Alias Eyes Photography: January 2011

This is who I am...

I currently live in Canada and am addicted to my camera. As a young girl I watched my father continuously snapping photos at every occasion, vacation, and everywhere in between. I never fully understood what he saw until I was given my latest camera from my husband and since then we have been inseparable. I have yet to find something I didn't like to photograph. I enjoy seeing the world through Alias Eyes and believe that everything out there is beautiful, you may just need to see it through... Alias Eyes.

My two photography loves are 'Art' (a very broad and flexible word) and Portraits, although they are quite different I believe they can both be full of emotions, expressions, stories, and creativity. I strive daily to see things differently, to imagine and capture ordinary objects and scenes into dreams worthy of canvas. I hope you enjoy the shots I've taken and find them as interesting and inspiring as I do.

I am learning everyday, I am experimenting everyday. Everyday I see things in a new light. If you are a regular on my site, you will see that the photos are constantly changing. I go through waves of inspiration. I love it, and hope you do too. Please feel free to leave comments in my guest book or directly with a photograph. Thank you!

Daffodils....

My sister loves Daffodils, and I love my sister.... so, I went out and bought some mini-baby daffodils to take their photos for her. She's been wanting a photo or two of Daffodils for a while now (maybe 3 years?), so I guess I better get on it!

Here is where I need the help.....
1- what shot is the best?
2- black and white, sepia, antique, colour or other?
3- any other cropping, or should I just throw out certain shots?

Thanks!!
(actually any advice is usually appreciated!!)

Christmas gifts put to good use!

Christmas is by far my most favourite Holiday EVER! And now that I have kids, it's even more special and exciting. This year we bought the boys snowboards. They loved the boards so much they asked to go out that morning! How can you say no to that? Here are a few photos of our day out! Enjoy!
