Portraits of a Man

For Rico, the quiet amusement of my life 

This is a portrait of my husband, Rico. I see him everyday not noticing the constant yet tiny changes that happen in our daily lives. In this portrait series- I love how he steadily gazes  into the not so distant future, a testament of his personality. His mind might wander, but his heart is still. The stillness in this photo echo his quiet confidence. 

Choose a monochromatic photo. Include drama if possible. 

Look at contrast and tonal values

The simplest lines say the most.

Your life is a gift to me and our family. You inspire me to keep moving forward. Looking forward to seeing you grow old and may I continue to capture it for the rest of our lives.  Happy Birthday!

Start Bright

Star light, Star bright...  

The first star I see tonight

 I wish I may, I wish I might

 Have the wish I wish tonight. 

I wish I may have all the might

To make my wishes come to light

I wish I may, I wish I might

Have the courage to always start bright

Here's to turning chapters and evolving stories. May we continue to live out the lives that we choose to create. Hurray, it's not the end of the of the world. Happy New Beginning! I hope all your dreams do come true! It's time to make a wish! :)
