Beauty is where you find it.

    I haven't been shooting a lot lately. The big layoffs here really hurt my senior photography business, and I work quite a bit of overtime at my "real job". Luckily I met Heather. She is a gorgeous young lady that will help me out anytime I need a little practice. The first time that I photographed her, she was really nervous. I tried to make her feel at ease with my witty humor.....but I don't think that helped. The next time we shot, it was for real. I used her to get some medical images that I wanted for my stock portfolio. She pulled her hair back in a ponytail, put on a scrub top and she was a  nurse. She did really good. She looked so convincing, I think she should apply to Nursing School.
   Yesterday, we just shot for the fun of it. I wanted to get her some images just for her. Some that she would like and that she could share with her family. She has the most beautiful smile and the whitest teeth that I have ever seen. Hey maybe I should shoot her for a toothpaste add.....

Always trying something

Sorry I haven't been as faithful to my blog as I should be, or not at all lately. No excuses..... Anyway, I have been looking at some homemade light tents, or boxes on the wonderful internet for a few weeks. Three weeks ago, I went and purchased all the supplies that I thought I would need to build one. I think I have less the 10 dollars invested. Lately a few of my stock images have been selling and it has motivated me to get on the ball and get some more images up on my agency's web page. istockphoto.com, go buy some of my stuff. LOL. I have been wanting to get more into products and food photography, that stuff seems to sell and lately I have had some problems lining up models for portrait type images. So here is my first attempt with my homemade light tent. I like the way it turned out. Let me know what you think. Oh yeah, I don't wear this stuff, it's my wife's. I am an Old Spice man.
