interior light plus

October 27, 2012 by Ardean Peters

the plus is a half-hearted attempt at street photography, of the guy sitting near the curb. i never know the best approach taking photos of homeless people. so i don’t. i guess i don’t want it to be thought that i’m exploiting them. i just always wonder why we avoid them in general. how easily we walk by. it was a rainy evening and no time but for a short walk to the subway – so just a couple more […]

light abounding

October 25, 2012 by Ardean Peters

cheesy, but i said it. the weather turned on over the lunch period and there was so much beautiful light that continued until the afternoon. if i keep this up, i really need to get a 24mm lens. using my 50mm on the xti is just too long. and I like using the smaller body and it’s much warmer too. xti + 50mm f1.4 + manual focus + sharpened for web only | Note: Please view the images in the […]

These girls (jacqui, tru) are my friends. Though we’ve never met. We share in common our love(s) for photography. That is what connected us. And in that it is so wonderful to look back over the years and see how we’ve (yes me too!) have grown. Actually, it’s the fact that I can look at them and see their growth, that I’m able to then see my growth. How we’ve struggled and wondered about our skill in photography; How we’ve […]

Petra | Toronto Portrait Photographer

August 13, 2012 by Ardean Peters

Who TOTALLY rocked it! I love her so much. Not only is she a beautiful model, she is awesomely, easy to work with! You know, one of those people you just ‘click’ with. We had so much fun, despite the deceptive heat on the beautifully overcast day it was. I was sweating buckets – but was having so much fun just having to click, click, click – knowing it was so EASY to capture beautiful images. Pj; You, me, a […]

Creativity | WORK-ing on it

July 22, 2012 by Ardean Peters

A fellow photographer, Kim Lovell | http://www.kimlovell.com, forwarded this article on “How to be creative – the short honest truth” to me. It is SO freaking true! Creative people don’t sit around daydreaming – without action! No, they DO SOMETHING, anything, to make something happen. To make something; create something new. To TRY and LEARN and GROW. You can’t do that looking at other people’s work. Thinking about what you would do. Naw, a true creative JUST DOES IT. Funny, […]
