I've been teaching a bunch of cradle board classes around the area at a few of the Ojibwe reserves. I've taught 2 so far with 3 more scheduled this month. If you have not heard or seem these they are indigenous baby carrying device. I decide today that I'll try do a nice entry on them separately later this month.
We had a professional photographer come out and take some photos of us at work last week. I will be re working our website before the November, at least that's my goal. I also got some advice and tutelage on how to take some good photos of our work. Really good stuff to learn about and he took some really great photos. I hope you enjoy them.
Hey! It's great to see April on the blog. Andrea and I would like to see you with no facial hair. You'd look so cute. Ha!
ReplyDeletethanks for (th' future) cradleboard post... i'll be making ours soon, so looking forward to it... ~r
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos and something I've been thinking about recently. You said he gave some good tips, are you gonna share?
ReplyDeleteJulian, good lighting, and a properly adjusted camera. Use some good paper for the backdrop, or light box..white or I hear gray is easier to deal with than white. This has to do with the camera picking up the white color the right way the human eye sees it. There is a lot to it and I by no means can explain what I barely understand with any more detail than this. Talk to a local photographer in your area, or of coarse on line. Good luck.
