All in the Family

This isn't exactly a sequel to this post, but since some of the same folks are involved, you can think of it as a cousin. Kara's mom wanted some family pictures, so we went to....some park. It's over by Six Flags. The overcast sky was actually nice, since no one was squinting because of the sun. The hats were mom's idea. Everyone sitting at random was mine. Logan being adorable continues to be his own thing. The shot on the slide features a little bit of blur as I zoomed in, which doesn't always work out, but looks pretty cool here. Happy accident!

Johnny Law

Ah, if only Brian's name was Johnny. He IS a lawyer, though, so the title is half-right. I even got to stand in a real court room for the shoot, which was kind of exciting. Turns out everything was on the opposite side of where I usually imagined it.

The last shot is fun, if not all that relevant to what we were trying to convey. But it is a cool looking wall, so it seemed silly not to use it.

On Parade

A few of the folks I saw at the ColorFest Parade in Louisiana, MO.

SPHDZ & NERDS

Sometimes we have authors visit the library. Sometimes I remember to get a posed picture with them while they're here. Such is the case here--Jon Scieszka up top and Michael Buckley below.

Working with kid's authors is easier, since they seem to be inclined to be a little goofy anyway.

Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise

I was really excited to bring my camera to the Avett Brothers concert a couple weeks ago, because they put on a heck of a show, and do lots of awesome things on stage. But the lighting was a little dimmer than I'd hoped, and I was just far enough away to require a zoom, meaning I had less aperture to work with. And it was really crowded, so it was hard to really spend time composing. So.....I do like the shot of bassist Bob Crawford, but in the end, I couldn't help but be a little let down.

On the plus side, I got some cool shots of opening act Grace Potter, so that takes some of the annoyance away.

Family Values

These must be teasers, since the intention was to take "family" pictures, and, well, it's mostly just Logan. Kara and Karl are there, true, but being out of focus or cut off below the waist doesn't really count. But I think a second session is in order, which will allow for more time in daylight. So perhaps after that, or just when I have some more time, I'll post extra stuff.
