February 2, 2011 New Blog

Hello Friends, Photography Lovers, and Web Surfers,

2011 is in full swing. I have been busy creating a new website and blog. Although the website is still under construction, the blog is in good enough shape to announce it to the world. So, world, please visit my new photography blog! I'd love to know what you think.

Happy days!

December 31, Happy New Year

Wow, a whole year over. I took many photos in 2010...18,727 with my fancy camera, 320 with my iPhone, and more with my little Canon and film camera. I did miss 17 days picture taking, which feels kind of disappointing until I remember how annoying it could be to take a shot at 10 p.m. just to take a shot. Which means the quality or subject matter of some of the photos makes me cringe--wouldn't it be better to only share work I am proud of? But, I did it, and it got me in the habits of looking for even more photos and carrying my camera everywhere. I am glad I have a capsule of memories of 2010, and I am glad the project is over. If anyone is stilling checking out this blog, I'd love to know what some of your fave photos are!

Since some of the images of the past year have made me cringe, and since I have realized how much I love portraits, my project for 2011 will be to make one or two portraits a month that I am proud to share with the public. At this point in time, to me that means finding new subjects, planning out lighting and styling, and testing out new techniques.

I would also like to put out more sets of lush images that describe events/tell brief stories, and I look forward to compiling those images a bit more than I have in 2010.

Until then...Thanks for visiting my blog! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! 2011 IS GONNA' ROCK!!!

December 30, Sitting

© Susannah Storch 2010

Well, we finally got ourselves a real snowstorm out here in Colorado. And no one loves snow as much as my best bud Chloe Storch. When I got home from work yesterday, she was acting pretty pathetic, wanting to get out to play in the white stuff. Not me--I needed a nap before dealing with the arctic temps. This is what I saw as my eye lids grew heavy: Chloe watching the snowflakes fall outside the window, and Harry trying to figure out what Chloe was up to. I am happy I at least had my iPhone handy to take the shot; getting out of bed surely would have disturbed them. After my nap, by the way, I did take Chloe out in the very cold weather to run free up and down the fairways of the golf course that is right near our house.

December 29, Walk

Two shots for the third to last day of the year--only two photos to go!

December 28, Toy

Chloe likes her new toy. Thanks family!

December 27, Snow

It snowed a little in Maryland, but not enough to keep me there a few extra days. Bummer!

December 25, Christmas

Merry Christmas to all! There is no place else I'd rather be!

December 24, Severn River

I've been enjoying my visit to Maryland. As always, it is great to see family, the water, and eat crab products! Here's my sister chilling by the Severn River.

December 23, Stache

December 22, St. Mary's Sunset

An old photo of a St. Mary's sunset. Pretty stuff!

December 21, Friendship

The holidays are in full swing, and I got to have lunch with one of my fave people and visit with one of my fave dogs! Yay! Ira is the biggest dog star that I personally know. Read about some of his adventures here.

December 20, Cat

I was hoping to take a fabulous shot of tonight's eclipse, but since I don't really have the proper gear for that, and since I don't really know if I will be up and wanting to take photos after 11 p.m., I figured I'd better shoot my pesky cat just in case. Another high ISO shot.

December 19, Arrow

When you live in Colorado, you head west for fun. The only time you head east is to hit up the airport, or else to drive to the East Coast. Except for me last Sunday. I took 119 across I-25 and 85 to do a little exploring. It is a different world out there, let me tell you. Flat, dry, nothing. I love it, except the smell.

December 18, Camel

Another holiday shot taken at a high ISO...this is a camel that my dad gave me and behind it is an paper ornament Rob made when he was little.

December 17, Flatirons

I stopped by Fairview High after going running with a girlfriend to snap this shot. We had 60 degree weather for a bit of last week, but it was snowy and cold on our run. Go us!

December 16, Strawberry

This is what was waiting for me at my door this afternoon, and it just so happens to be one of my favorite things! Thanks Sue and Bill!

December 15, Elevator

I find myself feeling slightly excited riding in an elevator...like I am on vacation at a hotel or something. Except this one is at work, and it smells like the elevator that I used to ride in on my way to the dentist's office.

December 14, Chauatauqua

© Susannah Storch 2010

Yesterday was another fine 60+ degree day in Boulder, Colorado, so I went to Chautauqua for a relaxing lunch time hike. I love Chautauqua, and am really excited to be getting married there next year! The arrow is pointing to the Chautauqua green, which will be the ceremony site.
