No Socks

I love the ruffles at the bottom of her jeans.

Heather Preview

Autumn

Latest Photo Shoot

I thought I'd post a preview of today's photo session with my friend Heather. She is a finalist to be in a new reality show that is described as a combination of Survivor and Amazing Race. Heather asked if I'd take some portraits for her portfolio. We visited Downtown Carrollton and had a great time with the shoot.

Just a Sampling of Epcot...

Old

St. Augustine is old. And beautiful.

The Vineyard

As I mentioned in my other blog, I got lost in a vineyard last Monday. Well, not like physically lost where I was crying-for-my-momma lost, but mentally, emotionally lost in the beauty. It was quiet except for the rustling of the leaves in the wind. I'm not very poetic, so to describe it wouldn't do it justice.

Anyway... I got lots of photos of grapes and grape parts and vines and stuff. I thought I'd add some texture to the photos to make them seem rustic and antique-ish.

Nice grouping...

Where raisins really come from:

I pretended this grape could talk and was saying, "What, I'm not good enough for your wine? Pfft."

Can you see the bee on the top grape?
I loved the way the vines reached out and got ahold of the support wire. Look at that grip! I call this "Grape Knots".

You may notice that I placed my logo in the middle of the photos. I'm trying to discourage people from stealing my work. I haven't had any stolen yet, but I've got a couple of friends whose work has been stolen and the theif uses it as their own. Not cool.

Saints and Sinners

I photographed the Ideal Image Guy Contest Finale yesterday. It was a lot of fun! After the winner was announced, there was a band that played while people mingled and had cocktails. The band's name was Saints and Sinners. Actually, it wasn't the whole band, just the lead singer and another guy that accompanied him on the guitar. So it was really Saint and Sinner. Anyway, he was excellent. But I felt so bad for him because during his set was when the crowd decided it was time to go. Nobody clapped (except me) and between each song he was cursing the guy who hired him. He was miserable and hating each moment, but one good thing came of his gig--he gained a fan. Me.
