Easter Is Here. Bunnies Are Happy!

This year, I am specially thankful to God.

I am alive.

I am surrounded by my family and close friends.

Happy Easter to all my followers.

The image below is how my Easter table looks like in 2013. It is a cell phone snap and the collage was done by an android app.

Memoires From A Montreal Photography Workshop

 

It was a hot July day in 2011. Nine of us gathered at an empty mansion. We were all photographers. I hired two models. In the morning we photographed beautiful Ronda. In the afternoon the theme I chose to photograph was the 50's... Both girls Ronda and Jayne posed for us.

Everyone was allowed to shoot behind the scenes while each photographer had the opportunity to direct the models. We all worked with studio strobes and natural light.

My results, voila... It brings back beautiful memories.

Le Grand Burlesque 2013... What a Smashing Event

This shot was captured from my seat with my Samsung Galaxy SII (android phone)... No image editing was performed.

Its size was reduced to upload to the blog.

Cell phones have come a long way baby. Anyone who thinks otherwise is in total denial.

Bathing Medusa...Montreal Glamour Studio

Glamour/boudoir does not need to be a lady in a bra and underwear posing in a hotel room.

Fine art couture glamour is beyond that. It is a total artistic journey for both. The subject and the photographer. It is all about creating stories without words through your photos.

This image dates back July 2007. Since then the green sneak Twiggy has passed away. And my beautiful  subject is now a language professor in an LA university.

Styling, hair and make-up by moi.

Bed Of Roses... That Scarlet RED Means Passion...

My red tulips had dried with their perfect shape. The rest of what happened to them is this final image.

Electing The New Pope in 2013

The Cardinals are currently in the mists of electing the new Pope. May God help them. It will not be an easy task for the next Pope to revive the Vatican and find the new balance in today's Church.

There is one God for us all. No debt goes unpaid in His eyes.

Very talented Danielle, who has been one of my muses helped me to create this image several years ago. It is called " The Temptation"... A limited edition...

How timely it would be to re-share it with all of you.

It can mean many things. It is up to each individual to strech its meaning as they fit.
