Just one photo • Holding on
I will fight you, kicking and screaming, to give up summer. And the weekend. Until then, my Harpoon and I will be in the backyard.

The summary is technically not over yet. We have a little over two weeks left. I wonder where it has gone; I wonder this every year.
Read MoreJust one photo • Shelter
This is the first of an occasional series where I will post one photo. Even when I'm not photographing people, I generally have my camera(s) with me much of the time and photograph the world around me. Get to know your photographer. You never know what you might learn.

I'm not going to lie: I hate having my picture taken. I'd rather take the Physical Challenge (good for you if you understand that reference).
Read MoreLight the way
Last week I was lucky enough to attend a Light The Way lighting workshop put on by talented local photographers Seth Jacobson and Bad Smith right down the street from me in Peace Dale, RI.
Read MoreA week of Lensbaby
Thanks to the votes from all of you out there in cyber land, the first lens I used for my One Lens, One Week project was my Lensbaby. The Lensbaby is a lens that I love but don't use as much as I would like, so this vote was a good thing.
Read MoreOne lens, one week
I decided that for a personal project, it would be a fun challenge to use one lens only for a whole seven days to take photos. Then at the end of the seven days, I'll put up a blog post up with photos taken with that one lens. In my infinite wisdom, I have created a survey to poll you, dear readers of my blog, to determine what lens I should use for my first round of this project. So, if you'd like to check it out and take the survey, go right ahead!
And you can also find the link on my facebook page...go there, check it out, like the page if you feel so inclined!
Light
Light. It is what I am always looking for. It is what any photographer is always looking for, I think. I stop to look at shadows that I find interesting. I am given pause by the catchlights in people's eyes sometimes. When I go for long runs, I spend a lot of my time thinking about lighting setups. In short, I love light.

The late shift
I've been busy busy busy for what seems like forever working on the business side of things, so I haven't had much time to shoot anything, let alone people. I have been able to get out a few times near or at dark over the past ten days, though. Thankfully summer means it's warm out AND it stays lighter longer...all bonuses for me! Scroll down to take a look.
Ahh, to be a teenager again!
A portrait shoot with the ladies
I was able to secure some beautiful models for a blitz portrait shoot the beginning of this month. This shot was super fun, especially when a few of them stepped out to get ice cream and brought some back for me! I am so glad to have had the chance to work with all these ladies, especially all at one time!
