A rather interesting looking plant made the basis for today’s somewhat abstract creation. (And yes, it got some fairly heavy processing in Lightroom to really bring out the green and add some serious contrast.)

I have no idea who these people are and I don’t usually take photos of strangers, but when I was sitting at SLO Brew and I saw this absolutely amazing light, I knew it’d be a crime against photography to not capture it.

Shot of my current reading list. Just about done with WordPress: the Missing Manual. Then it’ll be on to Zack Arias’ Photography Q & A. Plus, there’s always an issue of Photoshop User Magazine around.

My friend, Brian (who’s got a great first name, BTW), came over this evening for a quick professional-style portrait shoot. This one here was a warm up shot, and while I don’t think it’ll serve for his intended purpose, it’s pretty fun and probably one of my favorites from the shoot. Just goes to show that zany can often work pretty well :-)

When in doubt, take a picture of something metal and rusty. Always a sure-fire winner.

Last year, I had the honor of shooting Lauren and Joe’s wedding. And now, I’ve got the honor of photographing their new daughter, Tiffany! She’s just under three weeks old and the shoot was very interesting. I’ve got very little experience photographing newborns, so it’s nice to have a friend’s to practice on :-D

I was at a kid’s birthday party today and ran into my friend Rick and his daughter Mary. Shooting children (oy, that’s a bad phrase when taken out of context) can be pretty tricky. They don’t hold still and often don’t want to look into the camera, but when it works out, it tends to be extra cute. Like when Mary here had a great smile for me!
