Photo Tree

Yep, a photo tree, even with an explanation or a drawing to show my friends it wasn’t hard to see they were still confused.  Before anyone would start thinking I was crazy with my ideas I put a plan into action, on the weekend I went to seek for old wood left by the sea.  It wasn’t an easy task has I had to find a tree trunk with roots that could be stable enough and about four rustic log with an about 5 to 6 inch in diameter, everything had to fit in our 2 door Cavalier.  After searching for about an hour I had found all I needed and more to go forward with my Photo Tree project.

Where have I gotten the idea? Nowhere, a brainstorm of ideas to better display my work at the Chal-Baie Artisans Boutique was  initial reason of all this.  This project would’ve never came to life if it wasn’t for my wife for all her time getting the 4×6 ready, my dad for is chainsaw, my friend Daniel for his chainsaw skills and drill bits and Yves for his electric drill.  It’s now almost done, there’s a few things to tweak here and there but you will get the idea.

The perfect day

Last weekend I shoot Mikael and Melissa’s Wedding in Campbellton, what a great time I had shooting.  They were so cooperative and open minded with the ideas I shared with them, that always makes things easier.  I also have to mention Sylvain and Rémi who gave me a hand on several occasion holding up the reflector since it was a bright warm sunny day.  Melissa and Mikael, I wish you all the best and thanks again for this wonderful day.

Here’s a sneak peak of a few shots I’ve came across while downloading the few hundred shots taken on 12/09/2009.
