So the day has arrived. Time to get the cake out of the fridge and present it in all it’s glory 🙂 . A nice quiet party for the 4 of us. Oh, and the cake was quite good, if I say so myself. Even the birthday girl liked it. Success number 2!
It’s that time of year again, when my absolutely brilliant wife celebrates her 20th birthday. The rest, as she puts it, is just more years of experience :). This year, the boys and I, decided it would be good to make our own cake, instead of running to a store and getting one there. So I got Jamie Oliver on my iPhone and picked a cake that I know my lovely wife, Kasia, would love. A coffee and rum cake.
OK I’m not a baker, by any means, and after reading the list of ingredients, and the instructions… about 25 times, just to make sure I understand everything, I had eureka moment…. this baking stuff is like putting together an IKEA furniture. Just follow the instructions, and use the appropriate tools…. this is going to be easy. Ah famous last words, you might say…. Nope, not this time. It was actually quite easy. Everything just flowed as it should. Maybe we weren’t as efficient in the kitchen, as a proper cook/baker would be… and apart from some spills and a little flower fight (we’re men after all) all came out very similar to what the picture of the cake looked on the iPhone. Success!!!
The cake is chilling in the fridge right now, waiting for tonight festivities. Just hope it doesn’t taste like saw dust 🙂
Happy Birthday Love! Maybe you be 20 for ever!
This was a concept session, that I fit into a lifestyle photo session. I wanted to tell a story…. did it work? I think so, but you might have a different opinion. It was a cold day, windy and cloudy. Perfect setup for the grisly story of love, betrayal, and violence. I’m not going to explain it…. I’ll you, the viewer, fill in the words. Enjoy!
This is Artur. Artur is a vet by occupation, and photographer at heart. I’ve known Artur for quite some time, and we’ve became very good friends. When we have time we always go out on photo shoots together. One day he asked if I could do some portraits of him and his two pals, Gucio and Lala. I think he wanted to see how the images will turn out with my new Fuji X-Pro1. I was very happy to oblige. I think the Fuji did the job very well, but the main thing was that Artur liked the images. That’s the main thing… a satisfied client. Personally I don’t think, I would shoot these any differently with any other camera. Here are some of the images I like the most out of the session. Enjoy!
I had a chance to meet Danielle quite a while ago. We did some portraits for her website. Also I was honored to do a family photo session with her beautiful family. This time we met at Edmonton’s Whyte Ave, to try out some lenses. Here are some test shots from that meeting, done with then almost brand new Fuji X-Pro1. Enjoy!
Continuing from the previous lifestyle portrait photography session, here is another part of the walk. It was a beautiful day, and fall colors were spectacular. It was hard not to take a bad picture. Then again using my two favorite cameras, namely the Fuji X-Pro1 and the Sony NEX-7, makes taking images great fun. Not much can be said about this part of the walk, so please enjoy the images!
