A couple Sundays ago I had the honor of snapping a few portraits for my pal and wicked talented photographer Brie Cohen. You might recognize her from a number of my past photos I’ve shared on this blog. Brie honed her photography skills while serving as a photojournalist for the Albert Lea Tribune. Recently she decided to branch out on her own and has armed herself with a killer new Nikon camera. Check out her handy work on her website and say hi to her on Twitter.
My friends and I went to Lyndale Tap House last night to unwind and avoid the Halloween calamity around town. At some point during the night my pal DF got a hold of my camera and took a few snapshots. This is one of my favorites he captured and that’s not because my mug is in it. It’s because he recorded a great moment of joy between all of us. For me that’s why I love photographing. It’s a physical (or digital) record of a moment in your life that you otherwise might forget over time. Now if only I could remember what it was we were laughing about.
Rarely do I have the camera turned towards me but since I subject my friends and family to my incessant photographing, I suppose it’s okay to show my mug the lens every-now-and-then. Enjoy my face.
