Big Star… More to Follow

I feel blessed to have witnessed this concert.  I only edited 18 so far.  300+ to go.  Here’s the best of that 18…

Monster!

That is Monster at Denny’s. He came with me to see Run Robot Saturday night.  Run Robot is a kick ass rock band. This is Mike.  He is the lead singer and is also the bass player for another of my favorite bands, Binky Bianca .

This is Chet.  He plays guitar for Run Robot & Trick [...]

Lensbaby 2.0

So, apparently the wedding pictures I took weren’t too horrible because my friends presented me with a very unexpected thank you gift in the form of the most awesome Lensbaby 2.0 (maybe they’re just really nice, awesome people).  I have had it for less than a week & have yet to dedicate sufficient time to [...]

Where do they play music east of the Mississippi?

Snowball 37 is starting to plan a tour for October so I was wondering if your hometown has any cool places for musicians to play original music?  Primarily, the focus will be on areas east of the Mississippi and north of  (but including) Tennessee.  Please comment with any ideas you may have.  Also, if anyone [...]

SAPCC #46 – Justapose/Juxtaposition

1 – Sometimes I have the perfect picture for the challenge & I just don’t execute it properly.  This is one of those.  My friend ordered this dinner at the bowling alley.  I took two shots but it was my turn to bowl so…

2 – Peas on penne vodka pizza? 

3 – What on earth is [...]

SAPCC #45 -Shine

I am running late because I went out looking for a better picture.  Eh.  I also found a new thing on photoshop – lighting effects   I can now sort of make a vignette effect.  The only bad thing is that it overexposes some of the light areas.  I am still learning & I [...]

SAPCC #44 – Nostalgia

Going to the fair is often nostalgic because of the temporary escape from reality.  Calories don’t count and for a few seconds, you can sit on top of the world dangling your toes in the wind.  For a dollar, you can see a giant horse or a midget.  I always opt for the giant horse.  Here is [...]

SAPCC #43 – Isolation

I finally got a new hard drive – 1TB… Woooohooo!  For the past three weeks, I have been limited in my abilities to edit photos because I had been moving videos, condensing them, deleting RAW files… It was a mess.  Add in too many events that needed photos and I have fallen behind. 
For “isolation,” I [...]

SAPCC #42 – Product

I have been waiting for a theme like this for about 35 weeks. I have always wanted to try my hand at making a plain backdrop & shooting a product in an ad-like format.  Unfortunately, some things happened that prevented me from taking the time to do that so, instead, I used my foster kitten, Billie [...]

SAPCC #41 – Risk

I didn’t find the theme until Monday so I didn’t shoot for the theme this week and I am late.  Luckily, I had our bulldog friend, Reggie, visiting.  As he was sleeping on the couch, I took one look at him (maybe a few looks) & ran downstairs to get my camera before he moved.  [...]
