Petrie


I took this photo of my friend Patricia about three years ago. A lot has changed for her since then. She is now a wife to my friend Jonathan and a Mom to a very cute little baby boy named Josiah.

Patricia’s nick name from college was Petrie (pronounced peetrie). Named after the little pterodactyl from The Land Before Time animated movie series. Patricia played basketball for Southeastern University and because of her petite size, she acquired the nick name.

For this photo, I was standing on a bench and had Patricia sit in the grass behind it.

Again an unusual portrait figure. I like your people shots!

Kimberley said...

Great shot! The jeans have such a great contrast with the grass!

Patty said...

I like how there's grass filling the entire frame, how her white shirt really pops against the rich darker shades, and the direction she's looking in. good description of her. Our cousin's dog was named, Petrie. One of my aunt's names is, Patrice(not sure if that's a nickname or what).

Most people assume my real name is Patricia, but it's not. It's just, Patty. My mom named me after a super nice medical technician that she studied under.

Very cool portrait, man. Well done.
The angle and the solid grass background make it work big time. Good stuff!

I like your photos, they look like art, not stiff like some pictures.

Thanks for looking at my blog.

In French we use to say: "tout ce qui est petit est joli".

So: all which is small is pretty.
Your friend Petrie is very pretty instead the fact that she is not very tall.
