An Eye For Detail

Have you an eye for detail?

This image, by the way, was totally unpromted by me. In fact I was warned by Dan & Meg, and I quote, “Dan is a whore and happy to be shot anywhere, anytime. His best man is also a whore, actually he’s a bigger whore and goofier.” I was happy to know upfront that I was dealing with people who LOVE to be photographed!

Anyway, the point is! Yes I have a point! Shoot what is happening! Photograph what you see.

It could be a detail.

Or a gentle moment.

Either way, it all helps to complete the story. And on a day like this, there is much to be remembered!

Hottie Parents Night Out (or Barker Family Part III)

I have a confession to make. Mel was my roommate in college. It’s pretty obvious why I picked her; she’s beautiful! Yes, I am very superficial. Unfortunately she is in love with Andy, and not me. I used to sing to her and everything! But try as I might she still fell for Andy, and together they have created a beautiful life.

So we left their sweet children with grandma and went out to play! These pictures were taken by Lake Norman in North Carolina.

Blue week VFXY

Ever heard of VFXY? imagine hovering over 1000’s of photo blogs from 6000 feet high in a helicopter, and you can swoop down and take a look at any photo that interests you! This week’s theme is blue, and I’ve recently recognized BLUE as a big theme in my work.

November Evening wedding

So it’s been a while since I’ve discussed a picture, and I thought this would be a good one to talk about. I shot this image at a recent November wedding with it’s bride only counterpart. I enjoyed creating this image in an empty lot next to Christina’s (the bride’s) parent’s home where she prepared for the wedding. The enjoyment came from being able to create mood and style easily in the early evening that comes in November. The frame above was made at 5:03:22PM between the ceremony and reception. The early sunset gave me the chance to control the lighting in the image by using my strobes instead of relying on the mood of the natural light.
