First Photo shoot






A friend came to visit my friend and they let me take their picture.  This is my first actual photoshoot with people posing for me while I worked as fast as I could to keep up with my camera.  Her name is Trish and she was wonderful.  His name is JTcashstack.  Both are straight money.  Her exuberant personality was more than I could capture in one single outing.  His taught me more about modeling and positioning then I gave him credit for.  I learned so much from these two, I am so very thankful for letting me take your picture.

Goofy camera stuff: Canon 5D mark II, various lens to include 15mm fisheye, 100 macro and 17-40 wide angle.

Not just filler...




As my computer RAID Array fails, I am forced to bring back some older picks from my Philmont trip.  It's time like these that make me cherish my other RAID array.  The mirror one, not the stripping one.  Now if I could just get past this Vista problem...

Camera Stuff: Canon G10 set on full auto.

Beach Evening




Took a simple walk on the beach with the wife this evening.  I noticed the first shot.  She noticed the second.  If you've ever met my wife, you would realize she is not a technical wizard.  This is okay, as in moments like this evening she very efficient at pointing out this excellent picture above.  It was during this moment that I realized that experience isn't necessarily linked to that specific topic, but rather the ability to recognize was is being witnessed.

Inverted


I think this is one of the few pictures I have done well.  And I really like the part about it being upside down.  

Another picture with the excellent Canon G10.

A Reflection of a Path Less Traveled...


This was taken by my little Canon G10.  The more I use this camera, the more I'm impressed with it.  It's ability ability to fully capture the moment in time is phenomenal.

This was taken during the first day in a trek through the New Mexico back country.  It might have been one of those times when an outstanding situation occurs and doesn't reoccur again for a while.
