A Moment Captured - A Family Portrait
A casual reader of this blog knows by know that I'm an avid amateur photographer. Not surprisingly, I'm far more comfortable behind the lens than in front of it. Cherie and I decided it was time for a family portrait. You can see the dilemna.
Fortunately, we know a great portrait photographer. Actually, I should say we're friends with a great portrait photographer because the magic of portrait photography isn't in the lighting or posing but in the rapport between photographer and subject. So we asked Jennifer Hogan to arrange a "sitting" and boy were we happy with the results. Between the facts that Jen is a talented artist and storyteller and that she knows all of us (and we feel quite comfortable with her), we just had a great late afternoon together on the wood chip path along San Franciscito Creek. She was also using a Hasselblad H1 with a Leaf back, which made it geeky photog fun for me. Thanks, Jen. We've never looked better.
