Kaleidoscope
Kind of a busy background but I liked the effect......kind of a kaleidoscope view. ]]> 2010-08-27T00:15:41Z 2010-08-27T00:15:41+00:00 tag:www.mikeblanchard.com,2010-08-23:/194

Tolerant Jacqueline
We took Jacqueline and Sarah to dinner a while back. As we waited for our meal Jacqueline tolerates (barely) the ever present camera. Taken with a Canon G10 using flash and a slow shutter. ]]> 2010-07-13T04:49:12Z 2010-07-13T04:49:12+00:00 tag:www.mikeblanchard.com,2010-06-20:/188
Christina Charm
More holiday portraits of Christina. Some of these are outtakes, if you will, from my original editing session. Time, however, often reveals a new appreciation for some of the original cuts. Here I was a little disappointed that Christina's ribbon was clipped at the upper edge of the frame but with later viewing, Christina's charm made that issue seem very insignificant.
