Las Vegas Portraits - Tori & Nick

No words necessary for this one. Enjoy.

I can definitely say that working with lighting slows down my regular pace of shooting. Fewer shots and more thoughts to get it right. However, I think that the end results are worth it. And it is sooo fun. Enjoy.

Portable lighting is my new passion. For the next week, I'll be sharing images I created last weekend with my new Profoto Acute 600b. The possibilities for creativity have once again expanded. I shot this series last Friday. Enjoy the ride.

Brother Todd

Brook Todd is in town. We've been hangin' out since Sunday when he helped me shoot a killer wedding in La Jolla. Today, we'll be tweakin' images and I'll have them up to show you soon.

I'm also getting ready for Russia. Thanks to all of you who sent your RangeFinder mags to me:)

Have a great day.

Memorial Day

America's fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for this cause, as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the battlefield unscathed. -Allen Boyd

Simple Acts

Here's an idea to ponder today, while you enjoy a beautiful, free, Sunday.

The ordinary acts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest. -Thomas More

Boyband Clones

Who stands out in this photo from 2002?

Joe Photo - Behind The Image #1

Finally, I decided to do a sort of "behind the music" feature every week or two on my Caffeinated Addict Blog called Behind The Image. I'll tell you about the inspiration and process behind creating the featured image and I'll try to help you take your creativity to the next level. Just log into the Caffeinated Addict for your weekend super dose of caffeine. Happy Friday! Have a great weekend of shooting:)

Thank you for your response to my request for Dec RangeFinder back issues. If anyone else can spare their copy, I'd like to have a few more as back ups.

Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts. -Henri Frederic Amiel
