The past few nights have been so beautiful. It has been cold with a blanket of snow covering the ground. Each night a beautiful fog has rolled in just after 7pm. I have noticed how quiet it gets even in downtown. Last night I saw the chase building just as it was being enveloped in a thick fog and I had to take a photo. Enjoy!

It's one of those times of year when being trapped inside by the snow and ice makes me nostalgic for warmer days. Living in Oklahoma, I know that February marks the end of winter and those beautiful spring days wont be far behind. I have been taking a trip through my 2009 photo archive and came across some photos from a project that Reseth and I did early last year. 

People who know me know that I love to collaborate with other artist when I get the chance. Whether that be another photographer, a model or someone involved in another artistic discipline, I love working with creative people. I was lucky to work with Reseth for many reasons the least not being that she is a creative model but she is also an outstanding photographer. I had been contemplating a concept for a book for quite awhile and decided to try it. The story is slightly abstract and left to the imagination. I wanted the book to be like a fairy tale told through photos. Check out a preview of the book "The Dream" on Blurb. 

As a photographer it can be easy to get into a rut and put yourself into a box. Personal projects can give you the chance to get outside of the normal way of thinking about your photography and approach. I think it benefited me greatly to complete this project and produce a final product. I already have a couple of ideas for projects that I will be working on for 2010. I can't wait to share the process. In the meantime check out a few images from my 2009 book project.
