Above: Victor of the Hound’s Haven Guild, looking quite contemplative (and not to mention, suave.)
I’ll be going to the San Luis Obispo Renaissance Faire tomorrow, so it seemed like today would be a good time for a little blast from the past, by showcasing some photos I took at last year’s.

Photo-a-Day: Year 6, Day 197 – Total Days: 2,023
Last week I had the great honor of photographing Lauren and Joe’s new daughter, Tiffany, which I did on location over at their place. But today was extra cool because Lauren and Tiffany came over to my place where I could use the studio for a shoot with them. I love getting to use my off-camera flash setup and to have a plain backdrop to work with.

But what do you really know about these shy aerobic creatures? Are they dangerous? What do they eat? How do you get rid of one that’s in your house?
As a runner myself, I think those of you that aren’t, might be well-served by reviewing this handy article about how to interact with us. ;-)

Photo-a-Day: Year 6, Day 196 – Total Days: 2,022
It was nice to wake up rather early and instead of going back to bed for a change, deciding to get up and go out for a quick photowalk. The morning was lovely! So calm, with birds singing, an incredibly comfortable temperature, and some lovely light striking the clouds.
And as an added bonus, I’m now done with today’s photo before 7:30 am! I think it’s time to reward myself with some breakfast and coffee.

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.
