I had an opportunity of a lifetime pop up last week. I got an email on Model Mayhem from Titania Lyn (pretty much top-tier professional model who's credits include little things like the cover of Playboy Special Editions and whatnot) saying that she was going to be in DC for a job and had time to schedule some fun shoots. So I penciled in a... Read More
I put vegetables in the vegetable crisper because that is where the vegetables go. If I had my druthers my husband would keep all of his beer in his mini fridge in the garage, but a girl must make allowances for the people she loves... or something.
I don't want to go into details, I'll end up jinxing it. But I'm less than a week away and chomping at the bit. My cameras are ready to go, I have a freezer full of 4x5 Portra, and the model is lined up and ready to go. You'll read about it first here.
So here's an interesting quandary: If you fancy yourself an aspiring photographer, and you come upon an opportunity to shoot with a playboy model, do you take it? Well, that part's the easy part. Of course you do. The quandary being on short notice with limited space, where and what do you shoot?
I'm currently waiting to hear back from Titania on the specifics of... Read More
I feel great. Unbelievably so. It seems after years of misery, things are finally starting to turn for the better. My divorce is going as smoothly as it can, given the situation, and lit looks by the time all is said and done, we will have been able to do it without dragging lawyers into the mix. She finally got a full time position and... Read More
In racing, they tell you that after an accident, you should get back in the car and start driving again as soon as possible or else you may develop a fear that youll never overcome. In equine sports, they say the same about the saddle. I believe the same holds true for photography. My life has tumbled out of control as of late. An unplanned... Read More
Sorry to hear about the shitty parts, but yay for jumping back on the horse!!! I'm looking forward to doing the same once I get me eyes working right again!!
I've been unplugged from the internet for a few days shy of a full month now. It's weird, but it's part of living in the sticks. I'll probably be back online within the next month or so, but I'm enjoying my time away moreso each day. Now, when I get bored, I go out and do something instead of reaching for the laptop.
So there I was, driving from Fredericksburg to Mineral and stuck behind a school bus full of high school aged kids. While stopped at a stoplight, one of them apparently decided to try and see what kind of reaction he could get from the driver of the vehicle right behind the bus (that'd be me). As I sat waiting for the light to turn green,... Read More
I'll be going off the grid here very shortly. Out house is nearing completion and we should be moving in for good within the next two weeks. I'm doing the walls and floors in my studio room tomorrow! There's just one problem. The house is so far in the sticks we'll have to choose between dial-up and satellite. W00t. We're also going to wait a... Read More
So there I was, in my tree stand, toes frozen, draining my cellphone battery with facebook just to keep my phone warm enough to keep my trigger hand from going numb. Shortly before eight, I began considering the merits... Read More
