Fun with the i-phone

I take LOTS of pictures with my i-phone. There are some I love more than shooting with my Nikon d90. If you are looking to expand you i-phone capabilities you might want to check out this deal for specialty lenses to attach to you your phone. I just ordered mine and I am excited about expanding the images I can make with my phone.

Concrete Love

I'm a little late with my Black & White Friday photo. But I didn't want to wait until next week to post this. I took this about 10 years ago in Boulder, Co. when I was a student at Naropa university

This image reminds me that for most of us, love is an imperfect journey. It is a process that actually leads us to where we often sustain many bumps and bruises; to break us open to greater capacity to hold it. I don’t mean just romantic love. I mean the fundamental way we look at the world. It is the essence of being a spiritual warrior to keep you heart open and allow the wisdom of that courage to direct your life.

I am offering this image as a 5x7 image printed on metal with a satin finish, or a thin canvas wrap.

Both options are mounted on blocks that float the image off the wall, so there is no framing needed.

For those who live in Columbia, SC the cost is $50. Outside Cola I can drop ship for an extra $6.

To receive by February 14, order by this Wednesday, February 6.

To order, email me at k@vanaernumstudios.com with your with you name address and phone and your preference of metal or thin canvas wrap

Black & White Friday #4

Baby it is COLD outside.

When I looked at the temp on my i-phone this morning, I really didn’t want to get up and walk my dog. Reluctantly, I bundled up and braced myself for the 26° temp. I was rewarded when I encountered these little frozen jewels on a neighbor’s bush. The funny thing is that we haven’t had any rain in several days. Wonder how they got there? I think they look like little jester hats. TGIF!

Natural Acts: January 17 - February 21

“Natural Acts”

My new body of work will be on display at Trustus Theatre during its run of a very funny play, Five Lesbian's Eating a Quiche, January 17 - Feb 2. The show is directed by Robin Gottlieb and stars Elena Martínez-Vidal, Dewey Scott-Wiley, Vicky Saye Henderson, Katie Mixon, and Emily Meadows as the  “Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein.”

What could be a more delectable pairing than images of food that are suggestive of the female form? At times, I found myself almost blushing as the forms revealed themselves. I'll never see fennel in the same way again. All images were cooked up right in my kitchen turned photo studio.

Mangia!

PS: I will be the 701 Whaley Community Artist April 7- May 18. More to come on that.

Black & White Friday #3

“To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as of a precise organization of forms which give that event its proper expression.” –Henri Cartier-Bresson in his book, The Decisive Moment.

He may call it the decisive moment, but in this picture I think I just got lucky, especially, since I shot it surreptitiously with my i-phone. Of course, I love the cowboy and the light on the front rim of his hat, but I also love the guy in the background who looks like he is talking on a portable phone from the 1980’s.

This was shot in Wichita, KA.
