Finally, 100 begins

It seems like it's been forever since I announced 100 and at times I wondered when I would ever begin shooting. That day was today.

This afternoon I had my first official shoot for the project and I was extremely happy with how it went. I was a little nervous when Trudy brought her daughters Brittany and Emily by the studio. I don't have much experience photographing children, so I didn't know how the shoot would go, especially since my intentions aren't to shoot "standard" portraits. Everything went very smoothly and I was able to get shots of both girls which I think will fit perfectly into the project.

Below are 2 fairly traditional, color portraits of each of the girls and after those are the b&w shots which fit my vision for 100. Be sure to post a comment and let me know what you think.

I'm trying to decide whether I should start a Flickr gallery for 100. I don't know if I want to "give away" all of the best shots as the series progresses. I think I'll have to save at least a few until the project is finished. :)
