Homage to ‘Lost’

Just some recent captures that seem to be inspired by the TV series ‘ Lost ‘. I have watched every episode so far. The current season has been filled with unexpected plot twists and mysteries. In fact, it is probably the best since season 1.

At the beginning of the series, all of the characters start the story as passengers on an airliner. After crash landing on an island, the survivors band together to survive. When I converted the above image in my post processing software, I immediately thought of Lost. On account of its popularity among my circle of friends, and in pop culture discussions, I am sure I was influenced in the back of my mind. However, it was appropriate. There is a single airliner flying above a forest. There are no other reference points to civilization nearby, so this could be a view of their plane flying above their ultimate destination. The surreal infrared capture helps to tilt this towards a fictionalized version of reality.

Yes, that is my eye. It felt like an eye exam until I finally got the shot I wanted. Lost uses close ups of eyeballs as a transition point in many episodes. It brings you in, and places you in the perspective of the character that opens their eyes to a new situation.

Wedding pictures?

Considering I am trying to be a wedding photographer, I should put some examples of my work in that area. Well, here is a photo that is not from a wedding, per se, but is relevant to the subject. It is a shot that has been done numerous times. However, it was relatively new to me as I browsed many wedding photographer websites. You can see differing examples on the Internet from other photographers, but I had to try it for myself. The Bible passage seemed to fit, and the rings stayed just where I wanted them! I would give credit to the creative /mathematical/artistic mind that saw this first if I only knew…

All in all, this is just one photo in an entire collection of wedding pictures. Although the day is fleeting, these images have the opportunity to stand the test of time. Prior to delving into weddings, I heard a photographer say something profound about the craft. He said, wedding photography is the first heirloom for a new family. I never thought of it that way! It is for this reason that these are the first things people look for when leaving a burning home. It is one of the most important possessions they will have!
