Yesterday (april 20, 2008) was the Nashville’s Earth Day festival featuring Jen Foster,Jypsi and Raul Malo. The turn our seemed to be less than normal due to the chillyness and rainy weather. But all in all it was a good time. I think i may sign up for a CSA this year.
Here is a slide show of the Pictures off my Flickr Site:
I saw a feature on Sophie Thouvenin on stainlesssteeldropings.com. Her work is stunningly beautiful, inspiring and amazingly beautiful.
Here are a few of my favorites form her website www.prismes.com with comment (all images copyright of Sophie Thouvenin) :
Notice the figure in the reflection in the eye
I love the amazing detail in this one
I love the subjects facial expression and how the over feel is the photograph is told in her looking up . Almost as looking for something.
I love how all but the two drops are in focus and the detail in the reflection.
I like how the subject seems to looking over her shoulder and dissolving into the background yet her hand seem to me touching that which hasen’t started to dissolve.

What strikes me with these it the way he is able to portray the eeriness that comes when light fades to darkness. The seemingly normal settings have something abnormal happening.
I hope to someday be able to do pull something like this with my photography.
