This coming Saturday, I’ll be second shooting for a friend of mine (Rachel Garrison). It will be my first time second shooting, and my first time shooting a wedding professionally for people I don’t know. In the past, I’ve shot weddings for money, but they’ve all been family or friends. This will be a new […]

Hanna had a migraine all morning, and when she finally emerged from the bed, it was already close to the afternoon. Without a real plan, we decided to head to the observation deck at the airport. Watching planes take off and land is kind of a neat thing as an adult, but I really look […]

Just a bought a new lens, so here are just a few test shots I liked: Don’t really have too much else to say about it. Getting ready to shoot a wedding next Saturday, and trying to get some portrait sessions booked.

With summer comes annual rebates from Canon on lenses and DSLRs. This is a hard time of year for me, as lenses, bodies, and accessories that were before just out of reach become tantalizingly, if barely, possible. All of a sudden your lenses that served you well for thousands of shots aren’t good enough, or […]

Today I had a rare opportunity to get out of the house, by myself, without Isaac or Hanna. Nana was happy to watch Isaac, so I stole out of the house and took advantage of the good light. I’m not sure if it’s the week I’ve had, or the mood I was in today, but […]

Today we were out in Carrboro to make some arrangements with Isaac’s new weekend Nanny. After our brunch at Elmo’s, we were leaving the parking lot, when Hanna spotted this old car, beautifully restored. Usually I shoot these sorts of things in a much more decayed state, so it was nice to see a beautiful […]

As is probably the case with most first children, Isaac was heavily photographed through his first four or five months. Thereafter, there has been a steady decline in photos, even more so as I start to shoot more for other people. I have not stopped taking photos of him, however, and look for opportunities to […]

I don’t know why, but I find myself captivated by junk. I’ve noted it in this blog before–this blog, actually, is kind of my outlet for the non-people photos, aka, the photos of junk, and other urban, suburban, or rural decay. There is something that fascinates me–endlessy–about the things people discard and leave behind. It’s […]

Thanks to Trish Christie, our goddaughter’s mother (I think I’ve given them both shout-outs in previous blogs), I have had a train of steady photo work the last couple of weeks. I guess I can thank myself as well, for taking photos that people want, but it’s really gratifying to feel like things are finally […]

Apparently something wonky is going on with my web host–I can’t upload photos, and any of you who are reading this have probably noticed that the images are loading slowly, incompletely, or not at all. Hopefully things will get resolved sooner or later, but in the meantime, please excuse the weirdness. I do have a […]
