Today was Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photo Walk. This is another fellow photog that I met on the walk. Very nice guy... We played a bit with off camera flash. My BF Jen is holding her SB-900 on my camera right, and Glenn is holding his SB-600 in is right hand. We got this very cool image. What do you think? When I post process, I usually include smoothing the skin, but I almost think I like it how it is... Kinds of adds character and adds to the portrait. What would you do? Should I smooth the skin or leave it as part of the image? Comments appreciated. Thanks!

This toad hopped away from my kids... He wanted to get away so much, he went in through the wheel of our garbage can. Probably, would have been so much easier, just to hop around the side of it. He must not be the brightest toad on the block. LoL.... :)

VBS Games

They were predicting rain all day.... The clouds were sooooo dark, but we all prayed we could get through VBS, then let it pour. Our prayers were answered, just as I'm outside with my groups, the sun broke through the clouds, and it never rained. I had to take a pic, with my trusty p&s.

Took an Advanced Studio Lightning workshop today. This was one of the beautiful models. I had a great time photographing her.

My son painted this shark... He is so proud of himself. Not only did he paint it, but he earned it by being a big helper to his sister and behaving ALL day, while I ran some errands. This was his reward, he picked it out in the store and waited ALL day to get to paint it.

Quickly shot this off from the car window... This is a sign, in front of my son's new school. He will be starting Kindergarten this fall. Growing up so fast!
