I had the plea­sure of tak­ing Kim and Ricky’s Engage­ment pho­tos this past Sun­day. We were ini­tial­ly going to roll to 2 spots: the first was the Japan­ese Tea Gar­den; and the sec­ond was Straw­ber­ry Hill. We actu­al­ly did­n’t get to go to Straw­ber­ry Hill as there were just tons of peo­ple vis­it­ing the Park. And there was nice weath­er to top it off.

Went Hunting for Halloween

Went Hunt­ing for Hal­loween, orig­i­nal­ly uploaded by stechico.

A quick get­up put togeth­er by rolling to the neigh­bor­hood Good­will store.

Safar­i/­ex­plor­er/hunter-look­ing type of hat… $2.
Kha­ki safar­i/­ex­plor­er/hunter-look­ing type of jack­et… $8.
Hal­loween on a Fri­day night… Price­less.

I did­n’t have enough time to find a wig, or fill in the side­burns. Would’ve added more to it if any. Any­ways, I hope every­one had a blast and got home safe. Good times!

PS. Here’s what I hunt­ed.

Transformation: Vivre-Réagir

· Comment

For the con­test “Trans­for­ma­tion: Vivre-Réa­gir“1, Julien Las­sort and Matthieu Bur­lot explored the human face, the most exposed and per­son­al part of the human body. Their dynam­ic por­tray­al of “1000 et une faces“2 is a mosa­ic of por­traits and emo­tions that plays off of the pow­er of faces seen close up. Julien Far­go com­posed the melody that encap­su­lates the film.
