September 2009 News
|
Dear Friends,
The past several weeks have been spent mostly on the road shooting new work for my Thrills and Chills project, which is why I'm sending out my September newsletter a bit late. The talented Paul Sneyd at Panopticon Imaging just finished processing my film which I picked up yesterday. I find that looking through newly developed film for the first time feels like Christmas morning, and yesterday was no exception.
I am very fired up about these new images and look forward to sharing them with you in the coming months. For now, though, I included above another image from Dorney Park in PA that I took in July.
Although I'm itching to head to the darkroom with Paul to print these images, I wanted to take a few moments to share with you a few upcoming events taking place this weekend (see below).
I'm also writing to ask for your help. Next week I will be meeting with a graphic designer to begin work on developing a new identity and logo for Isa Leshko Photography. I've been asked to bring to this meeting a list of adjectives that describe my work. So, what words come to mind when you view my images? Please send me an e-mail and share them with me.
Thanks for reading! I look forward to hearing from you.
Warm Regards,
Isa
