Weekend Getaway

The Zoo.

I'm a very big fan of taking pictures in the zoo.

Probably because I'm a very big chicken and fences make me feel safer.

However, I try not to make it look like the animals are in the zoo, which is hard with all the concrete and faux stone.



This is quite possibly one of my favorite animal shots I've ever taken.
I am never going to get this shot again.
And I think it's funny.

The Japanese Gardens

Downtown.

This was a fun shoot.

I got to see my friends again, since they came in town for this.

They were great sports.

Eventhough we had unusual and bitterly cold weather,

the pictures don't show it.

Now they are moving farther away.

We will miss them.

Circus

I'm not very good at using my camera.
At least as far as some lighting situations go.
But I thought these turned out to be beautiful images of the circus at it's best.
They aren't about documentary.
They are about lighting and mood and the performance.

The S. Family

I liked this shoot.
I had a new site which made things challenging.
And I got to learn some serious new skills with photoshop.
They didn't need retouching, I just had fun with it.

There's nothing like creating a "wheat field" in the city.

Baby Avery

This was my first newborn baby shoot of this sort.
I love how it turned out.
