Welcome to 52Photos, a year in images 2011. 52Photos started in January of 2010 as an effort to capture 2010, one week at a time, through the eye of a camera lens. I've enjoyed the process immensely, and have been thankful for all the amazing feedback I've gotten as a response to my images, stories, and thoughts throughout the year. I'll be continuing with the blog through 2011 with a slightly new look, but still providing 52 images and some thoughts to go along with them. Technical to abstract, social commentary and just plain fun, you'll find a mix of topics, variety of images, and hopefully, something you will enjoy following along. I've had a number of people ask "where can I buy a print??". The answer is an easy one... select images are available by clicking here. Of course you can just send me a message too, I'd love to hear from ya!

Getting Taken Care Of...

Week 13


Getting Taken Care Of
April 1, 2010

I had the pleasure of connecting with Christina Christner through a mutual friend who thought our respective businesses might benefit from our getting a chance to meet and network. Christina is the owner-proprietor of Christina Christner Nail Care & Spa, were she provides a wide range of services, therapeutic to luxurious for her loyal and well taken care of clients. From massage to make-up, and facials to waxing and more, Christina does it all. She loves the work she does, and it shows through her business and how she treats her clients.

I came in to shoot her business, and see if we could get some solid images for her to use in her next collateral and web updates. I have to say, this was one of the best shoots I've had in some time. The weather cooperated and gave us tremendous light, the Victorian home that houses the Spa has big, open windows and high ceilings, and Christina's decor is simple, elegant, and easy to photograph.

The photo above, taken with a Canon 16-35mm 2.8L series wide-angle lens portrays Christina applying her artistry to one of the two models she brought in for the shoot. I love the angle, the lighting, and motion in the image, and so for this, I selected it among many fantastic shots from the day for this week's 52Photos installment.

Here's to doing what you love.
