2010.7.28 (iPhoneography) For “work” I attended a Redsox vs. Angels game this week. It was also one of the last days that I had shooting with my iPhone 3G. The upgrade is here, and now I’ve got the new iPhone 4. Better camera, but still a piece of crap. Which is what makes it fun….
2010.7.27 This is a quick preview of some portraits I took of some friends of our and their kids. These are the MacDonald kids. Great family, great kids. The back lighting was a bit harsh on these, but I like the way they turned out.
2010.7.26 If you remember a few days ago I mentioned it was my son’s anniversary, and a few weeks ago it was his birthday. I mentioned then that I owed you a picture of him. Well, here it is finally. Kiel (sounds like “Kyle”, just spelled wrong).
2010.7.25 (Thomas Kinkade on Acid) This picture is either A) Thomas Kinkade after a nasty acid trip or B) what happens when you put 3 of the wrong photos into photomatrix to attempt to make an HDR. Before you can say “whoops” you end up with a picture you can’t stop playing with. Although this…
2010.7.24 World Wide Photo Walk. Yep, I participated today. I hadn’t been down to the Venice Canals to photograph them ever, and living here in Southern California, that just doesn’t make sense. So I decide to kill two birds with one stone and go to the walk there. As we started out down the canal…
2010.7.22 I’m in a real creative funk the last week or so. It seems when this happens to me I end up back with flowers again. Flowers to me are a simple exercise in framing and leaving things out. They are beautiful and amazing all by themselves, the issue is simply making an interesting image…
2010.7.20 I like the twisted nature of this tree. I’m not really happy with the overall photo, but they can’t all be good. The lighting just wasn’t right, but the tree was very interesting to me.
My family, along with almost the entire extended family on my wife’s side, spent the week of July 4th in Pismo Beach. We had a great time. The weather was a bit on the cooler side, but it turned out to be perfect. Time on the beach, cousins playing together, early morning photo walks, eating…
2010.7.17 There is a great photographic lesson here. One that even after you have learned over and over again, will come back to haunt you. One that is probably the most important lesson to learn if you want to take great pictures. PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS IN THE FRAME! I’m not real happy with…
