I did a shot a couple months ago of my Sister’s family, it was experimental but still came out pretty cool. I had posted it on Facebook and my friend Dianna commented that she wanted one for her family. The trick is her family is 10 people large! I figured it would be fabulous to have a [...]
I had the privilege of doing a Family Photography shoot here in San Diego last Saturday with some old friends. I like to do shoots with people in places they love and the Pereas picked Normal Heights. It’s a fun eclectic neighborhood and they happen to live within walking distance. The weather was beautiful and we used [...]
I met Nick Zadrozny, a long time friend, today for lunch and to grab a few quick promo shots for his business. We both met as web developers years ago and though I have strayed a bit more into design and consulting Nick is still melting minds with his coding ways. Lunch was at the delicious Pokéz [...]
In an effort to develop my Rockstar Family Photography idea I recruited some rockstar friends for a photo shoot. We scheduled it a week out and when the day of the shoot came around (March 6th) it was nasty and stormy. Seriously what the heck, this is San Diego??? I got in touch with them [...]
Yesterday was my birthday. It was low key, I didn’t really do any real work, I had awesome Sushi for dinner, I modded another flash and built an external battery box, had a fine cigar AND got to take some pictures! (obviously those are in no particular order) Sherry is my wife’s Yoga instructor and [...]
I bought my first digital SLR camera on January 15, 2010. I studied my butt off, invested in some gear and practiced like crazy. Like every other hobby in my life I can’t help but get as good as possible as quickly as possible and I have been happy with my progress! Some of my [...]
We took some food over to the Burmeisters house this evening. Dinner was fabulous and the kiddo was in top form letting us all check him out. He even posed for some fun pictures. I didn’t capture a “Magic” shot of the whole family but hey, I’m still learning, it was fun playing with some [...]
I have been messing with lighting lately and was able to do a few “shoots”. This one is of Haley Montgomery, a local Diego Artist. A friend of mine was doing a shoot for her and I volunteered to do the lighting. I figured it would be good practice to try to light without being [...]
One of my favorite places to hang out in the evening is in my shed with a fine cigar. One day I’ll have a real garage for projects and cigar smoking but until then I’ll just have to enjoy my shed. I recently got some new toys so I was ready to play. I just [...]
Some long time friends came up yesterday for a BBQ, hanging out and Photo Shoot. We wandered over to Indian Hills Camp, which adjoins our property, and took some fun pseudo western pictures. This literally was my first photo shoot with a family, or people for that matter, so I was excited and hoping they would turn our great. [...]
As you probably already know I’m new to the world of SLR photography. I have been shooting in manual to force myself to learn and have recently gotten excited on about long exposure stuff. I was a total dork the other night and drove around holding the camera taking long exposure shots of passing cars just [...]
