Hello Me ra!
Nicole told me you had posted this pic on your blog! I have to say that it turned out AMAZING! After reading your note of inspiration for the day, I have to say that I felt totally and completely inspired!! I love photography, always have…but more so always have loved the abstract visions of my own. I really never show them to anyone because no one understands my vision…maybe I’ll email you some of them!

After my total and complete fulfillment of inspiration I clicked the link “past like mine” and after I read that I was truly honored to have met you both for Nicole & Eddie’s wedding! Your story has so much heart, truth, and such a great message within it!

Thank you for not only capturing the beautiful moments between two of my very best friends…but also capturing some of the MOST beautiful moments of the sweetest little flower girl! I am so privileged to have her in my life and be able to call her my daughter.

So again thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Jenifer

i did it! been wanting to experiment with flare and i think i captured my little girl’s spirit of independence perfectly. let me know if you agree… the look i was going for is “sunwashed.”

Sorry, Mera – I see I typed to quickly and added an h to your name. I just wanted you to know I know your name is Mera without the “h”!! ~~~~

Hi Merah!
Quick question on your beautiful shot above (i love it!) – for shots like this, with huge amounts of light coming from the background, do you ever have problems on the printing side? Particularly where the silhouette of someone meets that light, do you ever get weird aberrations or lines? Is there a term for that? What do you do to fix it? Also, in the extreme highlights, such as in that window, when I have printed some of these types of shots, I get a flat portion with a different texture or look, if you will, from the rest of the picture that has substance to it. Any tips?
Thanks so much – I love your blog and love your work! photography@pearceprojects.com (ph:206.799.2539)

Mera,

Love this post! Allison…I can completely relate to your feelings. I swear I say the same exact thing all the time…and I mostly have other people answering for me when people ask me if I am a photographer..Love the quote Mera! So looking forward to Chicago in November…

i have been addicted to your blog for a couple of months now {i’m very new to the blogging world in general} … i’ve watched both the dvds and am patiently crossing off the days until your chicago workshop.

i love, love, love this post. i love that you are teaching that photography is more than pushing a button. you are teaching that there is something deep within us that we can capture on film … and you give us the tools and nudge to go out and do that.

thank you, thank you!

{as a p.s., i have the pleasure of knowing elizabeth (libby) cameron, julia’s sister. libby is also an artist (it totally runs in their family) and i’ve commissioned her to do some paintings of my family. libby’s recently become an apple fanatic and put together some fun imovies that are playing on youtube. here is a link to my family … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th4VR0JXW1I }
