“ Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place. ”
― Rumi
I can honestly say, this has to be one of my favorite quotes. New image “Sorrow”.
What is an emotion that you are connecting with the most right now?

Sometimes you have to make your own ray of sunshine. =) I've had a ridiculous cold I can't shake for the last week and there is unbelievably loud construction outside my window, but I'm still so grateful for my life and the opportunities I have.
Be soft ... be resilient, be feminine, be shy, be proud, don't be loud, don't take up too much space. Be what they want you to be, but don't be too much... because you will never be enough...fuck them. Be wild, be proud, be loud, and be authentic, be the embodiment of love and give it away freely, for the world is cruel and will break you time and time again. Claw and crawl your way back to you.. nurse the broken pieces and be kind your soul doesn't need to understand the 'if's' and 'why's' don't let them murder the sparkle you have for life.
Captured at Princeton University...a rare moment of quiet in the otherwise bustling passageways, the archway had a skeletal-like appearance.
Submitted for "Transportation" themed competition - scored 9 (on a scale of 6 to 9).
Made some subtle changes. I think they make a lot of difference. I love doing composite photography :D I tried to replace the other one but it won't let me! :( oh well

Halloween themed photo of my son. Edited with 3 of my cloud overlays (full set of overlays available on my website for purchase, www.childpetphotography.com), fake lightning, fake bats, and a texture overlay to add to the dark feel.
Screaming out for black and white with sepia...captured at the amazing Pennhurst Asylum.

My kiddo is learning to read and he’s fascinated by all of the stories and adventures he can go on through reading.
I recently took a series of photographs with the aim of trying out some composite work (the above turned out to be #3). I learned loads on lighting and how to use it to simplify masking in photoshop.
The lighting used was two bare speedlights on each side of the model (at 1/8th power) and a silver reflector for fill.
The background is a 3-stop HDR from a garage that have been modified to get an enhanced tunnel effect (it's not so deep in reality).
And one more thing when it comes to masking. Less is more.
Composite because no one wants to see some guy with a beer gut cutting thru a scene with a turkey leg in his hand and his sweaty wife sloshing an alcoholic beverage.
First attempt at compositing. Created this fooling around while watching the kids this morning. Used an old RAW file and an image found on the internet (try as I might I cannot find the name of the artist to credit them, if I do, I will). Looking forward to actually planning a composite and shooting/lighting the subject and background with the intention of compositing them.
Part of a project I've started working on; cinematic screen grabs from a "movie".
Strobe stuff: Shot against a green screen with a Flashpoint XPLOR 600Pro and a 60" round soft box camera left. XPLOR 400Pro in a gridded strip box camera left.
Abandoned in Chairville, NJ...the owner's house, the station office, pumps and sign. When was the last time gas was $1.05 anywhere?

It’s been 4 weeks since we got the order to shut our gym doors. I remember walking into work that evening and feeling such an ominous energy in the club. Earlier that morning, I had the unsettling feeling that my 5:30am cycle class would be my last. We got call after call that night asking if we were going to shut down, what would happen to their dues, etc. It was overwhelming – here people were worrying about monthly dues but I was worried about my paycheck. Together with our general manager, we closed the gym down. It was so strange. What now?
That night, I shared on Instagram to check in on me because I was not okay. The truth is that I wasn’t, my life and routine had all of a sudden been spun around. For a week I felt the ups and downs of this “new norm,” of no gym and being mandated to stay home. Once the storm passed and I settled into a new routine, I learned that I really was okay and that I would be just fine.
This new norm is an interesting one. As she sits waiting for time to go by she is protected by the safety of her nest, yet it is that same nest that keeps her distanced from the world. She wears a mask to represent the facelessness we are all feeling by being disconnected. Her mask and gloves keep her safe but it is her overwhelming emotions that are the real problem. She sits in near darkness waiting for the dawn to come once again. This has become her new norm.
What sets you free? How will you create from a place of pure “youness”?

I am so grateful to Mrs. Death (as weird as that sounds) because the project of bringing her to life has – in its own way – set me free. There was something so incredibly liberating out of creating with a set prop and just letting your imagination run 100% completely wild. The best part is that I set aside my personal fears of judgement, tucked my head down and just created. At four images so far, Mrs. Death has taken a life of her own. She is dramatic, quirky, slightly humorous and caring. Just because she comes for those who are dying does not mean that she does not honor or respect the dead.
“Roses for the Dead” was created from a place of honoring those who’ve died and especially those who have passed with no one to mourn them. Mrs. Death comes to seek the dead with a red rose to honor their human lives.
I hope to be able to continue this project throughout the year. As a little girl, I have always had an interest in skulls and skeletons. I am grateful that my Mom never tried to change my interests or make me feel like something was wrong with me. Later on, I was judged for wearing my skeleton hoodie in July – someone walked up to me and told me that it wasn’t Halloween yet with a tone of slight disgust. I’ve never truly cared about such things but this person caught me during a vulnerable moment where that comment was like a seed planted in my heart. Basically, it was not okay to be 100% me – just the part that doesn’t weird people out is ok. Well, I am here to tell you (five or so years later) that being 100% me is the best feeling in this world and Mrs. Death has shown that to me.
Be free, be weird and most importantly be fiercely you because no one out there will ever come close.
Reminiscent of the movie Waterworld ...
This private community of shanties perched atop pilings in the sound connect by a long, narrow, rickety boardwalk, also suspended above the water. Some are still occupied and lovingly maintained by their owners. Others hang on by a thread, abandoned, too battered to enter, their contents forever entombed. And, the more unfortunate dwellings, long swept away by storm.
This portrait was taken while my stylist was fiddling with Sarah's hair. We were in the middle of a mother/daughter portrait session. For some reason, I casually asked Sarah what her favorite animal was, she instantly replied, "A fantasy creature thais part wolf, part dragon, who loves monarch butterflies." This conceptual piece immediately came to mid. It took me about ten hours to create, and I loved every powerful minute of it. Sarah is her power animal.
I wanted to do an arty sequence with Mondays Blood Full Super Moon. This covers the time from 2:20 through until 3:35am then I hit bed as had work....lol
Captured on the banks of The Penobscot River in Bangor, Maine.
*Please note, the information I included below is paraphrased from this article: bangorinfo.com/Focus/focus_water_works.html
"Built in 1875, the eight buildings that comprise the Bangor Water Works at Treat's Falls, across State Street from Cascade Park, were once part of an engineering marvel as the largest water pump in New England, which not only pumped water from the Penobscot throughout the city, it also generated electricity for the city's streetlights and buildings."
"Today, the eight buildings are abandoned and decaying. Floors and roofs are rotting and windows are broken and boarded. There are plans to turn the waterworks into a museum honoring the Penobscot River's importance to central Maine. The buildings were last used by the filmmakers of "Graveyard Shift," a movie made of a Stephen King story."
