Inspiration!

So after a wonderful trip to Austin (a combo business & personal trip) I was once again inspired. I can only give credit to one person, my best friend from high school, Becky. I was sharing my woes with her about not being inspired to take photos beyond the jobs I've been doing. So during a night outing to The Oasis, she patiently waited while I snapped some shots and said "Let's get you inspired."

Here's the result. Thanks, Becky, for the inspiration and encouragement.

The Great Easter Egg Hunt

My sister and I put together an Easter egg hunt for the niece and nephews.

The family gag item even got an egg hidden in it:

My niece was content just to find 5 eggs...

Graycard

In photography classes, if you don't have a middle graycard to meter for settings, you use the back of your hand...I thought these were interesting. Here's what came of my recent self-portraits.

And the result:

I am so critical of photos of me...thank goodness I'm the one behind the camera.

Fun Ones

I am making all efforts to shoot on a consistent basis whether I have work or not. The only way for me to become a better photographer is to consistently shoot.

Here are a few recent shots. I sit for these kids and totally love them and their enthusiasm. What a fun day!

White Christmas

Here are a few great shots from the very white Christmas I enjoyed in Wisconsin.

I used a warm filter on this one.

Here's a shot of me on the slopes (thank you to my brother who skiied down and took this one).
