Red Rock Canyon, first half

Red Rock Canyon, second half

Yes, I did go with people to Red Rock Canyon, all evidence to the contrary (the first blog entry.) Two of the people are very newlywed and brought their wedding dress and suit - so cool!


The adventurous one.


Jean did such a great job of posing for us. Her dress is beautiful!! I loved it.











What follows is a few random shots of people.

The dress code for this outing was black tie.






No comment.









They did such a great job!








Table 4 Photography

Las Vegas, walkin' about

I spent Wednesday evening Vegas walking around with some other photographer friends (Jason and Andrew of Table 4 Photography and Aaron.) And just so you know, I DID photograph more than just the guys I was with, but I'm saving those other pictures for when I finally complete the small assignment I started working on last year.

This is a pretty recognizeable landmark, but for those of you who have had the pleasure of NOT going to Vegas, I'll tell you it's the Flamingo.


Meet the guys.


Jason and Andrew showing us how to shoot. They should give a workshop.




Uh.....


Um.....I offer no explanations.





I feel like saying, "Don't worry, little boy, we'll find your mommy."

WPPI Print Competition

I don't think I can possibly do a re-cap of the week that I was there, so I'll be posting little snippets here and there as I'm able to do so.
I entered the print competition again this year after having my humble success last year and I really didn't go in with high expectations because I really just wanted to learn from the experience. I was able to sit in one of the rooms during judging all day Saturday and I saw 7 of my prints judged. After they made their comments, I was able to understand why they said what they said. In the end, two of the prints scored an 80 which means they earned Accolades of Excellence. The remaining prints of mine earned scores from 75 to 78.

This is the first time one of my wedding prints has done well. It seems only my non-wedding work does well, which makes me wonder..........nah, the competition is pretty stiff so I can't expect too much. I just love the expression on this little boy's hands!



This one was taken in Colombia during my last missions trip and these boys had just finished with their bible class. I took it as I walked by and didn't have a chance to check my settings because I didn't have time to stop to properly take the shot.

Marsha and Matt's engagement session

You'll be seeing Marsha and Matt again in their wedding pictures, but for now, take a look at their engagement session. This had to be the windiest day of the year, by far! But we worked with it and didn't let that stop us. And if you'll notice, there aren't any 'jumping' pictures because not everyone is a fan of jumping. ;)
