March Madness

I’m exhausted but felt the need to write a post since I have not posted this last week. I am still recovering from the photo trip to Omaha without a day off, but things are picking up and working hard makes me happy.

Not a cold, not now!

Darnit- Woke up with a tickle in my throat this morning. Why couldn’t I have been sick weeks ago when I was slow? No, because I have been out more shooting and shaking hands and the other day I was near kids and that’s how the germs spread. I need vitamins and oranges and some preventative care!

On a lighter note I’ve been thinking of spring and fruit and travel so I shot this photo. Entered it into the http://www.saveur.com/ cover contest. It was worth a shot.

Gearing up for the season

No more dilly-dallying as my mom would say! I think my legwork and due diligence this winter might be paying off. OR everyone is getting excited for spring and I am seeing more opportunities. Either way, I’ve been loving that busy feeling again, I do not like to sit around during the winter!

Between the normal commercial work I talked a friend into coming over for a shoot in my basement. We had great fun doing makeup and making slime. I got one great intentional shot and then a lovely mistake. Love it when that happens! I learn from all those lovely mistakes and make them intentional the next time.

Another Week Begins

Another week begins and I am excited to see a bit of green grass peaking from under the giant piles of snow out back. So while we are still covered in the beautiful cold white stuff, I am trying to take advantage and have a little fun with it!

Foot in The Door 4

Not exactly sure how I feel about the new MIA show until I see it for myself and see my own peice. 5000 works from MN artists does sound fun, but how overwhelming will it be for the audience?

Preparing for Valentine’s Day

I’ve been shooting many portraits for V-Day but I am so fascinated by the alternative ones. Maybe it’s my ability to make anything beautiful, or my fascination with not falling for Hallmark BS on a madeup holiday. But either way, I find this an amazing emotional image.

Rock n Roll Debauchery

I don’t like to think about it too much, mostly because the dates scare me, but I started taking band photos in Richmond VA in1991. From Clutch to my favorite Sliang Laos and Gwar, I’ve been dragging beloved cameras into mosh pits for a long time. Some nights it is hard to stomach standing close to the stage surrounded by drunken revelers with $3500 worth of photo equipment. But I do it because every time I create unique images that give a feel for the fun that was being had that night! And I love the colors.

Have a great weekend!!

Weekends usually mean something different to me then normal people. The weekend is when my work gets the most exciting.

I am planning a great shoot Friday evening playing with lighting techniques in the basement, then taking photos at Club Underground Saturday night, and then a kids session Sunday morning. Should be fun, just wish we could be closer to 30 degrees. Would love to get outside at some point.

Slow but steady time of the year

It’s been a bit slow thanks to the cold weather, but I have been keeping busy. I’ve been trying to schedule creative shoots as much as I can, at least to experiment with lighting. it is nice to have a breather though, and be able to regroup. When I get busy again I will be better than ever!!

Ok, back to working on the revamp of ccphotoarts.com
