Some recent School of Rock portraits.

Luca's new favorite toy.

A box.

They always say it's not the expensive toys that will keep your child amused, it's the everyday things around the house.

What's old is new again.

It's been a long time since I have shot a roll of film. About 1999 to be exact. Almost 10 years. It's hard to believe. I started to go through some of the old film and transparencies I have lying around the house. These are some of my new/old favorites. The first photo was one of a series on a taxi graveyard in Geauga County, Ohio. I don't remember the how or why of going out to the field but it was very cool. This was an old TMax negative.

The second photo is portrait of my two youngest sisters when they were about 8 or 9 years old. They are pictured on the roof of a Lakewood high rise and you can see the city of Cleveland in background. No explanation needed on this one.

The third photo is a frame from a black and white assignment shot during college. I was a newby in the photo world and I was so very proud of this image. Lots of sentimental value and memories in this frame.

Luca turns 6 months.

Usually any photos I shoot of my son Luca end up on his own special blog site - www.kenblaze.com/luca - and people other than family don't see how cute this kid is. He turned 6 months old this last weekend, and my wife Kristen and I set up a studio in the house to capture some portraits of him. This is one of my favorites from the day.

Busy weekend

I had a productive weekend. It was the busiest for me in a while. Shot Tara and Steve's wedding on Saturday, Meghan and Drew's enagagement photos on Sunday and Nick and Nate Bonvissuto's kid portraits on Monday morning. Tara and Steve will have a gallery up on my website in the next couple weeks. But here's some of my favorite stuff from the other two sessions.
