BIG NEWS---MOVING TO A NEW LOCATION!

2010-02-13T13:40:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone,

I've decided to move my blog to another service. It's a one-photo-per-day format (that's right, a new picture EVERY DAY!) and it has a great portfolio feature and powerful archive. I am in the process of filling in the archives & portfolio with some of my old favorites. So, check out the new site and let me know what you think!

http://libertykifer.aminus3.com/

I'm very excited about the new site, I hope you guys like it, too....

Cheers,

Lib

More Doors Of Hot Springs

2009-12-06T20:19:00.000-08:00

getting quite a collection of these now.....something about doorways fascinates me. Each one is unique and has its own history and character, and raises all kinds of questions about who lives there, and why....

I took a bunch of the images from "sisters in the park," gave em a nice antique finish and wrote a little photo essay on them. You can find that, and the new images, HERE

sisters at the park

2009-10-03T18:25:00.000-07:00

took the girlies to the park in town today....it was chilly but we were bundled and had a nice time. I was hoping to get more of the two of them together, but it's pretty hard to wrangle them into getting a picture taken, with both wanting to go explore. I should have brought an assistant! Still, i like what I got, and did almost no editing to these.

Engagement shoot

2009-09-23T20:10:00.000-07:00

My first real gig, and this couple was kind enough to pick a few to let me use for my portfolio.

around town

2009-09-23T19:56:00.000-07:00

Here are a few from around here, i just love the one of the little girl. she's a friend's daughter, 5 years old and very spunky!

whitey

2009-09-23T19:53:00.000-07:00

some pics I shot of whitey the other day....i think he's fascinating, he's like a miniature panther.

awesome new sasha pic!

2009-09-15T19:10:00.000-07:00

This girl is the best model EVER...imagine that, a toddler that actually earns her keep! I just love how crisp everything came out here, and the background was so dark it just vanished with a minor adjustment. Those green eyes are so amazing.

the gals (and me)

2009-09-08T21:38:00.000-07:00

Here's one for Grandma who complained of not seeing any new ones of Sasha for a while. The one of both girls is not the best but it was from an indoor flash shot so I did what I could with it.....cute smiles though. And i threw in one of me at the end.....yeah, yeah like anyone cares :P

Spirit of Hot Springs Part 1--Always there

2009-09-05T08:56:00.000-07:00

For my Digital Photography course at AAU, I am supposed to take one image that captures "A day in the life" of Hot Springs. This is gonna be tricky, this place has SO much character----and so many characters! Here are the first 4 that I've liked from my trip to town yesterday.....more on the way soon. The theme here is "Things that are always there."

3 new black/whites

2009-09-05T08:51:00.000-07:00

Abby's dog Dyssa, our road (see how the dead trees have been stripped by the horses and donkeys?) and a circle of barbed wired in the grass.

storytime...and a preview of things to come

2009-09-03T18:31:00.000-07:00

another family pic.....this one is so sweet, you can really see the resemblance between meko and sasha.

I promise, i'm going to get out of the house and shoot some new stuff---SOON! I have an assignment for a class to photograph a "day in the life" of Hot Springs. I can only submit one for critique/grading but I will post all my favorite attempts here....maybe you can help me pick the best one! You can leave comments on any of these posts, btw...

3 generations of Allisons

2009-09-03T11:25:00.000-07:00

I haven't been getting out to shoot much, but I did get a few nice portraits the other night when Meko's dad came over. Here's grandpa, dad, and zoe....three generations.

on the porch

2009-08-29T13:48:00.000-07:00

my girls, my favorite models! here's a little photo shoot from the other day, Zoe is only 7 months and already sooooo eager to get walking! hopefully it will be a little longer yet.....she's very different in front of a camera than Sasha the Extrovert. She really is a happy baby, I swear!

b & w's

2009-08-29T13:43:00.000-07:00

a few high-contrast black-and-whites because i haven't done any for a while....none of these are what i would call perfect, but i do think each has its own charm :)

sad guy and mixing bowl

2009-08-29T13:39:00.000-07:00

these two have nothing whatsoever to do with each other, just odds and ends. the sad guy is the last of my edits from the fair, took me a while to figure out how i wanted to capture that sadness.....i like how it turned out.

sasha in the sun

2009-08-27T11:51:00.000-07:00

always thought she looked good in turquoise!

flowers. always with the flowers!

At the fair Pt. 2

2009-08-24T17:19:00.000-07:00

as promised, more fair pictures...fanciful and vintage-inspired :)

At the fair Pt. 1

2009-08-24T12:15:00.000-07:00

i'm calling this part 1 because i will probably have more coming in the next couple days from our trip to the fair....Sasha's first time on the rides, and it was pretty magical. this top one is maybe my favorite picture i've ever taken!

a spooky self-portrait and a not-self-portrait

2009-08-24T12:09:00.000-07:00

all creatures great and small

2009-08-24T11:55:00.000-07:00

living, dead, or extinct (or made of plastic)

how bout some color?

2009-08-24T11:50:00.001-07:00

just when things were getting allllll monochromatic:

headlights and taillights

2009-08-24T11:47:00.001-07:00

i think you can guess the theme here...

old places

2009-08-24T11:41:00.000-07:00

these two were both taken around where we live....

leaf, branch, tree

2009-08-24T11:33:00.000-07:00

here's 3 more, from the leaf to the branch to the whole tree. top one was taken in Eureka, MT, middle one in Hot Springs, MT and the last was taken in Maui.

blue skies...

2009-08-24T11:13:00.000-07:00

Our internet was down all weekend :( but now it's back up and I have TONS of new pictures to share....most of these are old ones i've gone back and edited. I'll start with a set of landscapes cause they go together well. i'm usually terrible at landscapes, but i like these.

Rachel

2009-08-21T23:38:00.000-07:00

just wrapped up editing on this portrait of Rachel taken at her art opening.

frog boots!

2009-08-21T21:13:00.000-07:00

This one didn't come out perfect, but I still like it so I'm putting it up. Sasha putting on her new frog boots in the doorway of a diner we ate at the other day.

Welcome to my photo blog!

2009-08-21T19:45:00.000-07:00

I wanted a place to put up my latest photo edits so, here it is! I'm just going to start with my most recent----a thistle, taken near the train tracks outside Paradise.
