Howdy all,

My son Owen agreed to a photo shoot the other day, and here are a few of the best shots!

What an amazing subject and amazing series of portraits. Patrisha McLean has nothing on you!

Thanks for sharing with Gather's Best Writers and Artists. Now featured.

Fantastic.

Stunning because each one shows a unique and different side of your son.

David, Wow, those are really great shots. My favorite are the B&Ws, but the color shots are fantastic too. Excellent work! (what a cool kid you have!)

Thanks for sending me here Ann!
Ann Marcaida Aug 5, 2010, 12:05pm UTC
Few photographers render black and white skies as well as David.
Mike Ellwood Aug 5, 2010, 12:13pm UTC
Very good indeed - I trust you checked the train timetables before you set up the shoot.
Rose Hill Aug 5, 2010, 12:49pm UTC
Stunning photos! A fine model indeed and the photography is superb.
Thanks to Ann for sending me here:)

Great composition with the clouds and the highway and the boy. (Owen)

You've captured the spirit 'neath the covering in these images. Well done, David.

This is AMAZING.

Granny Janny Aug 6, 2010, 11:13am UTC
Oh my God! These are spectacular. Every one of them.
Mustafa Demiri Aug 6, 2010, 6:19pm UTC
What a good looking boy!... You are quite a brilliant photographer and a wonderful artist!


One question though.... What colour was the balloon?
Mustafa Demiri Aug 6, 2010, 6:21pm UTC
I am going to guess that it was green.
Ann Marcaida Aug 7, 2010, 2:30pm UTC
I'm guessing purple or red, both of which I think appear dark in B&W.
James T. Aug 6, 2010, 8:05pm UTC
Beautifully done...

:O)
Marilyn (PaintsOnSlate) S. Aug 8, 2010, 6:54am UTC
That was fantastic. I love your work and you have one really cute son!
David Sidwell Aug 8, 2010, 10:59pm UTC
Thanks everyone. The balloon was RED. I surely appreciate the comments!
Gale M. Aug 10, 2010, 7:09pm UTC
Of course it was red! Nice shots David. (Love the first one.)
Marilyn M. Aug 10, 2010, 10:42pm UTC
Wonderfully captured, David! I especially enjoyed the b&w photographs, but they were all very well done. Your son looks like quite a character! Thank you for sharing. ;)
Renda B. Aug 14, 2010, 3:15pm UTC
He looks so happy in the last one! I bet you guys had fun with these. I absolutely love the 2nd one.
Lisa "Queen Wombat" F. Aug 15, 2010, 5:09pm UTC
Wow, these are awesome! Thanks to Ann for the recommend.
Michelle L. Aug 15, 2010, 8:53pm UTC
Owen - nice job being the subject. David - Wow, fantastic photos, so expressive. Creative ideas for compostion.
Brad D. Aug 16, 2010, 7:56am UTC
Awesome - my favorites are #1,2 and 5
M. Bradley McCauley Aug 17, 2010, 2:23pm UTC
Love the contrast of the pictures. Like the way he warmed up to what was going on as the colors warmed up the photos. Well done.
Ratandeep Satwant Singh Sep 1, 2010, 4:36am UTC
Perfection personified!!!
Ryan Reid Sep 1, 2010, 8:52pm UTC
these are perfect! great work!
Orbus Argentum Nov 19, 2010, 4:22pm UTC
An excellent job with all of these.
You brought out the texture in the clouds nicely in #2
Love #3: maybe when he becomes a rock star he can have it for an album cover.
:~)
Linda K. Nov 24, 2010, 8:44pm UTC
Love it! Happy Thanksgiving, David!

Fantastic! Really enjoyable! It can be a challenge to photograph children, but Owen exhudes character! The balloon was inspired. Puts me in mind of a cd I recently bought by Mercy Me.
I do love Owens freckles. What a handsome fellow.
