Confessions of a “Texture-holic”

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008 Posted in Random & Fun Photography | No Comments »

OK, can I just say that I love textures! I’m drawn to textures. Texture is so much more interesting than smooth.

I was darting down an off the beaten path highway in Alabama and this old weathered billboard caught my attention. Two miles and one (safe) u-turn later I was recording what I saw through my lens.

Doesn’t this speak to you? It does to me. It say “I am interesting. I am more beautiful than ‘new’ and ’smooth’.”

The Fire Truck Attraction

Friday, February 8th, 2008 Posted in Location Photography | No Comments »

Why is it that boys always love fire trucks. Even today,  I’m drawn to the big shining red bahemoths.

I was recently given an assignment for Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company to shoot a local presentation of a grant to the Arrington Volunteer Fire Department. While this could have been a drab “grip and grin” assignment the guys at the department were more than amiable to allow me to shoot some fun stuff with them.

An Inside Job …

Another fun job. I continue to enjoy shooting interiors, particularly when the subject of these shoots is so cooperative … sitting still and just looking pretty.

Ok, maybe this last one isn’t really an “interior” but I treated it as such with lighting and styling.
