Natural Light!



I started a photo shoot this week using studio lighting and noticed the light coming in from the nearby window on a rainy day. I turned off all electronics and used natural light and a reflector for the attached images. I loved the results! Please take a look for yourself.

natural implies lacking artificiality and self-consciousness and having a spontaneousness suggesting the natural rather than the man-made world...

I stepped away from technology and used what was there. There is so much man made everything out there from cell phones, to computers and with computers of course there is Facebook and e-chat and Skype... Also, in reference to man made...how many of you would rather look at a landscape that was created by nature or a landscape created by man such as skylines? I choose nature....

What if we were to turn off all electronics in our world and begin to notice, once again, what is naturally there. I bet everything would become more vivid from the color of a sunset to the smell of the rain. Without the electronics there would be no compulsions to turn away from what is right there before us. Use nature as your headphones, your eyes to see beauty, and have lunch with a friend with the cell phones turned off...

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!
