Sam's Senior Portrait 2008-12-15 17:04:00 Yesterday I photographed Sam's senior portrait. Sam wanted a photo that captured her love of skiing and the outdoors. We met for an initial consultation which gave us a chance to get to know each other. I like to do this before any portrait so that when I actually do the shoot it will be our second meeting and the subject will hopefully be a little more comfortable. This meeting was also a time Read more:Portrait
Strobbist: Learn how to light 2008-12-12 12:28:00 I have been following the Strobist blog for a while now. I have watched it grow into a hugely popular blog, and for good reason. What is Strobbist? This website is about one thing: Learning how to use off-camera flash with your dSLR to take your photos to the next level. Or the next ten levels. Strobbist is run by Read more:light
SocialDocumentary.net 2008-12-11 14:41:00 A while back I came across the SocialDocumentary.net web site. SocialDocumentary.net is a new website that features documentary photography from around the world—images and words that explore the human condition. There is some truly fine work on this site.

When I am traveling, I often catch other photographers staring at me, or rather at my camera. I admit, I do it too.

Annie Libovitz at Work, A first look 2008-12-05 21:09:00 I am currently reading Annie
Libovitz's new book, Annie Libovitz At Work, which I pre-ordered from Amazon. It is really good and quite different from any of her other picture books.Annie has been one of my favorite photographers for a long time and an inspiration. Recently I have been developing more of an interest in portraiture, and Annie's style of conceptual portraiture is what I really like a
Cranes Everywhere 2008-12-03 00:55:00 On Monday morning (December 1st, 2008) I woke up and heard the squawking of cranes. I recognize this sound as that of the Greater Sandhill Cranes. It is not a common morning sound here in Ridgway.
