Remembrance Day

Zach and me in Gettysburg for the Civil War Remebrance Day Parade. There were multiple Lincolns present, it was a cold fun day and I wore a hoop.

Presidential Inauguration

So instead of traveling the 2 hours to Washington D.C. with the TWO reporters from our paper to cover the inauguration I got stuck going to a local middle school to shoot the students watching the whole event. I wouldn't have minded so much if it wasn't a sixth grade class. No offense to sixth graders around the world but grrrr you guys are obnoxious. They were cool for the Oath of Office but 3 mins. into the address and they were gone. So I got a lot of pics of really bored looking children. Also as I was looking through the photos I did take I found in the photos; two boys flipping the camera off, a boy sticking his tongue out, a multitude of giggling girls posing, and a couple boys who would manuver their bodies into almost everyone of my shots. Out of spite I didn't use any with them in it (yes I know I am an adult and they are kids but I was I was annoyed did I mention I didn't get to go to D.C. two hours away...). So this is going to be an blog entry without photos because I am not happy with any of my shots today and I didn't bring any of my photos home on my thumb drive and didn't have time to post at work.

For Jim Fisher

The last one is my favorite but didn't get turned in to publish.

Beautiful People

I have been given along with the other two photogs the job of getting about 25 portraits for the paper's magazine "Beautiful People" edition. I have been avoiding using the lighting kit but have now realized that it isn't all that hard. What do you think?

Finally

A basketball photo I am pleased with...

Experiments in photoshop

I was given the challege to make this photo from a Civil War Reenactment look like it was taken back then. It gave me something to do today at work, I called it research for future projects and it was a slow day my first assignment isn't until 7pm. It's is amazing what can be done in Photoshop, I am slowly learning.

The one and only...

Matt. He is high on the roof trying to get a shot of the warden at the jail across the street from the office. It was pouring hence the very cool old school hat.

sorry about the image quality I wasn't paying attention to the camera settings.
