A Little Bit Nerdy

So, more about the tricks your eyes/brain play on you. Below is a classic example of how difficult it is for the human eye to discern color and tone. The eye is very well equipped to notice differences, but not absolutes. Squares A and B seem to be vastly different shades, but as you can see in the second image, they are exactly the same tone. B seems lighter because it is surrounded by darker squares, and vise versa for square A. Here is a link to the "explanation" by the scientist at MIT, Edward H. Adelson, who created the figure. I say "explanation" because I need the explanation explained to me. This is why I love photography!

How cute is Ella?

I'm actually quite lucky to photograph some of the cutest kids around. It is also quite an honor to photograph the children of couples whose weddings I photographed. It is so much fun to watch the transition from bride and groom to parent. I photographed Robyn and Casey's wedding a few years ago. Here are a few recent images of Ella. Also, the great outfit is from The Lillipad. Amazingly cute clothes! You might even recognize some of the images on the website.
