reviewing the shot...

Looking through some of my old film pictures is always fun. Ran upon this one from last year at the fourth of July pre-fireworks show. I was shooting with my Leica M6 and Pyper was shooting with my Canon 6D. After watching Tyler and me shoot so much, she picks up many of our mannerisms. It is so neat to just sit back and watch her in action. So glad I caught this one on film...

coming home...

With so many pictures of Pyper and Allister on my hard drive, I have finally decided that I better get to posting or I'm only going to get farther behind. This was taken in the hospital on the day that Allister was coming home. I love the mood of this picture. It was like time is standing still...

a young pro(digy)...

Some may be a little nervous seeing a 3 1/2 yr old holding a camera that cost a bit of money. Me... Not nervous at all. I am way too proud to be nervous. I get all excited when I see Pyper taking pictures. The reality is that she has every opportunity to be so great at it. I love the look on her face when she takes a good photo and sees in on the screen. Her smile is a mile wide... and so is mine...

bonding...

It is almost as if I am viewing someone's interaction from afar. From the look of the photo, nobody else exists in this space. I love that I was able to capture this moment between Maci and Allister so early in Allister's life. The mother-daughter bond is such a powerful force...

as they exist today...

Team Tyndell as they exist on the night of 18 June 2014

(Pyper, Maci, Tyler and Wilco).

Tomorrow, things will change...

The arrival of Allister is upon us...

some time outside...

We all got some one-on-one time out in the sun with Pyper this past Sunday. Figured it was a great day to spend together as we prepare for our new arrival this week...

pyper times two...

Pyper is loving that I give her an instant photo every time we take photos now. Before long, she will have quite a collection. She puts them in her room on a nightstand beside her bed. I took several Leica 35mm photos of her tonight and I also took a few digitals with my Canon 6D. I absolutely love the variety of cameras that I get to use every day to capture moments just like this...

behind the scenes...

An image can potentially be better if it reveals something behind the scenes that is hidden most of the time. When I saw this image on the computer it immediately stood out because of my reflection. Pyper seems somewhat oblivious to the fact that I am shooting a photo of her, even though I am practically in her face with the camera. Looking at the photo makes me think any minute that she will turn her head towards the mirror and see me...

good morning...

I always look forward to the light of a new morning. Day after day, this never gets old...

coming home...

Came home today and Pyper was at our house. Love that I get these opportunities to see her so often and document so many of her unique expressions. Only have a few more photos to go before my "Faces of Pyper" project is complete. Hopefully will be posting the entire set soon...

when you can't decide...

If I can't decide which one I like best, I just edit and post them all. The first one was a lighting test for the Impossible 8x10 portrait using studio lights in my garage. Sadi's not smiling, but I really love the stare. The second and third ones are primarily the same with the exception of one is vertical and one is horizontal. Both of them were shot with window light coming in beside and behind me. To be honest, my instinct is to mostly shoot horizontal images, but occasionally I step outside my box and shoot a vertical image. I usually like the image when I shoot them, I just feel that it takes more mental effort to remember to turn the camera. Is there such a thing as a lazy photographer?

let's take pictures...

So I've been working on a little project with Pyper using the Impossible Instant Lab and four packs of Impossible Cyanograph SX-70 Film. I am calling it "Faces of Pyper". It is all made up of portrait-style head shots that show many, if not all, of her expressions. I will not be posting any more of the Cyanograph shots until the project is done. When Pyper came over today, I wanted to capture a few more of her expressions. As soon as she saw the camera, she asked me if she could takes some pics of me. I absolutely love that! She took a few of me and I took a few of her. My two favorites are above...

something to smile about...

Pyper's smiles are the best when you catch her unprepared to pose. Perfect opportunity when she's watching a favorite tv show...

no loitering...

Another few photos from our weekend trip to Gruene. Got up early on Sunday morning and headed down to the Guadalupe river to capture a few photos. It was a cloudy, but warm morning and the mosquitos were out in full force. Needless to say, I didn't stay long. But I wondered; if they didn't want me to loiter, why do they have a stool sitting by the river? Just a thought...

a little baking...

Pyper helped me bake some Lemon Cooler cookies tonight...

am I dreaming...

Sherri and I never really go on vacations to just take photos. Sherri has never been a fan of that type of vacation. She generally tells me to go and have fun without her. Well, that all changed this past weekend. We went to Austin and Gruene Texas to see a few things we have never seen and TO TAKE PHOTOS. After getting some coffee and relaxing, we took these photos of each other taking photos of each other. This really makes me smile...

growing up before my eyes...

A photo of Pyper leaving our house today with her umbrella, backpack and dog "Felicia"...

Little miss Pyper is literally growing up right before my eyes. Seems like yesterday I was photographing her as a newborn on a set of antique scales in our living room. I am so thankful for being blessed with so many types of cameras to take an incredible amount of photos of our family and to be able to look back and see every milestone on my multiple blogs. Photos like this truly inspire me to continue to photograph...

film wins...

I can't get over how beautiful this camera looks. It has been a dream to shoot with this weekend. I am already looking forward to developing the roll of film that is currently in the camera. Sherri doesn't believe I will have the patience to keep shooting this camera since I have to wait on the film to get developed and scanned. She said that I am way too accustomed to instant film. I am determined to prove her wrong...
