Sleeping Angels

Sleeping Angels

Sleeping Angels, photo by Harold Davis.

When Phyllis puts Katie Rose to bed, she sits holding our little angel. Often Phyllis falls asleep herself.

Like Katie Rose in Chiaroscuro, this is an extremely low light image. The only source of illumination was a night light in Katie’s little nursery. I boosted the sensitivity, handheld, and intentionally underexposed to create an area of illumination around my sleeping angels.

[Nikon D300, 18-200VR zoom lens at 32mm (48mm in 35mm terms), 1/8 of a second at f/4 and ISO 2,000, handheld.]

Emperor Julian, photo by Harold Davis.

In this photo Emperor Julian is shown with his brothers Indiana Skywalker (a/k/a the Alien Monster, on the right) and the deceptively innocent-looking Holy Terror (stage left).

Worth noting: In the grand tradition of Scarlett O’Hara and Carol Burnett, Phyllis fashioned the Emperor Julian’s toga from old curtains. The laurel wreath was likewise handcrafted using an old coat hanger and leaves from our garden.
