Photographing Teenagers

As of late, it seems that many of my photoshoots involve teenagers.  Perhaps this is because my business is primarily word of mouth and I have three teens myself.  While it is true that they can challenge the photographer by being awkward, embarrassed and sometimes just simply uncooperative, they can also be a lot of fun.

More than any other age group, what comes across really strongly when photographing teens is their sense of humour. Babies are beautiful and completely natural, young kids love to be silly, older people tend to be very posed, but the teens make me laugh.  As they grow from children into adults, their individuality shows through their humour...and it is a privilege to witness this transformation. 

The King's School 32nd Art Show 2011

I was delighted to once again be invited to exhibit some of my work at the King's School Art Show 2011.  I have chosen three landscape pieces, all of which have been printed on archival canvas.

Having just returned from a wonderful trip to New Zealand to visit friends, I feel compelled to share a few photos of the magnificent landscape....what a special place, and so few people...felt right at home....

Wedding Shoes and Smiles

Last month I was able to share in the joy that was my sister's wedding.  As I was part of the bridal party, I wasn't able to take wedding photographs, but I did manage a few snaps of her and her daughter (Ava) after the ceremony.  Having witnessed Ava in her mom's closet,  I had already warned my sister that she was going to be a shoe girl!  

Predictably unpredictable, the weather in Colorado in May kept us guessing.  It snowed heavily up until the day before the wedding, when the sun took over.  It was a perfect Spring Day for new beginnings...

Upcoming Castlecrag Fair, Indian PhotoArt and Blogs

Hi Friends,

I was recently contacted by a German tourist who had just returned to Germany after travelling through India. She had come across my artwork in India and was wanting to mention my Indian Photocards on her Blog.  For you German speakers, the link to her blog is:

 www.weltenbummlermag.de/postkarten 

Roughly translated, this means:

"There are some countries, where it is really hard to fine nice postcards for your friends & family at home. India is such a country. Most of the time you can't even find postcards at all or you have to bargain with streetsellers for cards, which even do not look nice. Recently I discovered the Art Decko collection. Emma Horne (head of the travel agency Himalayan River Runners) in coorperation with the australian photographer Pamela Pauline are producing the Art Decko Postcards, to help the above descripted problem. The attractive and unusual cards are a photo-art project, which is designed by Pamela Pauline inspired by her travel through India. The postcards are available at the travel agency Himalayan River Runners Adress: C-1, Basement, Community Centre, Safdarjung Development Area, New Delhi-110016), on melas and in small boutiques in Delhi. For more information about the availability contact Emma Horne directly. And visit the Site of Pamela Pauline to see more of her impressive work." 

If you are in Australia, these cards are available directly through me.  If you are out and about in Sydney on Sunday, the 5th of June 2011, drop by my stall at the Castlecrag Community Fair, Castlecrag.  My cards will be available as well as other artwork on canvas and information about my photography services.  

Hope to see you there!
