TTV of Rogers Park

In the last post I said I was going to take off and go shooting at the beach. Well, here are a few photos of that day. The technique I used to create these photos is called TTV--through the viewfinder. I used my digital camera and shot through another camera. It has such a dreamy quality. I've been using it on portraits and flower photos. This is the first time I used it at the beach.
The location is in Rogers Park, Chicago and only 3 blocks from my house. One of my favorite things to do is take beach chairs with Louis and sit on the pier (with a mimosa!). It really lifts my soul to listen to the waves and feel the breeze off the lake. LOVE IT!
Enjoy my view.

Headshot For Opera Singer

Olga just picked up her discs to take to the printer to get her headshots printed. She was thrilled with the outcome so I thought I'd share her photos.

It's important to have both color AND black & whites to show these days.


I also shot one for myself I'd like to share. It's a profile and not useful for Olga's headshots but after she saw it she has decided to use it for business cards. I find it to be stunning (if I do say so myself) and am very happy with the outcome.



Okay, it's Friday and a beautiful day here in Chicago. I've decided after posting this I'm going to the lake to take a few shots.

Enjoy & peace,
Juana
