BUSY WEEKEND

OK --- so I still haven't mended my ways. Been way too long since my last post. No excuses, just lazy and not focused. Lots of photos since then, and all I really have time for right now is to focus on what I did this weekend. Saturday I did a portrait lighting learning session just to broaden my horizons. Had fun changing backgrounds, adding gels to strobes and adjusting the lights. Asked Tristan if he would wear some hats for me during the photo shoot. He quickly said yes, and oh boy was I happy. Well, I started him off with real 'safe' stuff. Baseball cap, my straw hat and Dan's leather hat.......... then came the fuzzy girly cap. And his immediate response was a laughing ' Oh NO, I'm not wearing THAT ' . Well guess what. He knows the power of keeping your word, so he gracefully put it on and was the bestest super duper sport this side of the Mississippi. Here are some shots of Tristan and David from Saturday.









OK --- you see why Tristan really really really wasn't keen on the last hat ??? Cutie anyway.

Well then, comes Sunday and I headed down to the butterfly house in the museum district. There has GOT to be a better way to see butterflies than in a more than humid rainforest setting. It's July folks. Tell me why it made sense to go? Oh yea, photo club event - nice to chum with your buds, and for me to shoot a different subject than normal. I had fun. I loaned out my macro lens for most of the time, so had fun with different lenses.


Well, until next time -- keep in touch.
