Rene and Lisa - Married! - Naked Eye Photography by Owen Law

Hi Everyone, it's been a while since my last post but what a way to get back into the swing of things. I had the privilege of being a part of Rene and Lisa's wedding in April and it was amazing. They are such great couple and have such a strong and supportive family, it was a pleasure getting to know everyone. As you can see from the images below, the entire wedding party looked just amazing especially the bride and groom. After the ceremony we ventured downtown to Commerce Plaza where we got some fun and exciting shots, then off to the Edmonton Petroleum Club for the reception. The entire evening was such a blast, I've never seen such a great multimedia show at a wedding. Thank you for the honor of sharing your special day with you, the memories of the day will be with me forever.

Feel the Burn!

The guilt I feel every day as I watch my wife eat right and stay in shape is beginning to get to me. I mean up until now I had no problem playing spectator but with the beginnings of a tire starting to develop I think I had better take action before it is too late. I have been struggling with what program I should embark on, until now! Meet my new fitness instructor and mentor. Feel the Burn!

Playing with the LX3

I just love the look of a great contrasty (is that even a word) B&W image. I have been trying for quite some time to get the same look of film with my black and whites and to my surprise the images from my new LX3 right out of the camera were pretty close, on screen that is. The next test will be to see how they turn out in prints, fingers crossed. I was also very pleased with the colour shots, all shot in Jpeg with only cropping in post. I love my new walk around camera and can't wait for all this snow to melt so that I can go on some photo walks without having to bundle up so much. . .BRRRRR!

Naked Eye Photography by Owen Law

This is the first time I have posted a YouTube clip on my blog but I was just blown away by it and thought I would share. This is a stop animation short that was made up of many, many , MANY individual shots. I can't imagine how long this must have taken to not only shoot but to compose and put together for everyone to enjoy. It was originally posted on YouTube on January 19 and has already been viewed over a million times. Normally stop animation is done with non-human subjects - think Wallace and Gromitt but to attempt to do something like this with live subjects is just mind numbing.

4 Years Away From 18

I can't believe my oldest son just turned 14:( Well, not just, but not to long ago. It took me a week just to come to terms with the fact that he's not my baby anymore. I'm not ready for them all to grow up. I know they are and will continue to do so but just a few more years. . .please. Here are some shots of Blake enjoying some of Grandma's famous Bday cake. Slow down boy and stop being in such a hurry to grow up. What's next - driving lessons. . .YIKES!!

Dayton - Naked Eye Photography by Owen Law

Meet Dayton, the cutest 7 month old boy I know. He loves his Mommy and Daddy just about as much as all the great toys Santa left for him this year. Dayton was kind enough to show me his favorite, but that's our little secret. I had an awesome time meeting Dayton's parents and grandparents and can't wait till the next time I get to take some more pictures of such a natural child superstar - hopefully it will be a little warmer outside. See if you can tell what he is watching on TV in the first image by the reflection in his face. It was hard to tell who likes TV more - him or Dad!
