Wanders around the Downtown Eastside, Vancouver

This is a portrait of Ken and his lovely dog Amber who he got as a puppy. I was walking around the area of Carral street with my camera. I was in a whimsical mood, one of those days when you can slow down, look at the world, have a chat, take some photos. Something about the companionship of Ken and Amber struck me, so I asked if I could take his photograph. He agreed rather graciously and I took about 6 or 7 photographs. After the photographs I sat next to Ken and asked a little about him and his life.

He disclosed that he was in fact an addict, heroin I believe, although now he is on methadone and lives quietly these days.

He gave me a brief run down on the activities of the corner we were sitting at, "Everything can be bought for $10 he explained, this street based economy, flap of heroin $10. roch of crack cocaine $10.00, pack of black market cigarettes $10.00 and even a sexual act such as a BJ, $10.00.

I was amazed at how much was going on, but I could not see it, until it was explained to me. I thanked him and moved on with my walk.

ITS FAMILY PORTRAIT TIME

Its amazing how quickly time flies by, days, weeks, months. Often when we have a family we chronicle time by the growth of our children, their changes, one year she is only wearing dresses, next year only jeans will do. It is important to document these moments with a family portrait. Tiny babies very quickly become toddlers, and before you know it teenagers.

Portraits are a marker of time, and it is something that your children will treasure when they are adults, and that’s why it is important for mothers and fathers to be in the photos too.

So take a moment and remember the last time you all had your portrait taken together. It is a bit of effort to organize, but it is well worth the effort.

Contact Tallulah to discuss your family portrait.

DOLL SERIES/MARNI

DOLL SERIES/MERCEDES

I have been longing to add to my doll series for the last while. Today I decided to simplify the process and photograph on digital rather than film on my 4x5 view camera. These dolls are not meant to be scary or invoke images of demented dolls from horror films. My thinking is that at one time these dolls were loved and cherished and yet they often end up looking a bit the worse for wear and lying around in buckets of discarded toys. I approach these portraits as I would a person, trying to find some truth.

Portrait of Ann Mortifee

Last summer I was hired to take portraits of Ann Mortifee, Canadian singer and songwriter. She needed an author photograph for her book "In Love with the Mystery". We were listening to her hauntingly beautiful CD when this portrait was take. It was one of those times when the energy in the air was profound.

Portrait

This photograph is one of a series I took of the wonderful and charismatic Mitchell R McGuire in the studio. The first time I met Mitchell he made me laugh and I knew I wanted to photograph him.
