Senior Services







Lessons learned from this shoot: MoBot will charge you a pretty penny to go in and do pictures of people, as opposed to the plants. But Tower Grove Park is close, and works as a suitable alternative. Photoshop can, with a few adjustments, make pictures taken on a gray day look almost appealing.

So this is my cousin, Maria. I took far more than what you see here, and I actually took some that one could use as a senior picture. But those aren't nearly as interesting as these, so they aren't here. Sorry. I should note that the glasses she's wearing are mine. Both of us were blind, so it's nice to have auto-focus.

I think that's all I got.

Pride and Joy






Things I've learned:

-babies are always cute
-babies are kinda squirmy
-pacifiers may not always do what their name implies
-babies will almost always reduce intelligent adults to nonsense speakers

Not complaints, of course, just observations.

(that's Natalie, by the by)

Odds and Sods





Well, this pretty much marks the end of the unused pictures I have sitting around. Thankfully, I have some stuff to shoot this week (and I still have an old shoot to edit. so I sort of lied).

The first shot was really unexpected--I was in Clayton doing the second framed session, and this feller (James was his name) saw what we were doing and was really excited about the notion of getting in on the fun. I remember his lady-friend thinking he was being really goofy, but clearly, he didn't mind.

I don't know the name of the guy in shot number two, but I do like his license plate. He was sitting just ahead of me in the U2 line.

Life is but a dream...




Busy days and bleah weather make for fewer shoots lately. I do have something from a few weeks ago, but haven't sat down to work on it. Also hope to have some new shoots in the coming weeks. We shall see.

In the meantime, enjoy this shot of a guy in a kayak from Creve Coeur Lake I shot last summer in honor of the warmth this past weekend.
