Taking note of the good things
Posted in Photos on Apr 21st, 2008
This girl was having her photo taken by her brother. I took this photo and then asked if I could snap a few others. She was very happy to oblige. I’d really like to get back in to doing a bit more outdoor portrait work as I enjoy capturing the poses and expressions. I need [...]
My co-workers are generally good sports for standing in as models when I want to try out something. Katie let me take a variety of "eye" photos today, which I am going to process and post a few of them over the next few days. This processing is what came to mind when I starting [...]

This is some aged/green processed look added to a portrait taken of my little niece. When we were taking the photos I commented that I thought she had a perfect “Gerber Baby” look to her when smiled (which was often). For some reason she found me particularly funny that day, which is excellent [...]

My wife, Heather, is golden; and I’m not just saying that because of the sunset lighting we had last night. I am always grateful for the good fortune that smiled on me when I met and somehow convinced this woman to wed me. There is nothing good I have done in my adult life that [...]

Here’s another portrait from the other day that I decided to throw into Photoshop and see what I could do with it. I started first in Lightroom with a “cold” setting which I found brought her eyes and brooch into attention.
I went with a higher key look to go with the cold feel, [...]

When I was taking the photos of some co-workers the other day, Brandon spotted a shovel in the corner of the studio. With the hoodie he had with him that day, we thought it would make for a fun “Prison Break” or “Reaper” look. I threw this one into Photoshop to have a little fun [...]

Yesterday my work had me take photos of the customer service reps for some fun photos to put up on the walls of their area. They wanted them in black and white, and to have the people display whatever “personality” they wanted. These are what ended up being the final product.
I am reminded from this [...]

Brandon is a co-worker that let me take some portraits today of him. I need some lighting and post-processing practice, and he figures the free photos to throw on his Facebook profile are worth sitting in for me.
I’ll have some more of him in the future.

Here we have some baby feet taken of a co-worker’s newborn almost 2 years ago. Still one of my favorites I have taken of this concept.
To take this photo as well as others in the series, the baby was too young to be propped up on some pillow, or perhaps I just didn’t have the [...]

Yesterday I had the opportunity to participate in my second event with the “Photowalking Utah” Flickr group (formerly Photowalking Salt Lake City). This young but burgeoning group is made up of Utah photo hobbyists of all experience levels simply looking to have a good time and an excuse to get out and take [...]
