Born to Design Photography :: Photoplay

Photoplay of the Week

 

A time is likely coming when Photoplay will be bidding everyone a heartfelt "Aloha" as it slips into the sunset.

Not because I no longer enjoy the "play" aspect of photography – but because I have sensed a new calling for this work. One I will be very excited to share with you all when the time is right (and things are in the works and progressing nicely).

It's with those thoughts – and with anticipation of heading back to Molokai again for Photoshop for the Soul – that I submit a new reworking of an image from my inaugural 2009 visit.

I look very forward to sharing new images with you soon!

Aloha!

Todd

 

 

Photoplay of the Week

 

The Early Bird.

(I hate those guys)

 

OK, before anyone gets upset, that was a joke.

I'm just SO not a morning person (but oddly, I was up early enough to capture this). Love the whole being a "morning person" idea – it's just very much NOT how God has me wired.

And remember, the early bird may get the worm – but the second mouse gets the cheese!

 

Photoplay of the Week

 

I stepped outside a few weeks ago for some mundane chore and saw this.

The sky was exploding and beauty was absolutely raging all about me – and I had been completely oblivious to it.

Note to self:

"Dude, you gotta get out more."

I find it always helps dealing with Mondays when you can have a good hair day goin' on.

Can I get a witness?!

 

 

Photoplay of the Week

 

Sometimes five minutes of play yields a great reward.

Not merely to make a cast-off image into something well worth keeping, but it's true in life. A little play is good for the soul.

Give yourself permission to play today.

And if you're near an ocean – then all the better!

 

 

Have fun!

 

Photoplay of the Week

 

It's an old adage of photographers.

What's the best camera?

The one you have with you.

As I walked into the library with my son, I thought of this truth and became suddenly thankful for my amazing little iPhone – which on most days is my best camera...

"Fred, are they gone yet?"

"No Agnes, they're still here."

Well, I'm not coming out until they leave."

"I'll give them them my 'stare of death' Agnes, and scare them away."

"Did it work Fred – are they gone?"

"No dear, they just pulled out their cameras."

"Crap."
