Street–Hotel Van Zandt. Along with its laid back hipster vibes and free happy hour, it had some of the coolest hotel design vibes i've ever seen. I loved these bikes for rent in the lobby. I wish I could have taken one for a spin.

There's something about having a Christmas tree in the house that always makes me feel so cozy. Every year I am eager to get my decorations out and put my tree up. This year marks the earliest we've ever gotten one–the week before Thanksgiving (I just couldn't wait!). We love our little tree this year. It is the first thing I turn on when I come home and the last thing I turn off before I leave. Trying to make this cozy feeling last for as long as I can.
