Work and Excitement!

I am now an employed Studio Photographer, woo hoo!

I really enjoy the position so far, and with time I will have enough confidence to start experimenting at home with studio lighting and equipment. I would like to rent a space to have my own studio one day, we'll see!

I will be posting Photo Of The Week images number 5 and 6 pretty soon! I have some fun new shots in editing right now, and I hope to share them with you soon.

Last night was a fun shoot with Hannah and Jason, so one of my photos will be from that.

I have been doing loads of shooting on the 35mm SLR, and once I have a film scanner I will start sharing them.

March Giveaway!

Since the very first giveaway was a success, I am happy to announce February's giveaway! The winner will be informed via email on March 1st.

This month there is a choice again. :D

Option #1




The Retro What? Cow

This image was taken outside of Fredericksburg, TX. My fiancee and I had a terrific stay there recently, so this month's prizes are both going to be from there. This print is a high quality, professionally printed image in 11x14 and is perfect for that bit of unexpected charm in your home.

Option #2

The Sepia Hill Country Road

This image was taken outside of Fredericksburg, TX as well. This highway is the road you take to get to Enchanted Rock State Park, and is simply one of the most scenic and beautiful drives I can remember. This print is a professionally printed 11x14 unmatted piece, ready to frame.

Also included with either option is a 50% off coupon good in any of my shops, and a credit for one free photo retouch. Please see my listing here for more details about photo retouching.
