An abstracted sunrise
I have a side project running where I am building a collection of images that have a painterly quality to them. I like to soften the picture by manually de-focusing the image in camera. When it works, the effect can look more like a painting than a photograph.
I’m still crazy about sharp images but this paint approach is a nice break from the vigilance demanded on the technical front and allows me to study the gradation of colours and the relationships between the forms in a composition. And, it’s always fun to just play around.
Here a couple of others in the developing series.

Hospital Miniatures – Images from Alberta Children’s Hospital
When my son is sleeping, I have made a few photographs of the view out the window as well as the scene inside. Most images here were made using the Lensbaby Muse lens at F/2.8. I’m not feeling super inspired in the last few days but it is fun to work with the depth of field focus effects you can create using any of the Lensbaby optics.
Kian loves this wheelchair but I framed it in a somber mood here.
