Things I Know For Sure December 18, 2009
Posted by Emily in : My Handsome Husband, New York, Photography, Thoughts, Utah , 4commentsThree things I know for sure:
1. David will be home this weekend.
2. We will be in Utah until the end of February 2010. (Possibly/hopefully longer, but since we are not the kind of people who know where we are going to be in a week, much less a month, this feels like we have our WHOLE future planned.)
3. I have never felt so accomplished in my short photography career as I did last night.
One of my professors at AAU compared my shooting style with the likes of Michael Kenna.
Ahem.
MICHAEL KENNA. AS IN MY FAVORITE FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHER.
I guess that makes me a “Kennabee” (a term coined for photographers who try to emulate Michael Kenna’s work) and I’m totally fine with that.
I know my work is a long shot from his amazing work, and I’m sure he wouldn’t be super flattered to be compared to me, but it still made my night.
I’m still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor after that comparison.
These three images spurred the Michael Kenna comment:
(Timpanogos Temple in American Fork)
(Marina in Palmyra, New York)
(Canadian skyline at Niagara Falls, New York)
This last image of the Dubai skyline is one of Michael Kenna’s.
Check out his site. His work is fantastic.
One more thing I know for sure . . .
I have some seriously cute footage of Hannah singing and dancing at our family Christmas party from earlier this week and as soon as I remember how to load video clips, I’ll post it.
Oh. My. Heck. It is SO DARLING. And I’m not just saying that because I’m her mom. (Well, maybe I am . . .)
