delirium.

has set in...I have been working like mad crazy and I need to just go hit the hay...
but..just had to....
I mean c'mon, right?  is he not just a total cutie!

I would love to keep you blissfully in the dark...
mesmerized by my innate ability to draw out a natural reaction from my subjects...
..but sadly, no, this beautiful look had everything to do with his Dad throwing sticks at him...
LOL
my gosh! I can't express enough how much I LOVE it!

meet "the sheep"

I don't think "the sheep" has a name...
apparently you are not allowed to name a future lamb chop.
This is my niece Brooke Raven...
I am so partial, but really has a girl ever looked so cute in a little green clover hat...

c'mon.
nik

Cream colored ponies...

and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings...

These are a few of my favorite things...
nik

when the dog bites...
when the bee stings...

when I am feeling sad...
nik

nik

iheartfaces!

I love expressions...


I so enjoy the privilege of "seeing" behind the lens...


I guess some would describe what I do as
"lifestyle" photography...


I don't.
I think of myself as a digital portrait artist...
using my point of view to...
"show the inner essence"
of my subjects...

for me, it's all about the face...


in the words of Aristotle...
"the aim of Art is to present not
the outward appearance of things,
but their inner significance;
for this, not the external manner and detail,
constitutes true reality."
nik

welcome back...

why not welcome myself back after my 18 day hiatus? whoosh.
