Time For Work

It’s Saturday, which lately for me means a wedding. And I have one today at noon. Last one of the year (I think). After today, I’m going to have to look for something else to make my payments, like family shoots, models, newborns, headshots, kids, etc. I have a newborn tomorrow, even though he’s 2 weeks old. After that I have a whole list of potential clients, just need to follow through and make it happen. But honestly, I’m also kind of looking forward to having my weekends free. But with boredom comes trouble. Got to keep busy.

This was taken at the same time/place as my brother in law Cameron who went out with me a couple days ago to get some HDR shots of something. The clouds were just too good to pass it up.

Also, check out the candid shot I asked him to shoot of me while shooting my previous shot. Hopefully this isn't used as evidence against me for causing the unusual traffic Thursday evening.

Have a great Saturday everyone. I’ll honestly do my best to get back to your streams asap. It’s been a little busy of late.

Rush Hour

Why would anyone rush away from such an amazing sunset? Finally we’re blessed with some awesome clouds and people just run away from them. I sat on the overpass of a local road to quickly capture what was left of a brilliant sunset. I was with my bro-in-law and quickly crossed traffic to get to this spot, setup and shoot.

This was done on a tripod, using a hand-held 2 Cokin filters (GND .9 & .6) while extending my hand out over the railing while my tripod was leaned up against the railing, shooting in manual while large vehicles drove behind us shaking the bridge.

Funny because when I got home, I got a message from a friend

Any chance that was you on the overpass taking photos of the sunset and traffic?

Small world.

Have a good weekend everyone. I hope you all get to relax in your own special way.

Don't let it being Friday the 13th scare you off from anything, unless of course you're flying on an international flight or something... Hi Mike! Welcome back!

The Girls

I didn’t really take many photos while I was in DC because my focus was on work and meeting up with old friends. First was a completely surprise visit to Joel & Katie who I haven’t seen in… 3 years? Met their sons David & Matthew and both are adorable. But the best part was I didn’t tell them I was in town, didn’t tell them I was stopping over. Just put their address in my GPS and showed up around 5pm on Saturday. I could see them inside sitting down to dinner, which was perfect, so I rang the doorbell and saw them gesture at each other. I covered my face as he opened the door

Hi, my name is Vladimir and wanted to know if you would be interested in a total life insurance policy…

He didn’t even hear what I had to say. Gave me a hug and invited me in. Met the rest of the family, had some beer & tacos, and then him and I went out to catch up.

Sunday I did the unimaginable and actually let my old roommate and friend know I was coming to visit, so I got there after visiting the amish country, and we ate buffalo chicken cheesesteaks, and then went to the park with their two daughters. They are both cute as can be, and the younger one just started to walk on her own a couple days before. But now she has the hang of it and walks with confidence. Here you can see she’s already posing. The older one gave me a nice hug as I left and said she’s going to miss me. I like that feeling.

Show me your Flair

After a week in Washington DC it’s nice to be back home. Needless to say, the first thing I had to eat when I was back was Mexican food. No offense east coast, but Chipotle is not authentic Mexican food. It’s still good, however. Mmmm barbacoa…

I have a wedding this Saturday. First one in a couple weeks, I hope I’m not too rusty. Then I only have like 4 more weddings until March or so. It’ll be good to get some time off. Let me work on my life, kids, house, real job, 6-pack abs, and other things. Eventually do that trip to Death Valley. Perhaps some newborns, etc.

Anyway, I like this shot because of the light. Just spun and shot.
Sorry for being a bad commenter on here. Well, not really that sorry. Real life comes first. And I didn’t take many photos in DC because I spent most of my free time visiting old friends. Nothing wrong with Flickr friends, but real world always comes first. I know you understand.

Want to go Dutch?

The Pennsylvania Dutch “Amish” folk really don’t like having their pictures taken. Like most things in life, I found this out the hard way. Perhaps if I would have made the camera myself out of wood, twine and dung they would have accepted the technology and allowed me to do it. OH, I’d also have to wear a white shirt, suspenders and have a beards that I started growing when I was 14. It’s an interesting life, and they seem to have adapted quite well.

This was shot after I gave up on photographing a buggy going down the main street in Intercourse. Yes, that’s the town’s name. It’s between Blue Balls & Paradise. (not joking). I’ve been in Intercourse before, but never for more than an hour and that was a long time ago. I was on my way out of town when I saw these buggies coming from their farm, and spun around my convertible mustang and literally just sprayed the scene with my 85 1.4D @ f/1.8. I was lucky to get this, and couldn’t have framed it any better. Just wish I had more clouds to play with.

Looking forward to coming home and playing with my kids after seeing some amazing fall color, eating way too many cheesesteaks and catching up with old friends. Back to reality.
