Finally Some Photos! (#15)

After what felt like eternity, I finally got out and captured some photos.  First I was able to get out and get some basic portraits for my good friend Tyler, then I grabbed some head shots of my sister-in-law Carissa.  In both shoots I tried out a few different lighting set-ups.  For Tyler's stuff we started outside with natural light and a reflector, then moved inside a dirty garage and set-up two strobes.

It was nice to push the shutter button a few times, I missed it.  Keep an eye on my Flickr for the final edits of both shoots.  Both Tyler and Carissa want to do another shoot, so I'll get on it and not let nearly as much time go by before the camera gets out!

Thanks for looking!

Mobile Update (#14)

Alright, trying out this mobile blogging deal. On my work days I struggle to find the motivation to write blogs, but I have a long commute which allows me time to think. So as I sit here in the passenger seat, I decided to blog.

I'm getting excited about the next couple of weeks. After taking a short hiatus from image capturing, a couple people have asked if I would do a photo shoot with them. I can't wait!

Now it's time to come up with a focus for the shoots...

Lucky (#13)

Well I missed a post last week, but there is no better way to recover than to jump right back on it. This last week was, um, productive. I was not selected for that job I applied for, I had a couple of really good conversations in which some things I needed to say got said and some things I needed to hear I heard.

Also, this last Saturday, Michelle and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary. Well, we actually celebrated for three days and nights at the beginning of the week sans baby! It was great to have a little "staycation" at home. I love my son, but it was nice to be alone with my wife. I think we both forgot how simple life was before a child. I'm sure those of you with more than one child are thinking, "I remember how simple life was with one child". Oh well, I guess that is the way of life. Always being challenged at whatever place you are on the path of life.

I have been really lucky(read blessed) in my life.

Hopefully there will be some fresh photos to post next week, there are a few chores that need to be taken care of next week, like a transmission replacement on a PT Cruiser. The photographic itch has been acting up.
