i love it all

Monday, February 8, 2010 Aviation

I love to make believe. I love feeling inspiration, I love continued inspiration and allowing it to flow. I love feeling the life force behind just being a part of the inspired action I take. I love working at the airport, and I looove that I have opportunities to express creativity in an industry I adore. I love when my timing is perfect, and I love beautiful sunsets. I love twilight skies! I love how AWESOME the people I work with are. I love being so weird that photographing aeroplanes makes me feel exhilarated. I love knowing I’ve taken a beautiful photograph. I love feeling the natural flow of life. I love allowing, I love appreciating, I love basking, I love it allllllll!

Good time for the photographs that inspire such an outburst!

If you’ve been stalking me for some time, you may remember Balazs from one of my favourite photography moments ever.

Nicole Haley - I like your outburst. Keep 'em coming, please. Thank you. :P

Cindy - very cool vantage points... it's making me think how you did that! These are lovely as always Sean! (O:

s h e r r y - Oh wow, super cool! Especially love the last one with the blades whirring and the other plane whooshing away. It's awesome that you get to work at the airport and take photos at sunset!!!! (Too hilly in Coquitlam for any good sunset!)

Rose - Who-hoo! :D What an exhilarating post! Thank you [again] for the inspiration! Wonderful colors and so cool that you can actually shoot planes! :D

Carolyn Egerszegi - Great post! And how funny... did I ever tell you that my husband's name is Balazs? It really cracked me up to see his name on your blog.

Tuesday, February 2, 2010 A Usual Life | Portraiture

Sometimes I like to think I know better, and I really do know better but that doesn’t stop me. At all.

Victoria is a friend from… Victoria, over on the island. She loves to shop. LOVES to shop. She was wanting, not as much as shopping at Banana Republic, but she was wanting a few fresh photographs. Note the few, because we couldn’t wait to get back to Robson Street. I fear the photography part of the day got the short straw, but… such is life. Especially with a couple of friends who love to shop & taste great food.
So of course I wasn’t going to just stand-by and watch Victoria thoroughly enjoy destroying perfectly folded clothes all over the store to try on, and take home. I had to be a part of it, so I left with… I left with what I wanted & liked. Let me say this though, one of these days, I am going to learn and not take my camera stuff in my shoulder bag shopping with me. Seriously. Such a pain. Literally. Especially with my shopping habits, because there’s nothing short about a day shopping with me.

Michelle Kane - The one of her framed between the buildings is quite nice. Wish we could go shopping together. I'm sure we'd have a blast.

Deyla Huss Photography - Gorgeous Light!!!! Beautiful series as always, you got skillz!!!

Mike - I really like your color photos... Is there a "Sean Norman" action for my Photoshop to look like your photos? :) That blue tint look is awesome, matches your logo too.

Alexandra - Love them :)
