Merry Christmas!!

I'm off to WI tomorrow for the holidays...to everyone reading, have a wonderful Christmas and a wonderous New Year!

Will return with lots of skiing photographs!

Interesting Shots

I Love Fishes...

I thought these were interesting...the fish tank of the Smiths. Thanks to G & W for allowing me to photograph their "kids." :)

Self Portraits

Simply because I didn't like the photo of myself posted on the blog, I took several shots of myself tonight just for the heck of it.

Furniture - Before & After

So I promised I would share the "before & after" photos of my furniture piece from my 3-dimensional design class....so here they are.

It was a difficult task--to destruct what took many hours to construct. Specifically because it has sentimental value in the memory of the piece I was duplicating. I painted the inside a red-orange color, which was significant because the original chest of drawers was that color. Also, I always enjoyed opening the drawers and looking inside, so I wanted to draw attention to the inside for the deconstruction portion.

All that to say, it was an interesting project!

Christmas Photos

Tonight I was just playing around with some photos of my lit Christmas tree. I thought some of them were fun (yes, they are supposed to be blurry).

FINISHED!

It feels GREAT to be done for the semester--today was the last day of classes! WOOT!

The bank photo shoot went well. I may eventually post some of the photos but want to be sure I have their permission first. The new lighting is FAB. I was able to use the "model" setting because I am still trying to learn how the flash bulb setting works. I attempted to play with it the other night and ended up with a HUGE shadow on the bottom half of the photo. Obviously I haven't had a lighting class yet and I have much to learn!

Now I can relax from the school stress and play around with my new equipment.

Williams Christmas Photos

Here are some Christmas photos of the Williams Family.

I've got a job with a bank taking their employee headshots on Tuesday. I just bought a set of studio lights that sync with my camera, so I've got to play with that before then. Hopefully all will continue to go well--I haven't had to work Uhri Photography at all...everything has been word-of-mouth. Just think what I could do if I didn't rely solely on word-of-mouth???
