That is so cool & definitely getting a Stumble. Was the wind natural, or did you have a beautiful assistant gently puffing at it?

Lovely and beautifully framed.
Hope the site is coming along to your satisfaction and any news on big project?

Another beauty, Ryan. Now that you are so famous, I’m glad I’ve gotten your screensaver!!! Love the new site.

I posted a macro today and I’d love to get your expert opinion~be honest! Thanks.

Wow Ryan, that’s great! I love the way it’s framed. I can picture it hanging on someone’s wall!

Hey everyone, and thank you for the nice words!

Chris, unfortunately, no pretty assistant on this one! :] It was windy, I set up, waited patiently with me finger on the shutter, but in the end, hooked up a shutter release cable, layed on my belly to the right of the dandelion, and blew as I held the shutter with my camera in burst mode. I figured 5 frames a second I would hopefully get a usable one. :]

Hey Claire, and thank you. I wish i had more news I could give you about the upcoming project, but as of right now, its not 100% set in stone. It isn’t a really glamorous deal (not like a big magazine cover shoot or anything) but will be a several month full time thing. What I can say is that it will involve portrait work for 600+ doctors.

Ha! No, not anywhere NEAR famous Beckie!! And for my own sanity, let’s keep it that way. :] I’m flattered you use my screensaver. It really is thrilling when someone mentions that..

Hi Margaret, I can see it on a wall too, one of these days maybe I’ll have all three photos printed and matted like that. I wouldn’t mind putting this one up myself! :]

Hope you made some wishes… or does that only work with bd candles? Nice shots.

Toni // May 16, 2007 at 8:43 am

Beautiful picture. Love the idea about the frames too. There is so much beauty to simple things which we sometimes take for granted, like a weed for example.

Bridget // May 16, 2007 at 9:14 am

beautiful set of photos!

Alison // May 16, 2007 at 9:52 am

Lovely pic. It’s so funny there are lots of these near my house when I walk to work and I always want to pick one and do that!

Now I can do it from the confort of my own desk

Alison - why not? My daughter’s LOVE blowing the dandelions. In fact I usually join them. It is so much fun to watch them so happy and to see the pieces flying around (although, I can’t say I enjoy having dandelions all over my yard, but for now, whatever makes them happy!).

This is very clever & my favourite WW this week x x

Comedy Plus // May 16, 2007 at 3:25 pm

You are just so talented. I love your pictures, but especially your black and white photographs. Excellent!

Rory // May 16, 2007 at 3:46 pm

This is a beautiful series of pictures, Ryan. It’s lovely to see these because Beth has been discovering the (somewhat limited) excitement of blowing the seeds off dandelions.

Is the frame a cool image mock-up or have you actually mounted them like that?

Claire // May 16, 2007 at 7:04 pm

hmmm is it one of those charity nude calendars?

Bobbie // May 16, 2007 at 8:20 pm

What good pictures! Great photography
Happy WW!

Karen // May 16, 2007 at 9:45 pm

That is an awesome series! I love the middle photo the best. It’s too bad it is a weed because it really is pretty. Happy WW and have a great day!

lissa // May 17, 2007 at 9:33 am

Pretty! What won’t you do for a shot?

Claire // May 21, 2007 at 7:39 am

Just checking in on you, any more news on nude medical calendar?
