December morning walk

A fishy fall morning

Just over a week ago we woke up to SNOW.
In OCTOBER.

By the time I bundled up the kids, grabbed my camera and headed out most was melted.
(I'm not complaining)

While driving around town Weston told us all of his plans on who he wanted to throw snowballs at once there was more snow. Watch out Grandma(s) and Aunt Dee Dee, he was mentioning your names a lot. haha!

A passing storm in B&W

Yesterday the kids and I went on a little drive to get out of the house and we timed it perfectly with a passing hail storm. The kids loved the excitement of the high winds and hail pounding on their windows. I loved the creative break during the day. Win-win.

Garrett Sherwood and West Memphis

If you live in the Rexburg, ID area I HIGHLY recommend this group to you.

They have a great sound and energy!

Everyone, Garrett Sherwood and West Memphis.

Rexburg Animal Shelter, Part two

Here are more photos from my Rexburg Animal Shelter documentary project.

You can see more photos from the first post here.

I've been learning a lot about animal photography through this project. Whenever I looked at professional photography of animals, before this project, it didn't cross my mind that they were most likely using trained dogs as their models. They made taking a portrait of an animal look so easy. I'm here to say it is not easy. Especially in film. Most dogs move A LOT. When you come down to their level they run towards you. Even though it gets frustrating sometimes, I'm still loving this project.

I have three more weeks of shooting time and after that, two weeks to make it into a book.

Bring it on.

 

Rexburg Animal Shelter

For my Photo III class I am doing a documentary photography project where I take photos of the Rexburg Animal Shelter. I've really been enjoying this project. It gives me more reason to work with film and spend time with dogs. These photos are from my first two visits.
