Hi All,
I’ve finally found a great blog template, so I will no longer be publishing to wordpress.com.
I’ve imported all my posts from this site to the new location, so come check it out!!!
Please bookmark my new blog site:
See you all there! 
Thanks!

Played around with some light a while back, as I needed to exercise my “lighting chops” a bit.
Background light here is courtesy of one kitchen colander, which I thought made a pretty cool vortex-like pattern.
Main light is provided by one shoot thru umbrella in reflective mode.
It’s good to finally be back on the blog after many many months! I’m proud to say that we have also added a new addition to our family, so needless to say we have been swamped.
This past summer, my sister & niece came to stay with us for a couple weeks. It was beautiful summer weather, which gave us the opportunity to spend a lot of time outdoors.
Here are some of my favorites…
Cheers!

Before firing up the grill one evening, I decided to experiment and take a few photos. This was taken in our backyard with trees, shrubbery, and all
(gotta love the inverse square law here). Face painting was courtesy of our day trip to the local zoo. I think the artwork added some nice lines here.
Tech Specs:
Top 3 photos were all natural lighting.
The bottom was shot with off camera lighting:
