Train Movement

This was an exercise in capturing movement. I tried to time it so that the train was between cars so that you could see the movement in the shot.

Yet another sunset

I suppose if you look back through the past 2 years that I've been blogging that you would find a lot of pictures of sunsets. I think it's the rich color that comes from the light hitting so much atmosphere that intrigues me. I'll continue to take pictures of sunsets (actually took another one tonight at an engagement session) because they make me happy. Over the past two years I have been developing my "style" and I keep coming back to dramatic sunset photos. Maybe that's how a style is created and developed, by taking pictures of things that make you happy. Here's a shot that made me happy yesterday.

A man and his bride out for an evening stroll

This is not terribly in focus because my dog was pulling on the leash at the time of this shot, but not every shot needs to be in focus in order to tell the story. I think there's a neat story here, and I liked how I was able to compose this shot.

Nose to nose

The sunset provided a nice backdrop for some silhouette shots of the couple this past weekend.

Broken Achilles

My bride broke her achilles a couple days ago. This was one way that she found to keep her foot elevated.

Running The Curve

I was laying down in dress pants for this shot, but it was worth it.

Daddy Daughter Dance

There are many aspects to capturing the wedding day that I truely enjoy, and one of my favorite moments is the Daddy Daughter dance.  I take pictures that I would want to have, and this is a shot that I want to have when my daughter gets married.  I used to dance with my daughter when she was a baby and imagine what it would be like on her wedding day.  No matter how many weddings I shoot, this part of the day seems to bring a tear to my eye and a smile to my face.  This shot made me smile tonight.

Capturing Genuine Smiles

You can't fake this kind of genuine smile and it makes me smile when I am able to capture it. This is a simple shot from yesterday's wedding that I really enjoyed.

Bus Stop Cheerleading

Here's my little survivor jumping at the bus stop yesterday.

Track Rules

Sign that needs no words

This sign is well designed. I can see it from a distance and I know
immediately what it is.

Just In Shades

Justin was kind enough to pose for this portrait yesterday. Notice my daughter in the reflection of the glasses. Somehow you can't see me in the reflection.

HOPE

In the fight against breast cancer, Hope keeps you going. Hope for a cure, hope you make the next mile in the 3 day walk, hope you don't have to go through this again.
