I am still shooting, just taking things slowly. I work for Chrysler and the place is on fire right now. I am looking forward to leaving the auto industry, hopefully under my own steam. The stress that comes from wondering if one will be laid off has caused me to be a little less than enthusiastic about setting up sessions. I'm finding it hard to ( Read more... )

I just looked out the window to get an idea what time and in which direction the sun is setting. Ideas for the setting sun have been rolling around in my head recently ( Read more... )

Looks like I will be working with the lovely Mel R. on Monday. Last time I shot with her, I believe, was maybe 8 or so years ago. She wants to recreate some of the work we did previously. Sadly she no longer does nudes but apparently she does the hell out of elegant still.

I updated the Culled Section of my website. I added 18 shoots to the site all but 3 of them are from 2007. Let me know whatcha think and if you find any mis-loads. Here are 2 old shots I believe from 2006. I used to work with both these two. Alexis is now working in the health profession and Kamal is half of a duo on a radio show, an actor, and ( Read more... )

Well, I am home with sprained and torn ligaments in my right foot. I can't bear any weight on it and the doctor has removed me from working until the 1st. Sigh....so I thought I would write something, hopefully intelligibly, before the pain medicine kicks in ( Read more... )

I am faced with a nagging dilemma; whether to post process my previous work with the new techniques I have learned during the past year (give them some pop) or just let the older shots stay as they are. I find myself very much wanting to solely work on the new sessions rather than to try to wade twice in that stream. Hell, nothing wrong with ( Read more... )

Hey, if you read my journal and have LightRoom you definitely need to know about this. If you upgraded to LightRoom 1.4 get that sucker off your computer right away. Some bugs got through in the update that will mess up your RAW and JPG files and EXIF data. If you converted anything in LightRoom 1.4 to DNG god help you, you'll need to use another ( Read more... )

Now where was I...oh yeah, after I worked with Palegothgoddess at Lew's Pontiac shoot-out, I went back in the building to see who might be available. While there I ran into a photographer who I took a color photography course with a year or so earlier. We caught up on who was shooting what now from our class and the like. It was nice to see her as she was always ( Read more... )

Shoot I mentioned below that I ended up having to cancel because I had not heard from the model is back on. Turns out she never received the email that I sent her with the ideas for the shoot; so she thought something came up. Shrug. We may be working together next week ( Read more... )
