Helping a Friend

I have a friend who is trying to start her own business here in California; she recently had a successful Kickstarter campaign to launch her Cozy Chic Fashion for a Cause.  The name of her company is Tillage Clothing Company.  She designed a sustainable, wrinkle-free pant for ladies to wear on just about any occasion.  The thrust of her vision is to help combat human trafficking in our own back yard and in the world around us.


Abby Farr has worked diligently on her project and has recently begun shipping her product to those who invested in her Kickstarter project. To help her promote her company, we recently photographed several models wearing her design.

 The pants are classy and can be worn on different occasions without feeling overly or under dressed in "California Casual" situations.

Here's wishing her all the best in her new endeavor and great success!

Beauty

One of the great loves I have in photography is portraiture.  Why portraiture and not landscapes or abstracts?  I have this wondering eye always looking at the landscape of each person's face, looking for a special abstract beauty which is emoted by facial characteristics, the way a person looks, and the way a person carries themselves.  It may be someone just passing by, it may be someone sitting at a distance, or someone I see routinely.

I was photographing a young lady the other day, using various street spots for backdrops when this beautiful young woman passed by.  Our eyes caught but she disappeared into a doorway of the office.  A bit later she came out and I invited her to wait for a moment while I took a photograph of her.

 After several snaps with a willing participant, she disappeared down the walkway. 

When I uploaded my day's work, there she was.  So I proceeded to go to work adding my special "soup" to the mix of a pretty lady and a vision of what I wanted her to be.

I'll go out and look for another beauty.
