Standing on the Corner

This year I decide to focus on a couple different projects. This is the first of one of the projects. Throughout the year I will concentrate on these two projects so I can improve my photography. I know it is always more difficult to come up with ideas and composition when working in an unrelated field, and this can only increase and/or enhance my skills. While you will notice these are not clear focus, it was my intention. I wanted to do these at night without lights/flash and in motion. I am pretty pleased with the outcome and look forward to my next outing on this project.

Another Night of Headshots

A group of photographer friends got together to do the unthinkable. Take pictures of each other. Most photographers do not want to be in front of the camera. Being behind the camera is what we know and what we prefer. But, like most people in business, we needed a headshot. Whether it be for our website, facebook page, we needed it. So it only seemed fitting that we should start the new year with a new photo and a chance to hang out with friends with common interests and goals but most of all, taking pictures.

Head Shots!

I had the opportunity to take some head shots this week. I was pretty happy with them but, why wouldn't I be. I had a beautiful model. Working with Sara was a joy. She was relaxed in front of the camera, had a beautiful smile and she eagerly cooperated with my demands. Ha ha. Doing head shots is just a little different than all my other photos but definitely a fun thing to do.

Family Time is Fun Time

Take a family to a local park and all kinds of fun will break loose. When the family is having fun that is the time to bring out the camera. It's not about the poses and practiced expressions, it is about the fun and spontaneity that makes good picture making.

Where Eagles Fly

After my grandson's 5th birthday we stopped at Conowingo Dam to see the eagles. The kids had such a good time. The dam is a beautiful sight but those eagles. Unfortunately I did not have a long enough lens to capture these beautiful birds, but I got some of the kids!!

The cold weather did not keep the kids from wanting to play outside.

Homecoming!

Teens are so much fun!! I love homecoming but one thing I have learned is parents need to go. I know they do not want to hear that but, the kids are more comfortable when their parents are not around. Luckily for me I have photographed two of the girls prior to this wonderful event. Moms an dads want to be a part of this great day but that puts the teens on guard. It's not a bad thing but the pictures would be much better if the kids were more relaxed. This shoot was sooo much fun.

First Birthday

My granddaughter turned one this past week. We celebrated with a photo-shoot. She was amazing. There was also a birthday party with a smash cake and later a family photo-shoot. More pix will be coming soon.
