For A Moment Photography

Feb. Photo Promo

I have been contemplating something like this for awhile.  I've read so many stories about companies research job applicants Facebook page.  After looking at some of the profile photos, this might actually be the problem!  Could your profile photo be preventing you from your dream job?...  Hmm...  I have to say I cringe every time I see a bathroom self portrait.  Or the ones in the car- I'm just concerned for your safety- are you driving or parked?...  This might be because of my profession, even so I think everyone deserves to have a great portrait of themselves.

As you may know I recently had Suzy (the make up artist I'm paring up with) do my makeup for a photo.  What a difference, she did such an amazing job I was excited for a photo.  The fact that the guys at my camera shop told me, "get out from behind the camera- today is the youngest you'll ever be"- was motivation too!   

Call me or email me with any questions.  These photos are individual photos only (no couples, friends or family).  As far as make up you have options!  Do you want a everyday look, a smokey eye, sun kissed or a pin up look?  Your makeup choice will obviously influence your dress and photo.  Have an idea before hand so I can design a photo that works for your look.

PS Don't wait, limited availability!    

 

 

 

The Big Night

 

Oh, I love this movie!  About 10 years ago I was introduced to this film by a long time friend (hello Mr. McGinty).  I fell in love with the music, the clothes (set in 1950's) and the film.  The Big Night, Written by Stanley Tucci and his cousin.

I watched the film today again so that I could blog about it and share this film with you.  Watching the film today I had a different experience with the film.  I still love love the film, maybe even more now...  I attached one of my favorite scenes from the film above.  I always loved how they captured the passion of cooking and the beautiful process of what goes into The Big Night's meal.  

The plot of this movie shows the struggle to stay true to their art vs. commerce (and being a successful restauranteur).  That does not sound very exciting I know.  But I think it's an idea that most of us struggle with and I think it ($) is what has created this food crisis in America (cheap, hormone & antibiotic injected food).   

The scene above is great (watch it before you read any further).  Always made me laugh, I don't think my generation has the appreciation of food as those before us.  For us it's more a focus on ease and quickness of a meal that matters.  With us wanting faster, cheaper, bigger meals we got to where we are now. Our kids don't know what basic vegetables even look like.  And we have a huge childhood obesity issues...  Ahh, but I'll save all that talk for another post... 

If you want a good movie to snuggle in with this is a great one.  There is a great affection between the brothers, Primo and Secondo.  It will make you hungry.  So I suggest an italian meal before, a bottle of wine and make some room to dance.  While looking for some photo for this post I came across a recipe (click here) on a blog for one of the dishes they make in the movie.  I'll have to give it a try, I always wondered if it's as good as they say.

I'm now on project #2 of 52 (click here to see week 1).  This week we had to illustrate a song.  I picked, Jar of Hearts by Christine Perri.  I heard a portion of this song the other day and used my iPhone app to find out the name and artist.  It was only doing this blog post that I heard the entire song and saw the video.  

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that, it (video and album cover) is in black in white- except for the heart!  Originally I was going to do it in color but it wasn't popping so I went black and white.  Then I was going to color in the pink and red hearts back in.  But I did one and stopped there...  It worked, the image popped and the focus was on the heart...  Wanting to add the video to my blog I got on YouTube to find it.  I see the video...  Oh well, I guess I'm not alone in thinking this was a good concept.
