Finally Flickr

Posted in Photography on February 7, 2010 by Lucas Dorward

So I’ve finally started uploading my images to Flickr.com. Its certainly a much more user friendly site to use rather than Virb.com so I will be able to update more often. Man, I’m such a newbie to all this website stuff.

So you should go to the photo set titled “Long Ago” to view the latest series from Liz and I. Had so much fun wandering around the beautiful Arroyo Verde Park in Ventura. Got some great shots.

Frilly Ghosts

So yet again, another victory with an impromptu photo shoot in the later hours of the evening. All we needed was a secret spot, a view of part of the city, moving cars and a strategically precise setting input into the camera, and ska’doosh…   great pictures. One of these days I should actually learn what the heck Liz is even doing with the camera during the setup so I can know what is going on.

The Heinn Specialty Co…

…is the maker of a wonderful photo album I came across in an antique mall that was going out of business. I can’t seem to figure out when it was made based on the font used on the cover or the design of it.  And the pictures inside it (very few in fact) don’t really scream out any one decade either.  I absolutely love the stains and filth that have accumulated over the years. That appearance almost always shows an object’s history and makes me wonder whose hands have held it, or who it is in the pictures.  All I really know is that some pictures are from Illinois and some are from Ontario, CA and who made the album itself. It’s got some great photos of old houses, kids, and random structures, and then a little handful of some, what now look like, very minimalist nature shots.  I’ll be able to use these in something for sure. Anyway, great find. I’ll be filling the rest of the album with photos of my own.

Photoshoot!

The title is exclaimed because that is pretty much what has entered my mind when the perfect moment for some photo taking has occurred.  I’ve been spending time with the beautiful and talented Elizabeth Estrada with her wonderful trusty Canon. Our adventures together have allowed us to experience running about rooftops, exploring many no trespassing areas, eating straight from the strawberry fields, picking wild walnut trees, staring down evil cows, narrowly escaping large spiders, building robots, finding an unnecessary obsession with rubber stamps, finding and wearing cool jackets, discovering great unknown locations in our own city, and finding out that Tab tastes just like Pepsi. Through all of this, many great photos have happened. Be sure to go to virb.com/bench to check out the newly posted photos.
