Father Cyril Axelrod

First of all, I want to thank Heather of H3 for introducing me to a deaf-blind priest, Cyril Axelrod.  I wanted eagerly to take a portrait of him when I heard his presentation about his experienced life.  Meanwhile I was captured photos of Cyril, he looked so peaceful!  Here are the selected pictures that I share with you:

“Father Cyril Axelrod is an inspiration to humanity.”

Stroboscopic Photography

Two months ago, the title “Build a Freeze Frame Photo Rig” on the cover of Make magazine got my attention.  I grabbed and flipped pages to find its article.  It is about how to make a mechanical strobe with a toy motor and a disk paper that could capture multiple images on a single image – Stroboscopic Photography.  I thought to give it a go and see if I like it.  I made:

I was excited meanwhile I set up the black backdrop and lights afterward.  I tested taking photos:

Using the electronic flash is another technical method to make the stroboscope as well that I learned from my father.  My father is also the professional photographer and he is expert in lightning and flashing strobe.  Anyway, I took photos with electronic flashes:

I really like the electronic flash method because it captured nice sharpness images.  The mechanic with the strobe disk is still good resource though.  I can either use those methods for projects in the future.  Playing with stroboscopic photography inspired me to develop ideas for a portrait project….stay tuned!
