Close but no bouquet

Every now and then I take a photograph that tickles my fancy for whatever reason. In this one I love the hands of the lady in black in the second photo. She is grasping at the bouquet and coming up with a hand full of petals. It just goes to show that these are moments that we are capturing, it is easy to get caught up in the lighting and technicalities of photography but there is something to be said by just capturing a moment in time that will never happen again.

AUGUST PHOTO OF THE MONTH


This photo of the month was taken at Hawk Mountain in Kempton PA. 

Between August 15th and December 15 is the 72nd annual Hawkwatch. From the North lookout you can spy some of the first migrants which include Bald Eagles, Kestrels and Osprey. (although on this day all we saw were turkey vultures)

June Photo of the Month


This month I am cheating. HA HA HA! This image is a 2 page spread for an album I’m currently working on. By themselves they are compelling images but together they tell a story. This Diptych is what my ambition for the studios direction is all about, not the dark moodiness, even though I love dark and moody,  but it’s having the sum be greater than it’s parts.

This is much like the wedding itself, to quote the mastercard commercial: Dress $600, Food $30 per plate, Centerpieces $50, The perfect wedding priceless. Any element (or picture) on its own can be amazing but to have a synergy between all the elements, to get them working together for the whole that is priceless.  
Check out the portfolio section of www.mcnettimages.com to see the rest of the album. I will be posting it as it develops.

Photo of the Month




Here is May 2008′s photo of the month,(& I didn’t take it.)

Through the miracle of sonar I am pleased to introduce the first pictures of Ben and Billie’s child. As tempted as I am to put he/she in the album, I think I will have to fly down for a shoot when better lighting is available.
