Admission: I also have a lot of work to blog but when he laid down on the mattres and he looked at me and the light behind him was perfect and I have just been reading about this very moment (we can talk about that later) I just had to photograph it.
those long rainy afternoons in New Orleans when an hour isn’t just an hour – but a little piece of eternity dropped into your hands - and who knows what to do with it?”
Tennessee Williams
first emailed me about his proposal plan I was nervous. It was elaborate. An hour away from busy New Orleans at Oak Alley Plantation I was to disguise myself (as a tourist) and photograph his impromptu proposal to Lynn. We connived a pretty good plan. We discussed some more. We exchanged secret texts.
She said yes.
About 5 minutes into the shoot it hit me. They were so incredibly happy, so in the moment of something tremendous that I simply just had to keep shooting without saying or directing them to do anything. They couldn’t stop laughing and smiling.
Dorka these are amazing! It must be lovely to have a job where you’re constantly around people who are so happy!
These make me tear up for people I don’t know. It’s like a movie. Your work as a film maker really comes through in your shoots of couples and weddings. I love to watch it.
today. We are spending the last day of the year with very our good friends in Monterey. We had coffee on the beach. I am going to say it again. We had coffee on the beach. I am smiling, can you tell? I often find myself not in the best of moods on the last day of the year. New Years Day has always been a tricky one for me. But today we are where we meant to be. I hope its a good one for you too.
I can smell the salty air and feel the sand in my toes. These kiddos are so beautiful.
Ack. I love you guys so much.
I wish that I was walking with you.
I love these, they are sultry pics of a hamlet I wish I knew where. The fence, the peek-a-boo view through the foggy ravine…Beauty.
Thanks for showing these amazing wonders of nature. You can see what somebody else might not even notice. Walking in your shoes shows much more then just simply walking…it is a miracle what can you do Dorka with your camera. Thanks again.
Such beautiful photos Dorka – I’m so happy you got out for a walk! Can I come with you next time?
trina - Ha! I love it!
