Small things

I just finished the initial work shooting the new spring collection from Veleska Jewelry. Here are a couple of shots I like.

My beautiful wife

There’s the old saw about the mechanic who has a car up on blocks in his front yard. Same goes for photographers or at least this one. I seldom take photographs of the family. So on a whim Kimberly dragged me outside today to shoot a few frames. Here are my favorites.

Swimming

Shot for a client whose son was participating in the meet. Here are some samples from two Ephrata High School swim meets. And yes, if you would like shots of of one of your kids or significant other’s sports, I would love to do it. I love shooting sports.

Kady is two weeks old

I don’t shoot portraits often, in a formal sense at least. I photograph people all the time but I don’t sit down with the specific intention of photographing a person’s face very frequently. A friend of my wife recently had her first child. She asked if I would take some informal pictures of Kady and of course, who am I to to refuse? The pictures are set in the families home with no attempt made create a set. We just wanted to document Kady at two weeks. So we did.

This is how you put a baby to sleep. I had no idea. It’s like the Vulcan Nerve Pinch for babies I guess.

More watches?

I’ve just about finished rebuilding a small product studio here in the house. This test is a the result of that work. I’m really excited to be able to shoot things here in the house again. I love small product work, it’s something I enjoy and I think I’m fairly competent at it.

Watches

In many ways I kick started my professional career shooting high end and vintage watches. I love wristwatches. So I will always shoot them though it’s (unfortunately) that I get to anymore. Even more rare when something like the example below comes to me. This is a 1951 Elgin canteen watch. Notable for a number of reasons but primarily because it’s one of the very first diving watches ever made. Using by Navy frogmen whose equipment, much like this watch, would seem very unusual. Some of these photographs will be used in an upcoming book on military watches.

This is a wonderful little piece of horological history and I was lucky to have the chance to shoot it.

European Eyeware customer appreciation day

Huge props to friend and client Joe Mitchell of European Eyeware for taking an idea I’ve had for years and running with it. He had a great customer appreciation the day after Thanksgiving. As part of that promotion, I was there shooting portraits of customers in the new glasses. Here are a couple of samples from the set.

Santa Claus is coming to town

russell — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:23:46 +0000

And this year, he came in a fire engine.

So I went to the Tree Lighting and aside from being surprised that the crowd this year was smaller than last year’s gathering, I do have to say the whole thing was a lot more fun than in previous years.

Here’s one shot from that set.

Fashion

A couple of samples from a recent vintage clothing shoot for Gallery 141. Awesome volunteer models and the clothing is pretty outstanding. Easily the most fun I’ve ever had during a fashion shoot.

Time flies

Seriously, if you’re interested, the best way to keep up with me is Twitter. I am, quite obviously, @frostimaging on Twitter.

Another place to follow what I’m doing and see my latest work? Facebook. frost imaging has a shiny, brand new page on Facebook and I would love it if you would click here and become a fan.

Thanks for coming by and and checking in.

For now, here is my favorite shot from a recent shoot for the North Museum. Dr. Marla Jones of Elizabethtown College holds a vial of strawberry DNA after a presentation on DNA extraction techniques.
