My Birthday

Sept 30, 2009 Day 43/365

Today is my birthday and my folks came by to take me to my favorite restaurant, El Nopal! Mmmm... Chips and salsa and cheese, beer and margaritas! My Mom got a little tipsy and my Dad didn't because he had a water (coors... light). When they got to the house I had some lights set up and the camera on the tripod to get my photo of the day. Lit us with an umbrella at camera left and lit the background with an umbrella at the wall for separation.

...and I'm up to speed!

Took a lunch walk today around the grounds at my office. Had the Lensbaby in my bag and nabbed this shot of one of the soon to be restored train repair buildings. Jeffersonville, IN.

Sept 29, 2009 Day 42/365

This is my endeavor... I have taken on scanning this stack of 21 slide trays and given myself a goal of one tray a week. It's one of those dorky OCD things I like to do; I just wish I was OCD enough to clean my desk first.
This was shot with three flashes, one full CTO handheld over the stacks, on green gelled behind the stack and a bare flash camera right at 45 deg in front.

I've fallen behind... i have still been taking my photos but doing a little too much procrastinating in posting them daily and have been told by a few folks they'd like to see the updates daily so I will post updates below to get up to speed and then be posting daily again. Thanks for sticking in there and feel free to lend some suggestions as to what you'd like to see me shooting. Cheers!

Sept 25 - Day 38/365 - I was asked by a client of a water company we work for if I wanted to go along and see what they did when the flushed a hydrant.
