The First Year

A photo essay of the life of a newborn

So we're well into my 12 month project with one of Morris Plains newest residents. The first year of life is truly amazing. The most changes, significant milestones and usually the most photographs and video footage taken in any single persons life. Once a month I'm visited by my little cutie and get to share in the many changes in her little life. Here are just a few photographs from her first 4 months.

This next picture was created using a small section of paint spattered jeans that were visible in the back of the picture and being worn by the baby's mother. It reminded me of Van Gogh's "Starry Night".

It's difficult to see the detail in this next image, but it was made into a painting using individual brush strokes and not just a filter in Photoshop. The closeup print looks amazing.
