I am a little late about blogging this, but I've started a mini photography project to keep my creativity flowing in between weddings and portrait sessions. For those of you who have been following this blog, you might recognize this project that I originally started almost a year ago and that I never finished. So hopefully this time, I can finish all 52 weeks! :)
So in one fell swoop, I'm going to catch you all up on what I've done so far and I promise that I'll be blogging about it each week!
Week 1: Free for All (Click the link to check out my original Week 1: Free for All)
This is my nephew Matthias. Shot this past weekend. I just love his expression and I really really love natural light on babies/children :)

Week 2: Introduce Yourself (Click the link to check out my original Week 2: Introduce Yourself)
Wanted to play around with some flash work, so here's what I cam up with. A couple of things that are at the forefront of my life: my faith and my marriage and I wanted to show that I don't look down/up to those two elements, but instead they are always part of my vision going forward.
Let me know what you think!

Week 3: Show Us Your Hometown (Click the link to check out my original Week 3: Hometown)
Well I can't really claim Brooklyn as my hometown, but I'll try anyways! :) One of the most iconic things about NYC/Brooklyn are the taxi cabs. Literally, they are everywhere! Tried to do a little panning action to show the cyclist and taxis in motion.

Week 4: Water (Skipped this week due to a death in the family: RIP Maxie)
Sorry this is so late! So it's been raining a LOT in Brooklyn lately, so I wanted to take advantage and try something new. Initially, I wanted to photograph a droplet of water falling vertically, but as I was trying to do that (and failing), these droplets started running off the roof top. Many times, in photography (and in life), you just get lucky :) I really like the outward trajectory of the droplets. btw, i cropped this photo a TON.

Week 5: Sports (Click the link to check out my original Week 5: Sports)
I had the awesome opportunity to go out and witness the 2009 NYC Marathon. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience! I really like this picture because it shows the crowd and how supportive people are and how they line the streets to cheer on complete strangers as they run the marathon :)
