Family Portraits - The Uttkes

June 23, 2010 – 8:25 am

It’s coming up on almost three years since I last photographed the Uttkes.  Wow, how time flys! I remember Corbin was begging to toddle around and Carson was just a glimmer on the horizon.  But now, they’ve got one more on the way and Carson is the one getting his land legs. Shoot three to come in a few years I’m sure.

I grew up as a little brother so I can appreciate this kind of brotherly love.

Nice, Carson appears to be enjoying his view from the summit on the Peak of Dad.  I think he’s just happy he’s not getting tickled.

Emma and Paul’s JIHM Booth, Hay, it was a blast!

June 22, 2010 – 8:52 am

Really? I thought I was the only one.

Truly the goofiest people I’ve ever met.

Shiver me timbers, these are the closest thing to Pirates in a barn I’ve seen.

Go JIHM Booth!

Babies on the way!

Hahahahahahaha, The JIHM Booth folks.

Liars!

Really awkward prom portrait.

Behind the scenes. (She's really the sweetest person you've ever met I swear).

Behind the scenes… (Emma is one of the sweetest people I’ve met and photographed… I swear).

These guys get the award for willing to go the furthest for their photo. This is what it’s all about, a good laugh and all in the name of fun.

Emma and Paul, Thanks for all the laughs.

I just booked a wedding in 2025. I’m not looking forward to it.

Post snow series - Two pups looking for a permanent home

February 8, 2010 – 12:01 am

Walking down Thompson St. Andrew and I ran in to Yona. She’s currently fostering these two little rascals.  They really don’t have names since they haven’t been placed in a permanent home. They’re some mix of a terrier slash shepherd slash boxer, and they seem like they weigh about 40 LBS and I’m pretty sure you should take them both. They’re up for adoption and if you’re interested please let me know by getting in touch. Send me an email to SETH SHIMKONIS AT GMAIL DOT COM (written like that to avoid receiving spam).

It snowed. These are the people I met.

February 7, 2010 – 12:16 am

I’ll be posting some shots from people I met while roaming around Fishtown after our 26″ dumping of snow.  I met people looking for permanent homes for dogs they’re fostering, people tearing around on quads, and a few others too.  Here’s a starter, a pretty dusk shot.

The power of the Light

February 2, 2010 – 12:01 am

Keeping up with photos from the neighborhood and just shooting because it’s fun. I made this photograph on my iphone months back and I’ve been trying to get a decent shot with a better camera. Mission accomplished.

Industrial grit - the finale

February 1, 2010 – 12:01 am

What should I post next? These industrial photographs were all taken with in one hour. To get five good photographs in one hour and create a series isn’t easy. Especially, if they are all in the same room. These photographs were an exception, but it’s a good format for finding new things to shoot and creating some mini series’. Anyone have any ideas?

Industrial grit - hump day for this series

January 30, 2010 – 12:01 am

Symmetry is another element of composition which I love. I’d also add that I’m just a huge fan of great composition.  This one isn’t perfectly symmetric but really what is?

Four easy steps on how to get a wife

January 28, 2010 – 2:09 pm

Step one: If you’re a man of the hunting gathering type, this should be self explanatory. If not, follow the photograph steps below.

Step two: Show her a bit of love. While you can’t see the love inside the box pictured below, you know you can feel it.

Step three: Wait for the right time pop the question and make her yours.

Step four: Get married and celebrate that love! (hint: I like photographing weddings)

Ok, so maybe it’s not that easy. Trust me. I know. But this sequence of photos showing off a different “ring shot” is a small example of the way I like to shoot weddings. Fun and creative. And remember I can’t do it without you. So get married.

I love Fishtown

January 24, 2010 – 12:01 am

Home Sweet Home Baby!  This photo isn’t the front of  my house, but it is in my neighborhood and I love it.  It’s crazy here.  There is such a mix of people here.  And those people’s houses reflect who they are. Fishtown is mutli-generational where people’s entire families live here,  it’s hipster,  artsy,  dirty, old,  new, trendy,  scary and just perfect.  Walk around, come see for yourself.
