the man behind the lens

some of you are already familiar with eli's passion for photography. (this includes anyone who has made the mistake of letting him find out that you have a digital camera in your possession.) luckily, st. nick brought him his own starter camera for christmas this year, and he has been taking pictures pretty much non-stop. (i just erased around 100 pictures of the driver's seat of our pontiac bonneville as seen from the rear car seat where he has logged so many hours.)

here is a sampling of some of his more compelling work. subjects of his compositions include front range bison, self portraiture, architecture, and of course, airplanes, airplanes, airplanes...

Actually pictures #5 and 6 are pretty good! Good depth of field...nice angles...I'm seriously impressed! I'll make sure to bring my camera in March so he and I can compare notes. :)

I like picture #3. Those lips are his signature look.

P.S. I know I am infamous for copying your blog, but Mary has been taking tons of pics on a camera we gave her, and I was seriously about to do a post of her pictures.

if there's even a bison on there, i'm suing.

Where's the carpet by the breakfast food? That was my most memorable shot. I was considering getting it framed! Morgan is very jealous of Eli's camera! I think she'll be old enough next year!

i can only publish a very small cross section of eli's portfolio. his memory card at any given time has a few hundred pictures on it, and i'm constantly erasing it.
