P.S. - My photo to the right updates everytime you refresh the page. While some of these photos may not be the most flattering of me, they are all many faces of me. Sometimes I'm serious, but for the most part, I'm a goofball! So feel free to laugh at my expense!! :-)

    Blood Red

    As I type, the lunar eclipse is ending. If you missed it, you'll have to wait until 2010 when it happens again to see it. Or, you could just look at the photos below. :-)





    I can honestly say, my clients have almost made me forget how to take photos. OK, not really, but I can say I am much more used to doing portraits and weddings than landscapes. I went outside to take photos with no tripod. I took a couple shots and thought, "I'm not going to get this exposed right, I don't have fast enough glass!" (My fellow photographers, feel free to laugh now). The above images where taken on a tripod with about a 10 second exposure. I can't even tell you the last time I took a photo where my shutter speed was slower than as 1/15th of a second. I've got to get out more! ha!
