Smiling and Swinging

Love this kid! Brings a smile to my face every day! This is a special smile (When mom surprised us at Lincoln Park. All natural light. http://flic.kr/p/m2YruK

Put Me in Coach!

I've been wanting to create an image like this for some time now. I had a cancellation and decided to make lemonade out of lemons. Finally got my lens back after being away for repair for almost a month and half! I've been shooting everything with either my 85mm or my 17-40. I was screwed if I needed anything in between but made it work and zoomed with my feet. This was lit with a couple of gridded strip boxes on either side turned almost all the way up (ab800's). I had an Einstein 640 through a gridded beauty dish for the key and I filled the shadows with a 64" softbox behind me . http://flic.kr/p/jCU589

To Cool for Fall

I love the term, available light, whether it be sun, lamp, strobe, or otherwise. This one happens to be the sun bouncing off a rather large white building. The light is much more direct than cloudy natural light but softer than strobe. Once you become a photographer you spend all day "looking for light" whether you mean to or not! http://flic.kr/p/hnVnSv
