Hey Kids. Guess what? Real photos!

My friend Jenny, who is awesome, is the social media specialist for Boston University. She has been featured in a few little articles across the internet about schools with such things, and is generally an awesome person. [I said it above, it bears repeating. Know who I could spend all my time with? Jenny Mackintosh] Anyway, the Washington Post recently talked to her about her job, and asked her for a head shot. Enter me! We did a shoot, and got what we both think are some great photos out of it. It helps that she's so damn pretty. This was my first real shoot of this nature with anyone, and I feel happy about it.

And now I'm sharing these photos with y'all. Hope you enjoy.

It was one of those awesome moments where I remember "wow. I CAN do this. Awesome!"

I'm in the development process of a photo project that will be incredibly difficult, and draining, but has extreme potential. I look forward to trying to make it a reality.

I've almost finished the wedding photos for i_f_f

I'm still shooting at least one roll of film a week.

And I am still, Todd H. Page.

How are you, anyway?

My friend Katie P lives in the area, and so occasionally we get together and shoot.

The other night we hung out by a beach called Nantasket at night. It was dark, and nice, and we almost got arrested. Here are some of the results. I'm really happy with them, actually.




( 3 more. I really like them. )

This is what I had done when I had misinterpreted the assignment. I don't want to go into it, really. I was way off. So, the basic detail is: this is a portrait of a person without them in the photo.

Day 3 in Chicago. Today Lewis' conference really began, so I tagged along and wandered the various exhibits. Let me tell you. There are a LOT of them. I've officially been through them many times, but it took a long time. It was really interesting for a "civilian", if you will, to see all the many technologies, and indie publishers for books. And given the nature of the conference, some of the ones I saw there surprised me. [Wizards of the Coast strike anyone as library material?] I also collected a plethora of free, often signed books, along with other random tools of various device. Got to see George Watsky do a reading as well... he's a pretty awesome slam poet that I've seen before at PC. I pretty much spent the day maneuvering stacks. Had a great time too. WHOA forgot stuff. We arrived back and tried Lou Malnati's pizza, which we both decided does not compare to giordano's. Then got into a reception at the EDIT: Art Institute of Chicago. Which was beautiful, and I got to see alot of artwork I'd heard of but never seen in person. The famous seurat, of course, and many others. It was a great experience. I'll need to re-visit it sometime.

One of the booths was giving away free beer. This is the best booth give-a-way, ever.

Home for the 4th Weekend.

My favorite holiday.

My sister is obsessed with fireworks and got some huge ones on her way home... which we promptly lit off in my back yard.

Happy Father's Day.

I missed some days. Right now, I'm over it. I'll get back in the groove again soon. Nothing happened, I've just been taking a pressure break or something. Either way, I'll stop skipping days, and in the meantime will upload the ones/sets I have from the mid-time.

This past month [from the day of post, has been spotty in terms of my mission of a photo a day. However, I'm refocusing, and getting back in the groove.

At least I'm being honest.

Met up with Juli, Shannon, and Twon at Boston Beer Works.

Delish, and an all-around good time!

Also, my flash came out again.

I honestly don't know how I would get through anything without these two people.
