Sam is an old friend of mine. Her parents have been friends with my parents practically as long as I can remember. She currently travels and performs throughout the country as a dancer. Needless to say I am extremely jealous of all the fun and interesting places she's been to. Anyway, she was recently home visiting her parents in between gigs and I offered to shoot some updated headshots for her. We had a great time and got some great images as a result. I am definitely looking forward to the next time she is in town.

Pictures with Alvaro
An old friend of mine stopped by last weekend. I have known Alvaro since junior high but haven't had a chance to see him in quite a while. Our schedules just never seem to match up anymore. We had a great time just hanging out and catching up and he was even gracious enough to pose for a few pictures while he was over. The results are below.

IR Self Portraits
The local camera club I belong to is having a summer assignment right now. The theme for August is self portraits with each week having a different theme. This week it's s standard self portrait. Of course I don't like doing anything "standard"...
So for this week I did my self portrait in infra red which can be a little tricky. It is very easy to make people look a little weird when shooting in this format. The easiest solution for this is to make the image B&W and just ignore all the funky colors you can get with infra red. That's what I did for this one although I almost submitted the color version. It was a tough call.

Playing With Available Light
I decided to lay down the flash for a while and spend some time becoming better acquainted with using available light. And Sophie made the perfect victim subject.
