Oops!

Molly Piper Lindsay turned ONE YEAR OLD this month!  Her mom Wendy and dad Ryan brought her in to the studio for her one year portrait and we had a blast!  This was Molly’s 3rd portrait session with me as she has been part of my FIRST YEAR program where she is photographed as a newborn, at 6 months old, and then at ONE year!

Molly Piper Lindsay turns ONE!

We had fun making silly faces and playing around with my fabrics, rugs and simple props.  It was Awesome!  Molly’s mom and dad own and operate the PEBBLE SPA with locations in Ely and Virginia, MN.  Molly has beautiful skin and is an adorable spa-baby!

The 2009 Greenstone Juried Art Show & Sale is happening this coming weekend!

I am excited to share news that three of my photographs were chose to be in this years show and, along with many other artist’s work, will be for sale during the event.  Held at Miner’s Dry (across from the Grand Ely Lodge), this wonderful event is open to the public on Saturday, July 18, 6-9 PM, with the Auction at 7:30. Tickets are $25 each. Make reservations at 235-1912 or 365-5917.    Come enjoy a social and artistic atmosphere with wonderful food and drink!

Here is a preview of the three images of mine which will be shown and for sale at the show.  Each image is custom framed and ready to hang wherever that special place is that you have in mind.

The image size of “Angle of Repose” and “Living In The Balance” is 7″x7″ framed in a 16″x20″ double thick snow white mat and framed in a sleek black wood moulding.   Price for each print s $295.  Both images were made last summer while I was on a personal retreat on Burntside Lake.  I used my medium format Hasselblad camera and they are made with film!  Of course I did all the printing myself as is the case with all my fine art photography.

Calm After The Storm; Wilson Lake, Quetico Provincial Park

“Calm After The Storm” is a panorama image with the image size of 5.5″x14″ framed in a 12″x24″ snow white mat and framed in a sleek black metal moulding.  Price for this print is $165.   This image was made this past May while on an extended canoe trip in the Quetico Provincial Park of Ontario.  I used my Nikon D3 digital camera which is my workhorse for my portrait work and I am using it a bit more now with my nature photography as well.   If you have any questions about the works, please feel free to contact me.
