Praying Mantis, Yellow Gel Modeling Light

Praying Mantis, Yellow Gel Modeling Light, originally uploaded by SoLostAndFound / Bill Lindsay.

Eliza decided to do a photo project as well this year for the PTA art contest. She captured this praying mantis and then we set it up for a shot. We put some leaves in a bucket and then the mantis on those leaves. We set up one of the modeling lights from my studio set and then we played with the color gels. In the end she went with the more natural one. It is a good thing that the lens I picked up a few months ago has a vibration compensation since it was an extream close up and Eliza does not have the steadiest hand. I think that they came out pretty cool.

Thanks for looking.

Electra Girls Bikes

Electra Girls Bikes, originally uploaded by SoLostAndFound / Bill Lindsay.

I have mentioned in the past that I have a bit of a bike addiction. My girls are being well groomed to carry on the tradition. There is just something so cool about the smooth and efficiant form of a bike. They put out what you put into them. That is weather you build them or ride them. Here are some pics we took when the studio lights were set up in the garage.

My Townie 3

My Townie 3, originally uploaded by SoLostAndFound / Bill Lindsay.

OK, I love bikes, I can admit it. But is that so wrong? Really, of all the things to love, Bikes seems like a good thing. The simple but elegant machine that is also art. I really am sad that in the hard drive crash I lost the images of the wicked cool Electra Jeremy 3 that my brother bought off me. I had some cool images of it that I had not gotten around to posting. 

I still have an Electra Townie 8 that I bought with the idea of selling it, about a year ago. I found it cheap and thought I could make something off of it, but it is still in my garage. I miss my first Cannondale that I sold to help pay for my current one. I wish I could have kept it, just to hang it on the wall, and maybe to ride on occasion.

I can't just pass by the bike store and pick up a tube, I have to look at all the bikes. It is one of my favorite looks on flickr. I love to look at them, ride them, clean them, tune them, and more and more, shoot them.

I love bikes.

The Triplets. My Mother-In-Law got 5 new grandkids in less then 6 months when first the triplets were born and then our youngest daughter and a nephew was also born. It is great for them since they are all so close in age. I think that my youngest loves the visits just to see all the cousins. I really love the shot of them all together, I think that one came out really cute.

Thanks for looking.

Here are the next batch of siblings. The oldest is missing here since he could not come. I tried for something different here as well. If I can corner the oldest to get him to match,these will make a fun group to put up at their house. Maybe a full group for grandma?....

It is definitely different then what I grew up with. I had 2 cousins and an aunt and uncle. On my dads side it was a little more confusing. I know of some, but we really don't have much contact with them. But marriage into my wife's family, that is a big extended family. It is fun for my daughters and good to be a part of such a big thing.

A few months back I had the garage studio up and when the family came to visit, the kids wanted thier pictures taken. Not all at first, but it turned into that. I will post them by family. These brothers have a cute sister, but I did not get to shoot her here.
