Dog Days

Some photos from an afternoon at the dog park, with my Zeus and my foster, Piper the boxer.

I love this little spot and I love being outside with the dogs. It's so humbling to enjoy the simple pleasures in life.

Back to Basics

Well, my website is in shambles, so I have resorted back to this blog, as I have a bit of my stuff here already.

Here are some new Zannah shots. Man I miss her.

this blog will be down soon

To make way for my new one :P

It's all on my website now, lindseymay.com

I will be building the same site that's up, but bigger and with a link to my blog (blog).

So, anyone who checks this, keep an eye out for my new site! And... THANKS!

gen's wedding

here is a little preview of the wedding. gen wanted some portraits that were a little grainy looking, so i used 400 ISO, to get that natural noise, rather than doing it in post production.

the wedding went really well. this is my first one, and it was quite the challenge, as it was a winter wedding. no sunlight and dark interiors. BUT, it was really quite fun. ashley helped me out by being a second shooter and all the shots turned out great.

on another note, i have taken in all my 4x5 negs to get developed. they were ready today, but i forgot. i will not have them scanned for awhile, as i don't have a proper scanner, but i will figure something out.

that's all for now...

happy new year.

4x5

This is a photo I took the other day, that has been reproduced on the 4×5. This is of Andrew, but I have also shot my entire family and my sisters friend, Chris, for this project. They are being developed tomorrow, so hopefully I will have them up soon. I didn’t have a light meter, just used my DSLR, so hopefully they turn out. I also don’t have a scanner, so I’ll have to track one down to use.





I am really excited to see what I get, and even more excited that I have all this gear for a few weeks. It really is a great treat. Having not shot anything I really love to shoot in a while (I love the challenge of lighting scenes), I really am beyond ecstatic.

That's all for now :P

Tested out an old flash today. Seems to work out pretty well. Here is what I came up with.

As for the website, still waiting for the domain to be released.. URGHHH!!!! This is really frustrating...

I HAVE ROIDS...

...Polaroids that is! And lots of 'em. It has been quite some time since scanning in some roids, so I thought it might be a good idea to get to it! 

A brief history of my roids:

I had been shooting my roids with a Polaroid camera my mum bought me for the car rally in grade 12. It wasn't a cool thing to have an instant camera back then, but in order to win the rally, we needed proof that we did these crazy things. I decided a Polaroid was the answer. 

It collected dust in my closet for years, until an obsession with the lost art surfaced, and I put some film in it. I used it for a year, or so, until someone spilled beer on it and it no longer worked. I had a brief stint with a friends camera while I was away in Calgary and Edmonton, then once again, was without. 

I had been looking for one in Ottawa for about 3 months, before that glorious day that I walked in the the CTC and saw it there. Glad I wanted a coffee that morning, otherwise I would have never gone into the store.

So, in celebration of my last two boxes of film, until I can afford to buy more online that is, I thought I would upload some of my favorite shots. They are from trips to New York, Calgary and Edmonton and some are just from home.

Enjoy.
