Fire!

Last night we set stuff on fire. This kind of light capture requires really long exposure times; tricky to find just the right focal lengths, a first attempt to get this kind of shot. Thanks as always to my lovely assistant Herb,  there, who decided he found a new calling in life.

Take Two

Congrats to my big brother & his new bride.

The wedding was originally scheduled for August, but Hurricane Irene forced a re-schedule. Take Two was fortunately lacking natural disasters of any kind.

Cyborg Trio at the State

         A couple shots from this past Friday, I joined the Cyborg Trio at the State Theater here in Portland; it's a beautiful old place, and of course these guys are always fun to work with.

     The State is a beautiful old art-deco theatre (theatre, not theater) recently re-opened after being shuttered for several years. It's good to see the place up & running again.

Sneak Peak

A little preview from the book, which, with a little bit of luck, should be out by early December, and will make a great gift for the kid(s) in your life. And proceeds go to the open Sky Fund, which gets musical intruments to underprivileged kids in Maine, so it's like how can you say no?

Stress-doodles

    This may be shocking, but when in a state of high anxiety, I tend to grab my doodle pad and go nuts with the pen. This particular doodle, as you can see, suffered through some paper-strangling and Winston-nibbling (from leaving my pad on the floor, it's what I get). Why the high anxiety? Well, the GOP debates were last night....and we'll just leave it at that.

And as an aside, just to put it out there, I have a stack of Alice prints still for sale, as well as some originals kicking around, which are for sale, and if you're interested shoot me an email.

Cheers ~ Liz

Stage Craft

A look at the set I put up this weekend at Geno's here in Portland. I didn't manage to get a photo of the actual setting up, which I should have, because we had to actually put up staging on order to reach the ceiling. You should have seen the look on the owners face when he walked in to that; fortunately he was very gracious & seemed to like the end results as well.

mawwage

So I do, on occaision, venture into wedding photographer territory - a couple of weeks ago I shot good friends Jeff & Kathy doing the deed in Wells, Maine. Above is one of my favorite shots of the night.
