This is what I did before I got an extension tube. Take your lens off your camera and focus closer…TODAY! 
Here are some I missed of good friends from a while ago. The first one is the most out-of-focus picture of my mom you’ll ever see.
Here’s a shot from an engagement shoot I helped out on with Aaron of DM Photo . We walked down to the beach to get a different perspective and inadvertantly scared a whole bunch of birds which took off. I think bringing a sack of birds would not be out of place at any photoshoot, though its better if you ‘happen’ upon them.
Jerry Salem, the gentleman I shot the gyro/hamburger photos for. Trained as an aeronautical engineer, Jerry runs a small promotions company for local businesses in Phoenix. Here, Jerry sits in the board room of his shared office space in Phoenix.
Hello. I haven’t posted in a really really long time. I made macarons over our winter holiday. Though I have quite a way to come, I produced something that was edible that I really enjoyed. So I tried to do some foodish photos, these kind of show a lack of any real set-up on my part. Maybe I’ll try to make them again soon just because I’m posting this.
my secret flash modifier also can simulate beautiful sunlight when used on camera, like this:
I can’t wait to use it for taking pictures outside of the home.
today’s post is about friendship. i took some pictures of briana the other day because we’re friends. her blog is here: briana’s blog
but briana’s also friends with catherine…
and alton…
and i wouldnt be friends with either briana or alton if it weren’t for catherine! so this holiday season, get out there and make some friends. and maybe your new friends will introduce you to other friends and it will go on and on and on.
Alton was nice enough to let me butcher a box of his instant iced tea to make a new speedlight modifier that makes a single strip of yellow light. And then he sat for some pictures.
I think I like this quite a bit and see a potential for it, especially with a nice background light.
Decorating the christmas tree has been much anticipated over the past few weeks. We’ve had it set up bare since just after Thanksgiving. We finally decorated it last night. And by we I mean Alton and Catherine. I kind of just took pictures and pretended to fix the bulbs that wouldn’t light.
I watched Soot just sit on the table while hungry mischief brewed in his eyes. I don’t think I did it justice with this one.
I finally got to shoot some food today at Sam’s Gyro’s on Central and Dunlap. It was pretty fun, lots of gyros… and American food too. The owner was great, he had these huge panorama landscape photos on the walls that he had taken of Iraq in the 80s. I never knew Iraq was so green.
I would like to shoot more food, especially more artistic food, so if anyone knows anyone, hook me up.
