Photo of the day...

Had a client bring in some old photos of her from 1948 and some current ones of her granddaughter. She wanted a merge of two images to give to her for her upcoming b-day. So here's what I came up with knowing that the granddaughter is very artistic and a photo enthusiast...

Two images before



And the final resul

Unfortunately the original color image was so low-res and pixelated it turned out very soft and fuzzy.

Also, the customer wanted things closer together so I'm refining the artwork.

I'll post the finished image in a few days.

To be honest when I first saw the grandmother's pose it reminded me more of Gloria Swanson from Sunset Boulevard.

Here's the latest project. About 10 years ago I photographed this wedding and the groom is a total Star Wars fanatic. The light saber that he is holding is a real prop from the original movie that he bought at an auction. They played Star Wars music at there reception. Anyway... the original print I made was a studio sample and is now fading. The print gets so much attention at bridal shows that I didn't want to replace it with something else so it's getting an upgrade. The first image was taken with film and now with digital I can do almost anything.

Something tells me she's dressed up as Leia in the bedroom more than once or twice.

She supports him wholeheartedly. They are still married with kids now.


I was thinking of a new caption for the photo...

"Hey there, is that your light saber or are you just happy to see me?!"

Here's the lasted update. This groom wore a Superman shirt underneath his tux as a surprise for the bride (don't ask, inside joke). She loved it and we did a whole series of photos. The first picture was a studio sample and started fading so I thought I would reprint it with a new background.
