As friends recently pointed out....

2010-02-11T21:56:00.003-06:00

As friends recently pointed out to me I have now been active on my BLOG in a very long time IE(February 26, 2008). Which gives the indication that I may not still be active as a Photographer. This could not be further from the truth. I have been concentrating my efforts in other areas of the web and social marketing.

We were all working hard on the last day of class. I saw this image out of the corner of my eye and just took the shot. It kind of summed up the week with Wil Crockett and Marc Hauser.

Nice smile Karen. ;-)

Girl with massive dreads

2006-09-15T10:43:00.000-05:00

I met this couple last weekend at a local bar. What caught eye was her hair. She has the longest dreads I have ever seen. She was sitting on a bar stool and they hung down to within 18 inches of the floor. Very interesting.

Back at the Ren. Faire after going to Santa Fe, NM

2006-08-25T02:20:00.000-05:00

The time and money expended going to the Santa Fe Workshops was well worth it. The setting, equipment, instructor, Studio assistants, models, food and Support staff were all great. I want to also thank my classmates who are a bunch of really great people not to mention great Professional Photographers and without whose help I would not have gotten as much out of the class as I did. Thank you all so very much.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Joe McNally I want to thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of photography free and openly. I am just starting to understand what you have given me. Also thank you for sharing your personal memories, stories and emotions of the "Faces Ground Zero" book. I found a new copy of the book.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I can even tell that my confidence is up. I don't down play the quality of my work. I have been getting a lot of positive feed back both from people that see my work for the first time and people that I have photographed.

Yes I am back shooting my passion the "Bristol Ren. Faire" two more weekends left before it all ends again for the season. These are two lady friends at the faire that I like to shoot.

All started because of a drum kit malfunction. When you have lemons make lemon Aid.

This is an action shot of Hannah. She is really good and she really enjoys playing.

This is Hannah's Dad. He is just too KULE.

This is Don Peterson. He sat in with the band for a set. He is amazing.
