Tressie gets ready...



From the wedding on Saturday. Mirrors are probably the best "found objects" in dressing room photography and it was fun to use this one to good advantage.

You just had to be there...


The last wedding of 2007 was SO special! Andy and Tressie are an amazing couple and it was such a privilege to be there to record the event. I will post more in coming days but this image is one that I'm simply thrilled to have captured. Tressie took to the dance floor with her grandfather and for a few minutes the room was in awe! At the end of the song the room fell silent and I'm pretty sure we all had to wipe our eyes. The expressions on the faces of the guests conveys just how special this moment in time was. I am so excited to go thru the rest of the images and put up a gallery. Check back soon!!
Peace

Gotta Love iTunes!!


Not only can I find almost every song that I can think of and buy it instantly, now I have become addicted to watching TV shows that I can download too! First it was Dexter and now it is Lou Grant (classic TV from my youth!) I have looked for DVD's of Lou Grant for years and they have never been available. Now thanks to iTunes I can watch the first 2 seasons. Wonderful!

Kayla in Seattle

Working in Seattle Washington was interesting. I had a great time and produced some pretty fun photographs for the seniors I was there to shoot. I had been told that late July is "foolproof" perfect summer weather. This sadly was not the case and it rained every day, most of the day. This image was captured in the rain but none-the-less the beautiful Kayla played along.

A little more snowy girl


Just one more post of my snowy little girl. I like looking at pictures of snow scenes SO much more than being out in the cold!

Wow, now we have snow!!


Been a pretty snow-free winter so when it finally came down it was fun for my daughter to go out and play! Mommy got her to stand under a pine branch while she shook it to produce the blizzard-look.

This brings back a good memory!!


I LOVE a good polish and this little place did a great job! OK. The pic is from late 2005 and I was on vacation in the Dells. It was a great trip and the only photo of yours truly! I hope to get in a vacation yet this winter. We will see I guess...meanwhile I'll just look at the caboose and think about that polish!!

Ahh, birthdays!

My buddy's son turned one year old a couple of days ago and the theme was...you guessed it...Curious George. Happy birthday Cailen!! And yes, he did make a mess out of the yellow hat cake!!

More from the archive


Have not shot much in recent days so I have been digging for some old images to work over in edit. Something about this image caught my fancy so I decided to go to work on it. I like the cross-processed film look lately so that is the main effect; I also gave it some "punch" and some softness of the skin. Lauren is a lovely model and I would love to work with her again.

New laptop

So I picked-up a "salvage" laptop from the insurance co. I work for a little over a week ago. It had taken a good bump to the lower right corner of the machine and had crushed the Dual Layer DVD burner/combo drive inside. We occaisonally have the opportunity to purchase damaged or recovered items through a blind-bid process and I have scored a few nice things before but this is the best deal yet! Total investment is under $200.00 including the replacement drive and an AC adapter that was not included in the salvage package!! 1.73GHz Centrio /1GB of RAM 14.1" widescreen. It's pretty darn nice and only needs a little glue on the bottom case where it has a small crack and I will be done with the repairs. It is a lot lighter than my other laptop and a lot faster too. Now I just need to calibrate the monitor sceen with my buddy's Gretag Macbeth Eye One and I will have a little portable editing station! Sweet!
