I haven't been as consistent as I would like to have been on getting pics on here. I will do better, but enjoy the new post.

Saw these huge plants on my way to lunch. You would think I would have noticed them considering that they are as tall as I am. I call it "In the Jungle"

After the incident with security last week, I've began thinking that I need a more compact solution for my portraits, especially when I plan to shoot in and around monuments. I admit that my equipment was light weight considering what I like to use.

I had a shoot with Kelli today and we had a ball. My assistant really had my back, as I was kinda brain locked with poses. After the incident yesterday with security, I wondered if we would be able to shoot at the location I had picked. But in the middle of shooting a security guard came around and to my surprise, it was one that I knew. We made pleasantries and it was back to shooting. We got a lot of amazing shots and I got to try out a technique I picked up from David Hobby. It was a fun shoot! Here is one of my favorite shots from the session.

The photo of the day comes with some interesting lessons. The first lesson would be that with this hobby you have to be very flexible. Rigidness will not help you at all. So here's the story, I started a project for myself and the first, model and location was picked out. The location was scouted and ready to go. Well the day of the shoot was met with massive setbacks that caused us to have to reschedule. We picked a new date and was forced to rescheduled again. We finally got a date to stick and after some problems with traffic we made it the location.

While I was waiting on a coworker I noticed this lady. She was in her own world enjoying the weather like a lot of the people were today. I couldn't help admiring her outfit so I tried to take a pic. I guess she knew what I was doing and turned her head before I could take the pic...so I got this. It was a quick shot but I like how this came out (even if you can't she the entire outfit). I enjoy days like this where I can walk outside and enjoy the weather. So here is Lady in Waiting

Today I was treated to an awesome dinner of porkchops with apple slices, collard greens and corn bread. I also got a lesson in eating meat with a knife and fork. It was interesting but I ate my dinner rather slowly. I'm feeling the itis take over me as I type this so here is the pic lol

So sat I helped celebrate one of my best friends birthday and while I spent most of my time there trying to get some food it was really nice seeing her for the first time in years. I snapped this photo of some folks at the b-ball game while waiting for her and her friends to fish taking photos at the photo booth
