Hello Benoit-Zorro!
...or Zorben? (what do you think?)
My fav of them is "Abandoned"-spot on! Also quite like "Hero scape"and "Heritage".
I have a question: What is "Thinking of you". I can't figure it out. Also, for my taste, on "kid in a candy shop", the focus should be on the kid.Love the concept though.
To enter my site (all B&W) all you have to do is click on the address and it'll take you there.
Quite flattered that I'm your first...Lensbaby friend!

Beautiful work here Benoit. Cant wait to see what happens when you are unleashed with a LB at a wedding. Thinking of you looks like a ceiling fan... am I right? So far my ab fab out of the ones you have posted here are #1 & #8. ~ L

Hello Fragile!

You can call me how you want. And the honor is all mine BTW. ;o)

Thinking of you in a ceiling fan. One arm. I like the Pezz character. That's why I focused on it but yes. I thought about the kid of course. Where can I see a picture of you Tendai? ;o)

Cheers!

Ben.

ZorroII

Correct you are!

Thank you so much!

Cheers!

Ben.

ZorroII

Nothing to add! ;o)

Cheers!

the road scene is very inviting.-e

Zorroll, you are on a roll! Thank you for posting so many interesting images. The one that grabbed me was #10, the black and white of the street. Something about the way that the clear horizontal lines in the foreground contrasted with the vertical lines of the background appealed to me.

Thanks for posting.

Sam

see with the eyes of a child

Ha, Zorben!
A ceiling fan, of course...now I see it! Wicked!
Unfortunately for you, I have no photo of me....yet. No Lensbaby shot anyway. So you can picture me with long blond hair, big boobs and blue eyes if you want!
I can see that you're already addicted to your Lensbaby.You're learning quickly. Love the #1...and the 4260 Berry, is it from a Beau Dommage song?...(

Hey!

I come from a forum where all members have a portrait of them in the profile. That's why I was asking. I'll pass on the blue eyes, blond hair option if you don't mind. You probably have dark hair and dark skin.

Addicted is exactly it. Photography is an obsession for me in the first place.

It could be from a Beau Dommage song.

Thank you about your comment on my kids. Do you have some your self?

ZorroII

Those were taken last winter with the borrowed lensbabie. My very first experiences.

Your comments a greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Ben.

Some more great shots...I like your style. Abandoned is my fav. as I like all old buildings as well. There are alot around where I live, old homesteads but I need to go back with my lensebaby to capture them.

Gidgit

Ok, Ronoit.( just trying out new version.)
I do have dark hair but unfortunately not dark skin. I'm including a shot of me just for you, taken about 2 years ago. ...and no I have no kids....too busy roaming around the world for that.
BTW, my fav photos is the middle one. Love the angle on the last with the branch in the forefront....Like the first one too.
Bonne année...gros nez!

Ronoit?!?! 'not too sure about this one. ;o)

Well I was half right. Not a bad average. Just for me!? That is too much honor.
I’m totally flattered by this delightful portrait of a charming woman. Red suits you well.
Glode trekker! Lucky you. I love traveling but with kids it’s more compromising.

Thank you for your kind comments but especially, thank you for being by 1st lensbabies friend.

Happy New Year!

Here are some more pix!

Cheers!

Ben.

ZorroII

OH! I forgot!

Pareillement grandes dents!

ZorroII

Don't like Ronoit?...how about Benzor?
Ah! I had forgotten about the reply!
Yeah this one is for you...until I do a Lensbaby one that I like....and can scan it! Thanks for the compliment, red is my favorite color.
Lucky for globe trotting? ...well maybe a little bit but it's a matter of choices too! I don't have much material things or kids or husband but I love my life! I wouldn't change it for the world!
Hopefully I'll be posting some pix in early Jan.
Love #1, how did you do that? Is the last one a real woman or a mannequin? Is it taken from a mirror?

Beautiful work.

Beauties... all beauties...

"May the Focus be with you..."

Benzor?!?! Not too sure either. ;o)

You forgot? All the sudden, it has less impact but it still a lovely portrait.

#1 is simply incense burning

#3 is through a window.

'looking forward to more of your stuff.

Cheers!

Ben.

ZorroII

Don't like Benzor either? I thought that I could call you anything I wanted?...Benro then?
I said I forgot about the reply to "Bonne Année gros nez!".
I've printed some more wicked shots but not being able to scan them just yet. Soon, I hope....I've also done some more self-portraits. Can't wait to see how those turn out! In the mean time, you can always check my website.

Did I give you that much liberty? Benro?!?!....hum????? no.
Ok I see the missed reply. ;o)
SO what you are saying is that you shoot your lensbabies with film? That must be quite something to not being able to see what you are shooting right away. I mean with the unpredictable baby.

I did check your website of course. Many times. It looks great. Lots of travels. Cool stuff. Have you checked mine? www.benoitdesjardinsphoto.ca

Looking forward to some recent portraits of Halima.

ZorroII

A souffleur de verre in the old Montréal. I want to go back and shoot some more.

Cheers!

Ben.

Verre soufflé at Marché Bonsecours old Montréal.

Have a great day!

Love that first shot of the 3 glass workers. the sweet spot is right on, and that red is so intense. great fun! ~ L

Zornoit! You have a short memory. Check your message of Dec 26, #7 in this link.
Yes I do work in film, Tri-x with a Nikkon FM2. I then process the film and print the ones I want...like in the Dark Ages! In fact, I'm going to spend tomorrow in the dark room! I like digital for the immediacy of it and great for posting photos online but I don't quite like the printing part...and I'm not much of a computer buff. Thanks for the compliments. (on my site)
Didn't know you had a site but I will check it out.
Ok Zorben. (you seem to have liked that one. I just can't do like everyone else.)
Halima
P.S. The recent self-portraits will be in B&W of course.
