Photography

I've taken a lot of nice photographs that do not seem to fit in anywhere else.
More or less, art for arts sake.

Calendar Project

In my kitchen we have a "Faces of the Nations" fine art calendar by Susanne Childers which has been in there for quite some time. Well the house has grown tired of it and someone started drawing faces on the faces.
As such we've decided to remake the calendar with a bit of our flare. Beginning with March we have started taking photographs and remaking the prints at 20" x 30" to hang up in the kitchen.
Below are the final products as well as some nice concept pictures from the photoshoots.
