Skeleton Out of the Closet

Post Card Series. As a photographer of people I’m often asked to bring back an exciting, unusual, attention getting portrait. After all photographs are the most important element in the design/readership equation of publishing. If the photograph is strong in content, catches the viewers eye, causing an emotional reaction to it, they’re more likely to read the accompanying story.

Humor is one of the best emotional hooks to catch. Don’t we all enjoy a good laugh?

This research/teaching physician at the University of Colorado School of Medicine was really a good sport, don’t you agree? No research project was available to photograph, no class to teach ~ just an large empty lecture hall and one skeleton standing in the corner…

We’ve all seen what happens when dogs get wet. They shake. My friend Jodi recently sold her mobile dog grooming business but not before I’d photographed her at work. I could see this photograph in my minds eye as she washed the dog in the sink inside her mobile grooming trailer. I wasn’t disappointed and the camera was easy to dry off.

ABOUT My blog

I'm working hard this year to overcome my love / hate relationship with blogging. Over the years, I've looked at is as a difficult chore, a task that should be done on a regular basis.

 

Guess what? Not many posts produced.

 

Changing up my attitude in late 2022. Will post because I have stories to share. When writing about the amazing adventures and experiences from "back in the day", it's fun and often enlightening to relive those memories.

 

Posting about present day events and photo subjects allows for "real time' sharing of experiences.
